Of all the very good podcasts interviewing artist photographers this series has the most varied content on the creative elements involved in producing photographic works. Let’s put it this way, it’s the only photo podcast the benefits from relistening. Highly recommended.

My favorite of all the photography focused podcasts out there. I love the selection of guests, ranging from some of my favorite artists to folks I’m learning about for the first time. Jordan is both researched and a great listener and it makes for fascinating conversation.

Great work, but the audio recording and mixing makes it quite hard to listen to, which is a shame.

Magic Hour simply is the best photography podcast online. Interesting subjects, good conversations and a host that is knowledgeable and always well-prepared.

The best podcast on photography, with insight into the workings of artists that are making great work. Weitzman’s interview style is casual and always leads down interesting paths. His genuine love for photography and interest in his subjects shines through in every episode. I wish more...Read full review »

Jordan Weirzman’s interviews on TGH are exceptionally well informed, incisive, and, yes, fun — essential listening for all lovers of photography and the visual arts more broadly. Weitzman’s and his guests’ frequent consideration of questions of sexuality, queerness, and trans/gender identity as...Read full review »

With extreme curiosity and sensitivity, Jordan Weitzman interviews some of the most interesting and engaged photographers and practitioners working in America today. Magic Hour is an invaluable resource for anyone deeply concerned with contemporary fine art, documentary and queer photography.

So glad this podcast exists. It fills a much needed void within the photography landscape.

Leave behind the technical podcasts; this is one of the only ones you need to listen to. Insightful, honest, intelligent and a great one for road trips and bus journeys. A key learning tool for artists.

Magic Hour is the best. I love the eclectic selection of guests, every episode is surprising and worth multiple listens. I wish each episode would last forever.

I would give it five stars except they have taken advertising from a photo workshop that many people (myself included) view as predatory. Ads aren't inherently bad. I understand that they support our free podcasts. But someone like Jordan, with his high level of taste, does a disservice to...Read full review »

As a photographer I often feel isolated by my creative process; Magic Hour provides an antidote to the loneliness by supplying listeners with a collection of in-depth, otherworldly interviews. I’ve never written a review before, but after months of listening, I felt compelled to dote on this series.

Love these interviews. Always thoughtful and inspiring. Lots of discussion around the subject of photography as a medium rather than just bios with the subjects. Lots of depth. Can’t help but come away feeling motivated and inspired. Thank you.
Miss Katie P via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/21/18
Hands-down one of the best photography podcasts -- deep insight and thoughtful conversations with great photographers every episode.
Walter Wlodarczyk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/18
Jordan Weitzman's interview with one of photography's greats, Danny Lyon is one of my favorite podcast interviews ever! Jordan asks intelligent questions that don't feel like they are strictly scripted, but are based on things his subject says. He's great at picking up on the...Read full review »

I love the listen to these. Especially on my train ride from Amsterdam - Berlin. So insightful and a joy to hear my colleagues and friends talk about the field of work, their passion, process, struggles and other real life issues. You’ve also linked me up with some good resources on gender and...Read full review »

This is an awesome podcast with some big/respected names, diving fairly deeply into the philosophy of photography without droning on too long. Good resource to improve the way you practice!
teenageburtbag via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/04/18
This is a really good podcast on photography. It’s much better than any other podcast relating to the field. Jordan is able to interview very effectively and can steer the conversation condensing the ideas. Wish there was more diverse photographers interviewed however. It’s real frustrating that...Read full review »

Just discovered this with the interview of Siobhan Bohnacker from the New Yorker. Thank you for a thoughtful and insigntful conversation about her process and also the reminder of how much we all learn and grow from looking outside of photography.
Rachel Pi via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/18
This show consistently hits the sweet spot of a good podcast conversation, managing to be both casual and intellectual, winding and incisive. Jordan knows his stuff, but reveals his knowledge organically and productively, not pretentiously. He elicits candid responses from his guests, and it’s...Read full review »

Weitzman is an excellent interviewer who has spent the first several epsiodes visiting with great artists who are making interesting work. Insightful and engaging talks that are a pleasure to listen to. Clean production and a host with a nice voice to boot. Well done.
