  • Great Great Podcast

    The Photo Banter Podcast makes my day so many times. How Alex is asking questions and having fun about the talk is magic. I am a German photographer and the personal insights are great and uplifting. The last ones I heard are Benedict Evans and Alec Soth. But I heard so many good ones 🥰 Big recommendation !!!
