I am a beginner wildlife photographer from NJ where i primarily shoot waterfowl in the winter and I have an hour drive to and from work everyday where I look forward to listening to new episodes, it keeps the drive interesting especially the sky diving story haha. Anyways check me out on Instagram @jfauncephotos thanks! Keep making these awesome episodes. Looking forward to doing some of your workshops in the future. Hopefully I don’t have to walk in a river to test the depth lol

Listening to these guys talk is like a soothing mediation of nature, wildlife and photography. To have people so at ease with their craft, wax poetic about their subject is a joy to listen to. I have been a photographer for 15 years and there is always more to learn, always ways to improve. I live in an isolated community and listening to the conversation makes me feel like I’m at the table, and can share and grow with them. Keep doing what you are doing, and thank you. IG @3wavesphoto

Your pro-tips at the end of each episode are icing on the cake, thanks for sharing your genuine enthusiasm of shooting.

Love u guys Listen often Always learn stuff Ordered my next lens 100-400 Through prescion camera z !!!!

I’ve listened to Wild and Exposed for a few years now. I’m a “weekend warrior,” so I enjoy listening to the stories and living vicariously through the hosts and guests on the show. They advocate for wildlife and frequently talk about putting the well-being of the wildlife first in their priorities. The hosts educate without talking down to listeners with less experience. I look forward to each episode.

Not only are these guys amazing photographers and cool guys (I’ve met and photographed wildlife with some) but this podcast is so fun and informative. Keep it up, boys…but stop the NANPA episodes. Keep the hosts to the 4 or you.

I would like to hear your opinion on baiting and using electronic calls in wildlife photography. Besides people leaving meat for foxes/wolves or baiting owls with mice in Winter, there is a new “phenomenon” getting more popular in the last few years. Unfortunately it is widely used during Spring - nesting season. Many photographers are using electronic bird calls to get songbirds to more favorable perches. This changes bird’s behavior as instead of looking for mate or carrying for nest, birds are being distracted to look for an intruder that isn’t there. You may think that using calls here and there is harmless but than we have photographers like Ray Hennessy who runs workshops for 3-4 weeks in Spring. For 28 days he is there every morning and evening, or at times all day, playing sounds in hopes of getting birds low and close for his clients. Additionally, he does this on the grounds of the National and State Parks where use of calls is strictly prohibited. How do you think Ray is getting those “breath” shots? Simple! Using calls! Did you see a photo that placed 2nd in BPOTY Birds in Environment category? I bet you that this bird was also lured in close to the camera with an artificial call! What are your thoughts?

Well, I’ve nearly completed Season 1, and I’ll have to say I’ve been totally enthralled by vicariously joining these folks on their wilderness endeavors, and learning so many little “hacks” of the trade. I’m a photographer that’s still quite wet behind the ears, and here’s what draws me to eagerly continue to listen to these podcasts… First and foremost, they make it crystal clear that the well-being of the animals are of utmost importance. With plenty of zoom power and ample planning and patience, these guys are wonderful stewards of Mama Nature, and are still able to deliver indulgent wildlife content, both still and videos. I actually came across the Wild and Exposed Podcast through North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) website. NANPA uses nature photography as a means to promote conservation and preservation of our natural spaces and the inhabitants, so to have this podcast promoted by them speaks volumes. Secondly, while these folks are top notch professionals in visually documenting wildlife behavior, they are so good-humored, down-to-earth, humble people are aren’t afraid to share what they’ve learned, failures and all. So, I’ve personally learned so much, from animal behavior/biology and geography, to how to create visually compelling stories and the gear to do so, all while having my share of belly laughs listening to their sometimes hilarious experiences. So yes, 5 stars, and I’d highly encourage folks to jump on and come along for the ride. Sam R.

Information and perspective you can’t get anywhere else. The guys come from different backgrounds and focus so they can cover the full gamut of nature and wildlife photography. I forget a lot of things during the course of my week but I never forget to catch the new wild and exposed podcast!

