  • Better options

    I have listened to quite a few of the episodes but I am sorry to write that I think there are better podcasts out there covering much the same ground. Ian comes across as a nice guy but he isn’t a great interviewer - less about himself and more about the guest would help because that is the reason we are listening to the podcast in the first place. Don’t ask a guest a question and include in that question what you think the answer is going to be from them because we are then left with something ... more

  • Inspiring!

    I Love prime lenses - both the podcast and the actual lenses!

    I’ve been listening for quite a while now and have worked my way through most of the episodes. Ian is a fantastic host with a genuine passion for all things photography. His enthusiasm really shines through and makes every episode engaging.

    Thanks to this podcast, I’ve discovered new photographers, interesting cameras, and even some grassroots photo-sharing platforms I’d never heard of before.

    Absolutely 10/10 – I can’t fault it. ... more

  • Captures the heart of photography

    Undoubtedly the best photography podcast there is. What Iain has created here is truly addictive - the back catalogue is a treasure trove of meaningful discussion about real photograph, not the gear.
