This week’s episode of Mac Power Users features Myke Hurley, who talks about how he is using his iPad Pro and some of his favorite workflows for the business side of running a podcast network.

There was a problem with the feed (my fault) where some listeners got last week’s episode (MPU 316) instead of the new one. If that’s you, just re-download the episode and you’re fine
