Ep. 235: Do photographers dream of Leica-made sheep?
Thursday Feb 11, 2021
Thursday Feb 11, 2021
On this weeks show we're joined by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Greenstein, the two utterly delightful hosts of the camera collecting podcast "I dream of cameras", as well as being writers and producers of some of the most iconic shows in Hollywood, but really, who cares about that when there's cameras to talk about.
The conversation goes all over the place, as you might expect, but it was a real good time, and as well as listening you can also watch the show on YouTube, which is well worth your time as John was doing some incredible real time producing of his own so there's plenty to see going on.

Ep. 234: Mental Collodion
Thursday Feb 04, 2021
Thursday Feb 04, 2021
On this weeks show it feels like we've gone full Cher and and turned back time, because it's Ade and Graeme talking to our old friend, Simon Riddell!
Simon joins us to talk about his struggles over the last 12 months, and how wet plate photography not only gave him a means of coping with these difficult times, but ended up being far more important as a tool for mental wellbeing both for himself and others.
As the subject matter is a little heavier than usual, and Simon says shit an awful lot, this may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners.
