  • Best BBQ Sauce, and best Photo podcast

    The Petapixel BBQ Sauce is the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever tried. Baby back ribs, steak, even chicken. For the vegetarians, the BBQ Sauce is amazing on tofu.

    Pork tenderloin, marinated with Petapixel BBQ Sauce for 24 hours, then grilled with a pinch of garlic. BBQ sauce, BBQ sauce, and also BBQ sauce.

  • Informative & Fun

    The title says it all. I learn and laugh with every episode. It’s my only “must listen/watch” podcast. Thanks for a great show, guys. Have you ever considered doing a meet-up in San Jose on one of your visits down here?

  • Camera news!

    Love listening to Chris and Jordan! Super insightful! Funny and good business sense. Jaron definitely hates big (good) business and could just focus on facilitating a little more, which he is pretty good at. Also pretty knowledgable, and that helps drive the conversation forward.

Severance's Jessica Lee Gagné on Cinematography, Directing, and More!
Q: When you're trying to show emotion without a lot of words, how do you approach a scene?
