  • Some good, some bad. Sadly time to go.

    Loved listening to most episodes. But the politics has to go. Episode 457 caused me to unfollow the show. It was about nothing but left wing politics.

  • F stop and gate keep..

    Some interesting content. But seems like it’s mostly turned into a giant gatekeep fest and makes host and guests look like elitist spot snobs… if you’re not in their circle then you don’t deserve to know a location..

  • Love the discussions

    Inspiring conversations about photography and nature/landscapes. I will say the editing and cutting mid sentence is very unnatural and difficult to listen, save that for Tik Tok
