Since it’s the end of the year everybody have to publish their top-list of something. So here are my top podcasts and youtube channels
Podcasts
For podcasts I have only one “you should really, really listen to this” recommendation:
- He shoots, he draws - it’s a really fun and interesting podcast by Glyn Dewis (photographer) and Dave Clayton (designer). Most episodes are conversations (or “chit chats”) between the hosts where they talk about photography, design and other things. A number of guests have also appeared, some who are well known like Joe McNally while others are unknown to most people.
I also listen to these:
- A beautiful anarchy - David DuChamin discusses the creative side of photography
- The digital story - Derek Story mostly photo related news
- The Martin Bailey podcast - personal experiences + some guests
- Photogeek weekly - Don Komarechka focus on “nerdy stuff in detail”
- Photo nerds photography - three professional photographers discussing various things (there haven’t been any new episodes in about 4 months when I’m writing this)
- PhotoActive - various topics, mostly non-gear stuff
- Tiny Shutter - all about mobile photography, mostly iPhone
Youtube
