  • A great interviewer

    This is one of my favorite shooting podcasts. Arik is a gifted interviewer with the knack of getting into the mind of the guest. He has a rare ability to ask leading questions that reveal insightful answers. More importantly, Arik is one of the rare podcasters, who actually seems to care about the answers, and allows guests to actually talk.

    Fun and interesting interviews! I’ve been trying to be better about supporting good podcasts by leaving positive reviews. As I’ve been doing this I can’t help but notice people that admittedly have enjoyed many episodes but then leave a negative review about a particular episode. These are garbage people. Podcasts are FREE entertainment. We need to support guys like Arik who put out a fantastic show with great guests. It’s a lot of work!

  • Great podcast

    I have learned a lot of really good information about training by listening to these interviews. As an instructor, I find the insights valuable. My personal favorite episode is the interview with Ron Avery. I’ve listened to that episode at least a half dozen times. Check this one out. This podcast won’t disappoint.