Great podcast with lots of tips and stories. Inspiring me to step up my game!

Enjoying the great content focused on a genre of photography that I enjoy and work to improve upon daily as an amateur I lern something from every episode and look forward to the next one

I’m a sculptor, of mostly wildlife so naturally I’m drawn to the wild n exposed content.. it’s a different perspective, but I’m always inspired and entertained by the witty and engaging stories, pro tips and bantering among the hosts .. well done guys !!

I have listened to every episode. Great content with a great group of hosts and guests. Tune in and gain some free knowledge - and have a great time!

This was my first listen to this podcast and even though IPrimarily shoot landscapes this was a great podcast. Great information and it feels like sitting in coffeehouse talking to other photographers.

Every Podcast is filled with great stories and information. When they have a guest on the show you can be sure it will be full of great information. Very enjoyable.

Just found these guys a few months ago and have been listening to past episodes. I find the show fun and informative and also motivating. Sometimes I need that extra motivation to get up at 05:00 on my day off when it’s cold out to get out into the field for sunrise.

Thanks for all the inspiration guys and gals.

Wild & Exposed is the best wildlife photography and adventure podcast you could ever subject your ears to! From technical to technique, they’ve got it covered. The guests on the show are always great and the knowledge shared is boundless. It always amazes me how quickly an hour or an hour and a half can pass when listening to these guys.

I’m on hour 10 of listening and can’t stop. Really wonderful conversation and beautiful stories about photographing in beautiful places.

This is a really great podcast if you are into wildlife photography, whether you’re a hobbyist or professional. Lots of fun stories and lots of good info.

I really enjoy binging episodes while I’m traveling for photography or actually out looking for wildlife! The tips are helpful and I appreciate the down to earth attitude of the guys! The lighthearted camaraderie they share with the audience via the podcast makes me feel like I have a group of buddies to shoot with, even though I’m alone 99% of the time. Unfortunately, there aren’t tons of serious wildlife photographers near me, so the podcast gives me a sounding board, of sorts.

I love the stories of adventure and outdoor experiences. The hosts are awesome and always give great pro tips!

Love the conversational aspect of this Podcast. And so many wonderful and helpful tips to inspire. If you love wildlife and photography, this is a must!

Hands down the best photography podcast available. These gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable, field tested experts at their craft. All of them world class, yet down to earth and easy to listen to. One of the most excellent details of their show is, they create an environment where you feel as if you’re hanging out with your buddies shooting the breeze, but gain so much knowledge and insight into the passion of photography. They have amazing guests and it is abundantly clear their guests feel completely at ease with these guys and share incredible stories and their own tactics and strategies for capturing amazing photos. They also share “Pro Tips” which are exceedingly valuable, and will without a doubt improve your own photography skills. Give’em a listen, you WILL NOT be disappointed!!!

One of my favorite podcasts to listen to especially while camping during photography trips. Informative and entertaining !

This is my favorite podcast. Great for all experience levels, worth listening to for the adventure stories alone. I discover the podcast earlier this year and have since been going back to listen to old episodes. Highly recommended!

Time well spent: an hour or so discussing wildlife, conservation, photography and related issues with a few of your like-minded buddies. Adult beverage optional. I always learn something in every podcast - animal behavior, photography tips, gear recommendations, whatever.

Great group of guys to listen to, lots of info for all levels of photography. Good sense of humor as well.

Far and away my favorite podcast. Always informative and entertaining. These guys rock. They are pretty good with a camera too

Hands down the best podcast out there when it comes to wildlife photography.

The Senator from West Virginia who spoke out against Pebble Mine is Joe Manchin. Senator Manchin is a Democrat; not a Republican as Ms. Ranney incorrectly stated. Vote Biden and this assault on our wild lands.

Best of the best in wildlife and nature photography! I love that the focus is more about the experience of being in nature and interacting with wildlife, than the more traditional “how to” and gear reviews. This is by far my favorite podcast of any genre, led by a trio of experts in the field.

