“This podcast contains 10% information and 90% commercials -- regarding their sponsors, their upcoming photo shoots, and their guests new books, events, etc. It is so blatant and overdone that I can't believe people give it such high ratings. I think it's because it's free.
If you want to learn photography, take a course at a city college. If you like to hear people say the same things over and over and at least 90% commercials, you love this program. Every interview includes a promo for whatever the interviewee is trying to sell.
I actually believe more photographers make money with all these peripheral activities than they ever made in photography. Had anyone ever even heard of Juan Pons before he teamed with Rick Sammon?
Try to listen to their latest podcast, ~1 July 2011; I gave up after the first 20+ minutes. There wasn't one new or interesting thing said in the entire time -- just Rick & Juan reminding everyone how to spend their money joining them at an unending list of for-profit endeavours.
It's really getting sad.”
