Photography and capturing memories is a huge part of modern existence. We all do it, nearly daily for most of us. There is a huge difference between a snapshot and an image that takes you back to a moment, that evokes a memory and a feeling.
Photography can also be an incredibly rewarding part of the process too, It complex, engrossing and the end product lasts a lifetime. In this podcast, our guest is Isaac Johnston, a professional outdoor, adventure and lifestyle photographer.  His work is simple, clean and feels incredibly real.

Designing, developing and improving motorbike kit must be a thankless task. The kit I want vs what is possible often seems a million miles apart and the process of trying to get to where we as end users want our kit to be, must be tricky.
This weeks guest is Rod Macintyre, a Senior Apparel Product Designer at REV'IT. Over the last few years we've seen some increasingly progressive designs and ideas coming from the Dutch brand, from award winning protection to the wild but incredibly functional Expedition H20 boot. I've been fortunate enough to use some of those products and fall in love with their approach.
It's also sparked a conversation with REV'IT that led to this podcast, where we talk about how and why REV'IT approach product design, where the ideas come from and how they tackle the endless challenges from material science to sizing for a global market.

For a really long time I've been lucky enough ride with people who are great at making and planning rides. While I spend most of my time worrying about the riding, the shots we're getting and how the bike I'm riding is working, planning the route hasn't been a priority.
As I'm starting to explore the new area that I'm based in, I've realised I don't know anything. I'm a complete novice and it's tricky.  In this episode we're breaking down all the elements of finding, prepping and planning your routes for your rides.

Right back at the beginning of season one of the podcast, before Covid and all the other jazz, I did a podcast about the choices motorcycle brands make and why they make them, with my  friend Chris Northover. It was fascinating and allowed us to tackle some really tricky questions, the type of questions we've all sat around wondering.
This podcast is a direct follow on from that, tackling the hurdles and challenges of producing a motorcycle from scratch. Our guest is Uli Ast, a member of the Product Design team at BMW Motorrad. In this episode we cover the who, what and why of the production process from developing the idea to arriving at an end product.

This week's podcast is returning to the subject of the internet and some its wisdom. We talk about one of the most regular comments I receive on videos, the new Harley and why it's so damn interesting and how it compares in every way to the new KTM 1290 Super Adventure R.
