There is minimal gear discussion; the content is centered on what photography means to individual photographers and discussions on the industry as a whole. Here, guest photographers and commentators discuss topics historic and current, and everything in between. Excellent information on do’s and don’ts of portfolio compilation and industry secrets from those in the know. Grant’s continuing series with Bill Shapiro are especially informative to the aspiring photographer wanting to get their work seen. I don’t miss a podcast.
Informative and engaging

This is one of my absolute favorite photography podcasts. Scott talks about photography itself, what it means, where it's situated in the world - not about cameras or technique. He thinks deeply and is clearly receptive to a range of opinions and perspectives, which encourages the listener to expand their own thinking about the medium. Each episode also includes a photographer responding, in their own voice, to the question, "What does photography mean to you?" Highly receommended!
