Darko.Audio podcast #11 – RMAF 2018

  • With RMAF 2018 coverage firmly in the bag, Jeff Dorgay and I discuss our favourite finds of the show – which aren’t all products – whilst springing into tangents on the idea of accuracy (again), why snake oil no longer persists, the scarcity of bad reviews and why we don’t divulge manufacturer plans.

    Photos are included below for those who want to follow along with their eyes.
