The Photowalk

I’m torn when it comes to this podcast. It remains one of my favorites photography podcasts, but I can’t help but feel like each episode is getting increasingly more bloated with filler. The most recent episode required skipping the first 25 minutes before getting to the interview. I admit that I am probably in the minority here, and that is fine, but when I compare it to the likes of The Candid Frame, Frames Photography Podcast, or Analog Talk, it just seems like the episodes are getting a bit long-winded. I will continue to look forward to and enjoy the episodes, but I’ll also continue to skip the first quarter of the episode as well.

If photography is your bag then this is the place to be. Neale has a very special way of making it all feel like a warm conversation amongst friends. One of my favorite podcasts of all time.

Long time listener, and I cannot tell you how much joy, comfort and wisdom I garner from Neale’s content. He has a way with guests, putting them at ease and helping to bring out the best in them to make for compelling storytelling. Even if you’re not a shooter, there’s something here for you. From Barney’s barks to the leaves beneath his feet, Neal manages to make each episode a sketch unto itself. It’s one of my happy places.

I love this podcast! Out of all the photography podcasts I’ve listened to, this one brings me joy! Neale’s excitement is contagious and I typically listen to it while I’m out on my daily walk. I recently grabbed my camera and went walking on a wooded trail. The entire time I could hear Neale’s voice in my head. I wondered what Neale would see on my walk. He’s made me stop and enjoy the little things. Keep up the good work. A fan from the USA

I’ve listened to a lot of photography podcasts, and while I enjoy many of them, often they are very gear-centric. Others are interview-centric. Photowalk is the only one that takes me on a photographic journey each week. The framework of going on a photowalk through the English countryside, interlaced with an outstanding interview with a well-known, or not so well-known but highly interesting and accomplished, photographer just works. Neale’s interview tone and style is highly informed, but easy going. It’s a very pleasant way to spend and hour or more each new episode. And in our turbulent and chaotic times, there’s an uplifting tenor to the show that’s very calming. Five easy stars!
