On episode 60 of the BSP, I first cover my new piece of gear; the DBX 286s, while explaining what this item does, and how I’m using it for this podcast. I then talk about the end of the podcastage giveaway, and my findings on if running giveaways has any long term effect on your subscriber growth. Then I talk about about my first collaboration, and picking up a new bass.

In news, I cover the removal of annotations from YouTube, and what this means for tech youtubers, as well as a few updates being made to twitter. The last piece of news I talk about relates to getting an anonymous smartphone with unlimited data.

Then we get into TV & Movies of the week where I recommend LOVE Season 2. In terms of what I’ve been testing, I briefly talk about the DBX 286s, the Furman M-8x2, and then talk about my new Das Keyboard mechanical keyboard for mac.

Closing out the podcast, I introduce a new segment titled “Ask Bandrew” where you send your questions to AskBandrew@gmail.com and I answer your questions on a future episode.
