  • Excellent podcast

    I have listened to lots of podcasts and I find that the photography pod is one of the best. Nick and Steve get some great people to talk about their photography. Such interesting people doing some fascinating work, and they all talk so passionately about what they do. Keep it up guys, great work.

  • Unlistenable

    The audio quality is so poor that it is too difficult to listen to, which is a shame, as much of the content is interesting. Internet compression, delay and echo, along with poor recording techniques prevent what could be a good podcast coming anywhere near its potential. Easily fixable though, so hopefully this will be the case.
