  • Warning: Addictive!

    The Terrible Photographer quickly became my favorite photography podcast. The conversations are so deep and relatable, they usually linger in my brain for several days after listening.

    It’s raw, real, but it’s not heavy, quite the opposite. Patrick’s voice, the way he pauses, and the sound effects feel like he is taking you by the hand through all the emotions he wonderfully conveys. I am a fan!
