January 19, 2021 23:21 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBHow has the dismal vaccine rollout affected photographers?

Ep. #171 - Sony Pony Droney Bologna
December 17, 2020 02:45 - 1 hour - 72.9 MBThis episode is weird. Dustin could have sent Steve his audio. Steve could have asked for that audio when he realized it wasn't there... but then Steve's massive frustration with Dustin's weird Skype glitches wouldn't shine through in the episode and then people would just think Steve and Dustin were frustrated for other reasons than technology... So here's that sweet Skype audio everyone craves so that you all know what horrors Steve and Dustin faced. This week we talk about the AirPods Ma...

We have an in depth and intelligent discussion of the new Skylum software coming out, Luminar AI, that isn't just Steve trying to get Dustin to repeat a line from South Park while D...
Ep. #165 - What is an Associate Photographer?
August 25, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 75.2 MBWhat is an associate photographer? Is it okay to put out random requests for an associate photographer on Facebook?

Also, don't vote for Trump. He's literally the reason why weddings can't happen right now and why you can't work. Sorry to get political, but the community of wedding photographers is h...

Ep. #163 - Riding on the Edge of a Snap with Ulices Del Toro
August 11, 2020 21:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBThis week's episode is a little weird. First off, it's explicit. Don't listen to it at work or in front of your kids. Second off, we didn't have time to record this week, so instead of leaving everyone hanging we're putting up some segments from some of our Patreon episodes to give people an idea of what the Patreon content is like. So, if you're already on the Patreon, sorry. Buckle up this week and get ready to hear some weird stories we didn't think we'd ever share on the main feed, and ...

June 23, 2020 22:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBThis is kind of a weird episode in that it's more serious than usual. You know how sometimes when you're a douchebag every conversation becomes a podcast (sorry, replace douchebag with podcaster). Well, that's what I did to Jenn. We were just talking through what the experience of shooting with an iPhone was like and I recorded the conversation to help me as I went to write a blog post about it later... and that turned into this episode. If you want to see all the photos, check out the corr...
