“These guys don't pull any punches. Real insight from professional photographers. The information is valuable and usually spot on. I just wish they would complain less. Seems like they are always whining about something. It's tiresome.”Read full review »

The true value is in the on-line community that the hosts have cultivated over the years, with the listeners working with/supporting each other between the monthly shows and the YouTube channel dedicated to photo reviews. If you...”Read full review »

“The quality of this podcast is mediocre at best. Ryu sounds like he has marbles in his mouth and Matt is a condescending jerk. Meanwhile they poop on the photos their listeners send in. They have condescending attitudes about people who are trying to learn and get better. The topics are...”Read full review »

“There is a wealth of information about sports photography online. Many of them will teach you to shoot sports at a respectable level. However, your pictures will look like your fellow photographers' and they don’t stand out. That kind of quality may be acceptable to most photographers, but...”Read full review »
