This week on Mac Power Users, we were fortunate to interview Apple executive Vivek Bhardwaj about the new Shortcuts for the Mac and what it means for traditional and future Mac Automation. Stephen and I also dive deep into the rest of the WWDC announcements and what they mean for the Apple platforms in general. The interview came out great and there is tons of insight in this show about WWDC. (Also, if you’d like to read the interview, Stephen got it transcribed and posted it over at 512 Pixels.)

On this week’s episode of Mac Power Users, Stephen and I are joined by Teddy Svoronos to discuss the tech that he has implemented for distance teaching and learning in his role at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

With the recent explosion in personal knowledge management tools, it is hard to know which one fits your needs the best. On this week’s Mac Power Users, Stephen and I talk through Obsidian, which builds on top of plain, old-fashioned Markdown documents.

I thought it was about time to check in with what goes in my backpack these days when I’m allowed out the front door. We cover all of this deeper with this week’s episode of the Mac Power Users.

Speaking of the new Mac Pro, we are releasing this week’s episode of Mac Power Users early. We were fortunate to interview Thomas Grove Carter, a video editor who has been using Final Cut Pro X on the 2019 Mac Pro with the Pro Display XDR. Thomas pushes the new hardware to its limits and we talk about the power of the new machine, it’s flexibility and how it unlocks new types of workflows for video editors.
