Today on the show Steven and Shaun give us an update on their exciting weekends, while Shaun probes Steven on how good his new Mac Mini M4 is. The guys also chat about the Mantis Q40 from Humanware receiving some big updates this winter, and they talk about a new version on the VOCR addon for Voiceover users on the Mac.
