  • Seriously good stuff!

    Driving home at night from weddings or gigs I use these podcasts to help me get home safely and to keep me entertained along the way. I love the banter, the fact that they are gear heads and know their stuff. They have been responsible for my purchase of a Sony A7iii which I had not been considering up until listening to them waffling about it. Keep it up boys!
