  • Stories of life

    Neale James is a fabulous host, introducing us to a diverse and global community of photographers. Every podcast is different, with interviews tailored to the guest and linked to the interests of an extraordinary community of camera carrying photowalkers. Don’t expect much kit talk, this is stories of lives lived with a camera. Highly recommended.

  • Best Photo Podcast

    I love this podcast! Out of all the photography podcasts I’ve listened to, this one brings me joy! Neale’s excitement is contagious and I typically listen to it while I’m out on my daily walk. I recently grabbed my camera and went walking on a wooded trail. The entire time I could hear Neale’s voice in my head. I wondered what Neale would see on my walk. He’s made me stop and enjoy the little things. Keep up the good work. A fan from the USA
