Happy Easter Friday! 🐣

A few weeks ago the amazing [Samantha Bell](https://www.samanthabell.com.au) invited me to her podcast, [Natural Genius](https://naturalgenius.com.au/).

I love Sam - she's a genius, so lovely, so smart, and just so much fun.

You can watch it on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLByY6z1cR4):

You can also listen to it on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0LdfHsWbaec7WAst52PsOe) and [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/31-chris-hocking-saying-yes-solving-problems-and/id1866513082?i=1000758937097).

Hope you enjoy my rants!

**The Wall Street Journal** has also released an awesome little video titled **Apple Just Showed Us Rare Prototypes—Even Tim Cook Hasn’t Seen Them**.

You can watch it on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74qPQt_5DdM):

Also, following on from yesterday's news post, there's been some cool things in the **FCPBridge** world!

There's an awesome geeky read on [Final Cut Pro Application Internals](https://github.com/elliotttate/FCPBridge/blob/main/docs/FCP_APPLICATION_INTERNALS.md).

There's also an equally geeky and great read on [Final Cut Pro: Mac vs iPad — Deep Dive Comparison Report](https://github.com/elliotttate/FCPBridge/blob/main/docs/FCP_Mac_vs_iPad_Comparison.md).

We now have a dedicated FCPBridge channel in the [FCP Cafe Discord](https://ltnt.tv/discord).

For those that celebrate, have an awesome fun and relaxing Easter long-weekend break! 🍫
