Camera talk with creator-side chaos.

FroKnowsPhoto Photography Podcasts is a wide-open talk feed for the FroKnowsPhoto world, with RAWtalk as its main engine. Photography is the center, but the show rarely stays in one lane for long. One stretch might cover Canon and Sony rumors, future lens chatter, a fisheye video, and newborn photos. Another might turn a NASA image discussion into a larger conversation about Nikon, Artemis II, Apollo comparisons, and why a video suddenly went viral. The show cares about cameras as tools. It also cares about the media machine around those tools: YouTube titles, views, subscribers, revenue, vlogs, reviews, and the strange momentum of a clip that takes off. That creator-business transparency gives the feed a practical edge. Listeners hear the visible result and some of the thinking behind it. RAWtalk’s pacing is loose, jokey, and deliberately unvarnished. Jared Polin tends to lead with strong reactions, inside jokes, and quick pivots, while Steven often becomes the foil, technical helper, or steady second voice. The episodes can feel like sitting in during a production meeting after the cameras are already rolling. That informality is part of the appeal. Recent entries also widen the frame beyond photography. The unofficial Born to Bowl episodes recap Born to Bowl and feature interviews with E.J. Tackett and Jason Belmonte. Those conversations bring in bowling, season storylines, televised drama, and questions about gamesmanship. Other RAWtalk moments touch red-carpet access with Ben Stiller, large-format baseball portraits, radio appearances, audio setup, personal family interruptions, and creator friendships. The photography talk remains the spine. The personality, tangents, and production backstory are the muscle around it. It is best for listeners who want camera news filtered through a working creator’s everyday reality rather than a quiet spec sheet reading.
Made for: For photographers, camera shoppers, YouTube creators, and FroKnowsPhoto followers who want gear opinions, production stories, and informal camera-world chatter in one place.
What sets it apart: The show blends camera-news reaction with unusually open creator-business talk, including video performance, production choices, and behind-the-scenes access. It also lets side projects and personal tangents spill into the feed without sanding down the personality.
