  1. I am a big fan of the show and appreciate the effort all of the team puts in. However in this episode the comment from Alex about the digital escorts being a bunch of people in India getting paid to like photos was rude and such cliche is not expected from TWIP

  2. I agree @ Jerry Boucher. Gavin is a skilled photographer but I can only take him in Very small doses. Maybe he should be an auctioneer?

  3. Gavin makes some good points but they tend to get lost because of his hyperactivity. I gave up on his podcast because guests can’t get a word in edgeways.

  4. Just wanted to make sure that Gavin’s interview also gets positive feedback: I would love to have more stuff like this on the show. His speaking style could perhaps be refined, but I didn’t find it hyperactive or hard to understand; I found it very engaging. He came off as very passionate and filled with knowledge he really wants to share!

  5. I like Gavin’s presentation so much, I’m sending a link for the show to my brother.

  6. I just can’t listen to Gavin. I also stopped the podcast for the same reason and had tobff in the middle of this. He is a very good photog though

  7. I agree. I listen to Gavin’s podcast to, in small doses, and find him quite full on. He has a great deal of knowledge and is incredibly passionate, but comes across badly as a speaker most of the time. Keep up the good show guys, only podcast i listen to regularly.
