    Ep. 384 RE-UPLOAD: Turns Out You Can Take It Back – and more

    This is a re-upload of Ep. 384.
    There was apparently a glitch during the upload process and the original file (which is still in the feed) stops abruptly in the 27th minute despite being 50 or so minutes long.
    This is the episode to listen to. Ignore that other one.  :)

SonyGear4LHutton ,

Love this podcast

I have been listening to Sharky for years. I can’t seem to get enough of his wit, knowledge and style. This show offers in-depth insight into the industry as well different perspectives on photography. Sharky knows his stuff!

BillyBob Rockafeller ,

News is good, opinions "meh"

I listen to this podcast for the news. I could do without the aged out of the industry boomer takes.

Mr FTP ,

Go back to the “no name photo show”

The “no name photo show”was much more interesting.Also A LOT less commercials also.
