The Smart Ho Podcast

In this second and final long-awaited photo stories episode, Carissa shares the 'many' photos she had taken in Japan and the stories behind each shot. She discusses her experiences shooting with the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM prime lens and what she would do differently.  They then go off on a long tangent about the art of photography and how photos can now be easily manipulated... thus sparking the Smart Ho throwback revolution of film cameras. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Carissa Smart Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VERO: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://vero.co/designbyaikonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David jump right into Apple's WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event (yes, it is a bit late). They do their best to break down the latest products that were announced and touch on how rushed the event felt.  They dig into what's actually changed since last year and which products they would consider a better value as content creators. David questions who the new Mac Pro is for, as he does a price check while comparing the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro. They then discuss the latest features of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, WatchOS 17 and MacOS Sonoma- or Samoa, as David mistakenly thought. Lastly, they share their concern about the new Vision Pro and the future of technology. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Carissa Smart Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VERO: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://vero.co/designbyaikonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

It's been a while but Smart Ho get behind the mic and debriefed us on their absence. We find out Carissa was running amuck in Japan - so she's for sure to blame for everything. David dives right into the belated news updates regarding Canon's upcoming flagship camera confirmation. They then dig into the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra fake moon news and debunked Samsung's camera technology. Carissa, although remaining sceptical, believes it is all just a marketing ploy because it's a 'Galaxy' phone and the moon is in the.. well... GALAXY! Lastly, they dig into the latest (at the time) news regarding Meta's Paid Verification Program rollout, what it means to be verified and how much it will cost for a blue checkmark on Instagram and/or Facebook. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast⁠⁠ Carissa Smart Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/⁠⁠ VERO: ⁠⁠https://vero.co/designbyaikonik⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart⁠⁠ David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David reconvene after a little break and dig deep into iPhone cameras (Specifically the iPhone SE (2022), 12 Pro Max, and 13 Pro Max). David, although sceptical, has whipped up a photo/camera comparison to debunk Apple's camera hardware 'improvements' over the years. Carissa, cynical about her answers, uses her photography skills to try and spot the differences between each photo while also being blindsided by a few of the results.

In this episode, Carissa unveils a digital wall that resembles her real wall but is dubbed 'The COOL Wall'. Carissa and David decide which pieces of tech/gadget items are cool and which are not by placing photographs on various sections of the wall. The categories are, from left to right; "Seriously Uncool", "Uncool", "Cool" and "Sub Zero". According to David, an important part of each item's coolness factor rested on the extent of the item's pros and cons but also if they currently own the item in which case immediately belongs in the "Seriously Uncool" as part of an acknowledged rule that any items owned by themselves cannot be considered cool. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast⁠ Carissa Smart Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/⁠ VERO: ⁠https://vero.co/designbyaikonik⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart⁠ David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David are back for another Q&A episode to end off the year. This time Carissa is in the hot seat with David asking all the questions. They share their concern about the lack of inspiration and the amount of repetition lately on social media. David stumps Carissa with a question related to vlogging. Carissa justifies her thoughts on shooting in 120FPS, 24FPS, shooting with iPhone cameras and sharing her overrated thoughts on 8K cameras. David then talks about who his top-five/seven go-to YouTubers are, while Carissa figures out her top anyone.

The Smart Ho team reconvene for part two of the Q&A series where Carissa fires away questions about all things related to photography and cameras in which we continue to learn a bit more about David. They share their first experience with film cameras as well as their introduction to video. When asked about his dream lens, David describes his hopes of Canon making a small and lightweight lens that does it all (including a low aperture for that bokeh). He also shares the last lens that is missing from his kit to complete the holy trinity RF lenses set - hint: it's dubbed the "perv" lens. They then dig into what type of photographers they are and what sets them apart from the crowd.  Lastly, after touching on their preferences with colour or MoMo and photo or video, David shares his Apple photography class experience from back in the day. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast⁠ Carissa Smart Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/⁠ VERO: ⁠https://vero.co/designbyaikonik⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart⁠ David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

In this non-sponsored episode, the Smart Ho duo get back on the mic to describe a brand-new series on the podcast called Photo Stories. After David fails to be chivalrous by offering Carissa an opportunity to present her first photo, David gets the ball rolling with his first photo of his late dog, Andy. He dives into the back story of how Andy passed away, Andy’s personality and how much of an impact Andy was on him. Carissa shows an ANGRY photo from her childhood and dives into how this photo pretty much sums up her personality from a younger age. David then shares a recent photo from a trip to Stevenson Falls and how much pain was behind the smiles in that photo. Lastly, Carissa indecisively ends the photo stories with her second photo(s) from a pre-COVID family trip to Edinburgh Castle and discusses what she now realises she would do differently compared to back then regarding photos and videos. — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast Carissa Smart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/ VERO: https://vero.co/designbyaikonik Website: https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa starts off the episode by asking David what his Starbucks coffee order is as she questions why his coffee standards have gotten a bit boujee. David shares a long-winded story about his introduction to Nespresso coffee pods and how this all started. He then touches on how he discovered the coffee mate creamers while Carissa questions if she’s been missing out as she has not tried them before. Carissa, although very curious, she remains sceptical questioning if David is overhyping the hazelnut creamer.  After David mistakes IGA for Aldi, Carissa does a taste test of both the vanilla flavour creamer and the hazelnut flavour creamer. Which one does she prefer? Does she even like having creamer in her coffee? — Watch/Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSmartHoPodcast⁠ Subscribe to the exclusive audio-only extension podcast: Carissa and David  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2grB98BVq1xl9WO7SOUA6T?si=7f6f0b64d4cf4ced — For Clips and Other Fun, follow: The Smart Ho Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesmarthopodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesmarthopodcast Carissa Smart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/designbyaikonik/ VERO: https://vero.co/designbyaikonik Website: https://www.designbyaikonik.com.au YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carissasmart David Ho VERO: https://vero.co/davidho — About The Smart Ho Podcast: Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends.  Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David are back to discuss AMWF (Asian Male, White/Western Female). David quickly learns that Carissa is unfamiliar with the acronym and debriefs her on the meaning behind the acronym. We also learn that Carissa is an AMWF supporter as she ‘subtly’ tries to deny that she does NOT have a ‘preference’ for dating Asian men. They share their dating experiences being each half of the AMWF community and David makes a suggestion on how to meet people during the pandemic. They also open up about being ghosted and try to break down the best psychological way of dealing with online dating to avoid another traumatic ghosting experience. David compares himself to the Asian men as seen in Korean drama (K-Drama) and explains the disappointing reality— hint: it’s not real!
