    Best BBQ Sauce, and best Photo podcast
    The Petapixel BBQ Sauce is the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever tried. Baby back ribs, steak, even chicken. For the vegetarians, the BBQ Sauce is amazing on tofu. Pork tenderloin, marinated with Petapixel BBQ Sauce for 24 hours, then grilled with a pinch of garlic. BBQ sauce, BBQ sauce, and also BBQ sauce.

    iPhone
    Whether you want to admit it or not the iPhone is one of the best and most popular cameras in the world today. To leave it off your “review” is ridiculous.
  • AcheronXaris
    Informative & Fun
    The title says it all. I learn and laugh with every episode. It’s my only “must listen/watch” podcast. Thanks for a great show, guys. Have you ever considered doing a meet-up in San Jose on one of your visits down here?
  • Gnathand
    Camera news!
    Love listening to Chris and Jordan! Super insightful! Funny and good business sense. Jaron definitely hates big (good) business and could just focus on facilitating a little more, which he is pretty good at. Also pretty knowledgable, and that helps drive the conversation forward.
  • Captain Lafitte
    Great camera podcast
    Appreciate all these guys so much for putting this on consistently and sharing their knowledge and opinions. Thanks!
  • R2l8z0164
    Best Podcast about Photogrpahy
    I love Chris’s humor and would like to hear more of it on the show. Also would love to hear more tips for taking great photography of all kinds, not just content about gear and types of cameras. Must listen for me each week.
  • JimV 1
    Great Pod!!
    Great Pod!!
  • Charliipresley
    Mostly Love
    Love the show aside from the “OM System” ads. Like come on. Nobody should be buying those Olympus leftovers. You couldn’t find a better sponsor?
  • Pacheaco
    Great addition to the PetaPixel EU
    Great mix of news, educational and entertaining photography info. Jaron, Chris and Jordan are a great mix of personalities. While you do miss some things when you listen to the show rather than watch it on YouTube, your boss probably appreciates the illusion that you’re less distracted.
  • Household doc admin
    Enjoying Petapixel Podcast.
    Really enjoying the podcast format. I usually don’t have time to watch a long video, but can listen to the podcast while driving or performing other task. The addition of Jordan and Chris to your existing highly knowledgeable staff is a win.
  • ShowMeTheMane
    This is fun and interesting
    Keep this up for us camera nerds.
  • CDuckie
    Interesting, Informative and Entertaining
    Thanks. I’ve been waiting for a podcast from PetaPixel and Chris and Jordan.
  • mattmagd
    Excited for more C&J camera focused content
    If you’ve been following the boys for years like I have its always nice to have more opportunities to hear their opinions and keep up with new releases and news in the photo & video world.
  • DeeboZee
    More Chris and Jordan?!
    Yes please! Looking forward to this
  • commandoace