If you’re looking for a wildlife podcast to accompany you on drives or even just something to listen to in the office look no further. Even if you’re not a big photo guy the content that Ron, Michael, formerly Mark and now Jason put out is top notch. They’ve covered everything from big game to the little critters with the ability to keep conversation flowing like it’s a late night fireside chat. The gem of this podcast is the interviews that they do, I’m talking some really outstanding individuals from all walks of the wildlife world. On top of that they will throw in pro tips that you can actually use to perfect your craft. Missy crushes it in production especially because the guys don’t have the worlds greatest microphones or internet connections sometimes and she can turn it into some killer product. In conclusion if you’re looking for an honest podcast about wildlife photography that isn’t created by people out there for the profit then stop here and take a listen and you will probably pick up a tip or two from these guys. To Michael, Ron, Jason, Doug, and Missy keep on crushing it and producing A1 content.

Great hosts, great content, and great tips! Keep ‘em coming!

I’m a beginner just learning to shoot and I’m entertained, educated and inspired by this show. The hosts seem like they’d be fun to have a beer with.

I’m an amateur photographer at most but love the stories shared her and the lifestyle that they let us live vicariously as we listen in.

Great content, great style. My new favorite. They also have skype type versions on their YouTube channel which include great wildlife footage! 5 stars!!

Always looking forward to the next episode!

I am set in my ways and resist change. I do not like this one any less. Thanks Mark. I have enjoyed your voice of reason. I will continue to listen.

I’m not kidding... this podcast is the only reason I use podcast... whenever I’m hiking In the field looking for wildlife to photograph my headphones are in one ear as I listen to Mark, Micheal, and Ron narrate their EPIC (haha) experiences in north eastern Canada and all over Alaska! When I’m home or on the go editing pictures... guess what... I’m listening to this podcast... if I’m driving or commuting anywhere guess what... I’m listening to this podcast! Seriously these guys rock! They have so much knowledge to share about strategies and tips and tricks for novice and veteran wildlife photographers! If you’re a wildlife photographer or have any interest in dipping your feet into the diverse and incredible world of wildlife photography look no further than this podcast to be your go to learning, and entertaining podcast that will make you think, laugh, and feel large amounts of envy after hearing their experiences and trips! Huge Fan here! Thanks for always keeping me company in the field! -Tony

This podcast is a must listen for anyone interested in wildlife, wildlife photography, adventure travel or nature photography. Loaded with tips, first-hand experiences, interviews from the field, and many insights from years of knowledge all wrapped with a great conversational feel from these three guys.

There are many ways to photograph wildlife, and this podcast does a great job of looking into many of those different ways. The guests they have on have a variety of different careers in the wildlife and nature photography field and offer different insights into each path they took. I can listen for hours and want to listen to more!

The experience of the WE crew is well worth the listen. From NJ to CA the tips have made me a better photographer.

Ron and the boys are awesome. The humor and experience shared make my day.

I really enjoy listening to Mark, Michael and Ron. The always have great stories about their experiences photographing wildlife. They obviously have a passion for what they do! As an avid wildlife photographer and outdoor enthusiast myself I enjoy their wonderful guest interviews, gear reviews and tips. Keep up the great work!

Engaging, fun, informative, and always enjoyable.

Thanks W & E team! Great podcast! So timely as I research the pros & cons of moving to a mirrorless system!

It's great finding like minds, and this podcast covers a lot of photographic interests. Not only is the team experienced and can hold up the entire show series on their own, but they go out into the field and find interesting fellow pro photographes to interview. There's something to learn with every listen; whether it be camera/lens, packs/gear, hacks/tips. What a great idea and what a fun find! Thanks Wild and Exposed/Truth and Legend, you guys = Da Bomb!

These guys are for real. Decades of experience compiled into each show. Listen Up!

Just a group of genuine people, who all share a passion for the great outdoors and documenting their adventures. Along with the fantastic stories, this podcast is chalked full of incredible tips and advice to better your own photography. 5/5 keep up the phenomenal work!
