A podcast about film photography is an oxymoron of sorts. You can’t show anything about what is, to its core, a visual medium! Yet listening to people talk about gear, films, and the creative process can give you excellent ideas for your own work.
In a companion of sorts to my big annual list of film photography blogs, here’s a list of podcasts by film photographers.
These podcasts are active: they release episodes regularly and have released episodes recently. They also meet my subjective standards for interest and production quality.
I’m linking to these podcasts’ Web site when they have one. If they don’t, I’m linking to their page at Apple Podcasts. If that doesn’t work for you, search for these podcasts on the whatever service you use.
What made me create this list is finding out about a new podcast about the creative side of photography by Daniel Sigg, who shoots primarily film. It debuted yesterday! Have a listen here.
Here now, the podcasts:

Before you ask: I’m not starting my own podcast. Despite my background as a radio disk jockey, I prefer to write and I adore blogging. If that makes me dinosaur, so be it!
