  • Better Seen Than Heard

    I am a fan of Paul’s work, including the shows he does with Brad and Leo and Richard. His website is terrific too. But this should not be an audio show. He shows you new skills and features you may not know, and it’s clearly designed to be watched. Audio of it isn’t helpful at all. That’s nothing against him, he’s great. This is just a show that needs to be seen for it to be of value to the majority of its intended audience.
