Send a text message to the show!I’ve got a major case of Influenca, meaning that I’m sick of influencers. This past week saw the rise of a massive influencer campaign for a new photo/video product that I personally find overpriced and under-designed.

I don’t know, but I ramble about it for almost an hour, so check it out. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?
