Henry did a great job of cutting it around many other segments from other podcasters, but it is presented here in full. Neil heads out along the railway line in search of a couple of pictures. He does that quite a bit it would seem...!

As such they've got a massive list of stuff that they want to chat about, but only touch on a small bit of it - but don't worry they do throw themselves head first into many a rabbit hole. Some of them are even related to photography! Shooting lenses outside your normal comfort zone, Gandolfi cameras, other podcasts and how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected things in general.

There's me learning stuff, having fun, getting stuff wrong, pulling my hair out (what little is left) and ultimately a happy ending. Its a bit longer than I'd hoped but that happens I guess sometimes when you ramble on without a coherent idea of what you're doing... Apologies for the wind noise in some of the segments. Theres a lot of cursing in this show just to warn the people that care... ------------------------------- ...and who's Stewie you ask? Well, I was reading something about people having names for their large format cameras the other day and I thought it was odd. But I still got to thinking what the Speed Graphic's name might be. I was watching an episode of Family Guy and it occurred to me that the initials SP, Speed Graphic, were the same as Stewie Griffin...therefore Stewie the Speed Graphic.

    Welcome to possibly the most awkward podcast you'll hear all year. Basically I have decided over the past couple of months that it could be a good idea to set up a Ko-Fi page for the show, and after some convincing by other podcast hosts and friends I have bitten the bullet and done so. I really dont know how I feel about it, hence the awkward show but the general consensus from others was "if people like the show and want to donate, they cant if you dont have a page set up..." which is a very fair point. I just dont know how much people actually like the show I guess. To make it clear: I've never once expected or even wanted to make a penny from this show, and that still stands. Anything that you lovely people do choose to throw in will go into the pot for use with the show. I talk about that more in the show. Thanks for listening, every single one of you are awesome.
