“Obviously I am a bit biased as I am one of the co-hosts on the show. BUT considering that we haven’t had another review in like 6 years so I thought I would try to get the ball rolling. Please leave a review and let us know what you think of what comes out of our mouths.”

“Photo Focus is known for ads and product placement first, which would make it more enticing for the creators to list these sponsors in the show notes. However, I can't find any shownotes on their website. The sound quality could definitely use an improvement - get some realy mics guys. ...”Read full review »

“The guys seem super nice and knowledgeable but I can’t make it past all of the obnoxiously distracting sounds. The audio is rough. I listened to the episode about the eclipse and I swear it sounded like Darth Vader was breathing into the mic for at least the first 15-20 minutes. I’ll come back at...”Read full review »

“This podcast used to be great. Rich Harrington and Scott Bourne had great podcasting voices. Lately, more and more of the podcasters have vocal fry. The podcast still has good content if you can stand the poor sound quality: vocal fry, sometimes background noise, and sometimes bad levels.”

“I listen specifically to the Mirrorless Show and only to the others occassionally. I find the discussion a good way to keep abreast of mirrorless news, and I'm interested in the opinions of the hosts about the cameras they've tried. I am a bird photographer like Scott Bourne, so I am...”Read full review »

“So glad to run across this - I'm always looking for podcasts that actually inform and teach, especially about photography. These guys knock it out of the park - and I especially love that they often talk about the business of photography as well. Perfect for pros and amateurs alike.”Read full review »
