  • Interesting and Educational

    I have been listening to TWIP for many years since they were talking about 500px and Lytro amongst other things. Seems to be more focused on interviews now rather than current events but they are always interesting. Definitely worth a listen if you are interested in photography.

  • TOO MUCH AI TALK

    Can we please get past this AI chatter. I use to like this podcast when they talked about things that were actually meaningful to photography.

  • Interesting topics, but..

    A bit unbalanced between speaker time. Feels like host get to say a lot more than the guest.

  • One of the best photo podcasts

    I’ve been listening to the podcast for a few years on and off, but the latest Episode with Tom Jenz really moved me, so I decided to take the time and write a little review. I found it interesting how photography can intertwine with personal stories. Keep it coming and thank you!
