“Stephen is cool. Todd as an absolute legend and gem of a guy (RIP Todd). Jared is one of the most out of touch, talentless, d0uche bags in the industry. He is an absolute clown that lives in a fantasy world. A world where it’s cool to wear tight “I shoot RAW” shirts and he is good at taking...”Read full review »

“Great way to start the weekend. Look forward to it every Friday. Stephen is awesome and it’s great of him to let his friend Jared come on the podcast and be a host. It’s not often you get to listen to a GLOBAL INFLUENCER share knowledge about the best lunch spots in Philly. If you love podcasts...”Read full review »

“Jared and Stephen bring you the best photography content. They give unbiased reviews on gear with experience photographing in the real world not just reading specs. It’s funny, interesting and unfiltered.”

“I love that it's unfiltered. I love hearing about the life that surrounds photography as well. Jared trying to pick up women amuses the hell out of me. Steven I love hearing about your little and can't wait for you to start watching Bluey with her. The right amount of photog news if I...”Read full review »

“In a world where I have embraced podcasts, having new editions hit my inbox daily, Friday stands out. Friday is Rawtalk day !
As very much an amateur photographer, with far from the latest kit, I feel very welcome. The show of course covers all the new gear available, but does this in a way that...”Read full review »

“Jared Polin of Fro Knows Photo fame has a podcast entitled RawTalk. Released every Friday, this podcast is a bit like Seinfeld- it’s not really about anything in particular. Don’t download this expecting photography talk- sure, it may come up- but this is The Jared Show.
With cohost Stephen...”Read full review »

“Each episode is like shopping at a second-hand store. You have to skip through a lot of useless crap before you get to the actual posted topic. Even then, they don’t always stay on topic long before drifting off to more useless ramblings and rants and label it as “RAW Talk”, (cue eye roll). And...”Read full review »

“Big case of "main character syndrome", the way he talks about women is cringe. He can't stand not being the center of attention, was never a working pro photographer but wants to be recognized as such. Everything about this podcast is awful.”Read full review »

“Love this podcast, it’s entertaining and informative. Gives more real reactions to new tech and camera equipment that the Photo News Fix doesn’t have the time to explain!
But the tangents….. that’s why I stay listening to the busy brain of Jared is alway fun!”

“This is a great podcast that sits nicely alongside the other content. I pick up so much information listening to this on the drives to and from work etc, and not just that my pictures will be crap unless I buy a 20k lens or two. I laugh a lot too. Keep it up chaps 👍”

“The anti-Asian racism jokes turned me off. I was formerly a big fan but the consistent racism against your audience isn’t a great look. No wonder his subscriber base doesn’t grow, he is making racist jokes about 7% of the US population + more internationally. He’s ironically making fun of...”Read full review »

“Hello guys, maybe I missed that answer on some raw talks I still need to listen to, but have you ever explained how you two met?
