So what podcasts, if any, do you guys listen to?

For me it's
FPP.
Negative Positive.
Sunny 16.
 
I've heard of a few - actually, just the last you mentioned - but have no idea how you listen to them. So, none from me. Are they just audio?

I see they are on spotify. You can download a free version if you don't mind ads.

Sorry to be a bit thick, but spotify talks about Google Play, Apple and such like. Do I need a smart phone for this, as I don't have one. I usually see the word "app" and think it's not for a Win10 computer. I don't want to get involved with Google play. Sorry this is very off topic.

Yep. Some have their shows hosted on Anchor which is a free hosting service for podcasts. You can click the button and play on your computer without needing anything else. (e.g. Neg Pos: https://anchor.fm/mikegutterman)

I have an app on my phone. You subscribe to a show and whenever a new episode is released it's downloaded to your phone. I think Apple has one, and there's Spotify, but there are also dedicated podcast apps. I use Overcast because that's where I can get all my listens.

No problem.

Google "spotify for windows download"

You'll be good to go from there

No. You don't need a phone. If you listen through a computer for example, most of the shows I mention can be googled online (just add "podcast" to the end of it) and they have a website where you can play the podcasts directly. Apps just make it easier to group them all together, but you could just set up a folder of bookmarks and do it that way.
 
I've only ever listened to one that was film photography related , the name of which I can't recall ( thats how much impact it had on me!), and tbh i found it to be little more than en egoistic trip of the guys who were discussing what they were doing/ had done .

I don't support egoism!

Perhaps others are "better" as in more specific info for the listener, informative, etc, but having not had a particularly encouraging first experience I'm not really drawn to listen to others .

Perhaps I'm shooting myself in the foot, I dunno......If there's one specific to LF phtography , I may be tempted to "open an ear"

ah just noticed that you've posted this Ian, so LF does exist

Yep. And they open the show with talking about what they've been doing.... :wince:

However, with that show in particular, it's worth fast forwarding through that bit because they have some great guests and very interesting information. I only listen occasionally because my desire for LF is no more. I just check the show notes to see what they're on about.
 
I'm a big fan of podcasts - another listener to the LFPP and a few more on this list. Some which I've not seen yet on the lists.

The Lensless Podcast - Andrew Bartram (from the LFPP) and Corey Canon on pinhole photography.
A Light in the Dark - not listened to yet, but I will be soon as I start learning to print in the darkroom
Classic Camera Revival - kit heavy, but a fun listen
Lensworks - concentrating more on the fine art side, and a much shorter listen than some of the above
Sunny Sixteen Presents - the Sunny Sixteen's community produced podcast - there'll be an episode from me on there "soon".

And when I say big fan of podcasts - my app tells me I listened for 49 hours last week... (Commuting, home gym, home office, and my fresh air walks/runs - I prefer to listen to words than music!)
 
I've listened to quite a few podcasts, mostly film-specific; but the problem I have with many of them is that they are just too long. After a few episodes listening for 1-2 hours and not being able to remember the content afterwards, I get more reluctant to invest the time again. I think that many podcasters could benefit from learning the discipline involved in radio or TV shows where you have a fixed time slot to stick to.

An exception is "The Togcast" which isn't film-specific, but neither is it gear-heavy. The shows are often shorter and give the impression that the presenter thought about what they were going to say before hitting the "record" button. There haven't been any new shows since June 2020 but the old shows are all on Spotify.

OK, that's my grump for today out of the way.

I found this to be better when I started deleting shows I wasn't going to listen to. Rather than religiously listen to Sunny 16 (for example) every week, I just browse the show notes to see if the content is my cuppa. If it isn't, I just delete that show and wait for the next one. And whilst I think Simon Forster is very knowledgeable (and Andrew Bartram), the LF and Classic Lenses and pinhole stuff they talk about isn't my area of interest. Unsubbed from them too.

Another add: Photography Matters, Ted Viera. Because chocolaty voice sounds chocolaty. And his shows are rarely over 20 minutes.
 
Kevin makes a vg point about the duration.

We all have different concentration limits and tbh mine tends to be very short thus 20mins or so of listening is sufficient and enables the content to remain fresh and thus easier to register.
Taking content on board for an hour or two is , for some , very draining and unproductive.
 
I haven't seen The Fuji Cast mentioned. They are pretty good at keeping to a time schedule and despite the name it is t totally Fujifilm related.

I get what you mean. But if they have been doing an interesting or unusual project I don't mind if they wax lyrical.

I get you. There's one I listen to thats general photography rather than film specific, and it seems every third episode is blathering on about how amazing they are, and how they're smarter than everyone else. It irritates the absolute beans off me, but some of their advice when they're not being gods gifts to photography is rather good.
