What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Excellent podcast for working pros. I aged out of photo podcasts that are just the same “how did you get started” interviews, and I deeply appreciate the perspectives and discussion from two active, practicing creatives.

King DD · Jul 2026

Wise, insightful and pretty funny discussions by working photographers on a field in the midst of massive change. It’s both reassuring (mostly) and informative, and I can’t think of a better resource on the subject.

Westside Fan · Jul 2026

As a student photo journalist, I keep hearing all my professors talk about how we must just give in and adapt to AI and state of the industry. It is so refreshing to hear people I can look up to, and who have mentored me, share a perspective that centers the question “why?” instead of just saying “alright” and going along with things.

r_pete · Jun 2026

What impressed me most is how thoughtfully and eloquently they discuss commercial photography. Photography is fundamentally a visual language, yet Jay and Bill have an uncommon ability to translate its nuances, challenges, and artistry into words.
