Extremely knowledgeable host with very interesting guests. I think it will appeal to those in the photo world and people with a general interest in the creative process. Thank you!

I regretfully didn’t have the opportunity to study photography for my college degree, despite knowing that this is what I’ve always wanted to do. I graduated feeling like I’d missed out on my biggest opportunity to learn about so many facets of image making, leaving my knowledge of the practice with so many gaps that I felt I could never cross. Gem’s well-curated roster of guests and their incredibly insightful, wise discussion of photography has been a huge lifeline for me during such an uncertain phase of my career. All I can say is THANK YOU!! I await each new episode eagerly with notebook and pen in hand ❤️

I have listened to this podcast for a few months very carefully. It has helped me to learn more about the art of photography.

Gem is the best!

I love this podcast. Gemma’s taste, interview style, and her ability to dig deep with these artists is insightful and inspiring.

If you love photography. If you love artists. If you love podcasts. Well look no further than right here. This podcast is brilliant!

Love the people you choose to interview!! So inspiring. I love it!

While so many podcasts get bogged down in gear talk, Gem and The Messy Truth get to the heart of the medium. Super insightful questions and thoughtful guests make it a joy to listen to.

Big fan of Gem, love these conversations!

a podcast about photography and it’s wider implications. the episode with Dr Jennifer Good has completely changed my attitude towards photo ethics and the current political discussion as a whole. very grateful conversations like these are so widely available 👍

I am decidedly not a podcast person but Gem Fletcher’s The Messy Truth is exquisite and was easily my favorite thing to edit to this year

i love listening to artists i admire discuss their work and process and especially their journey into art. being self taught i feel as though these conversations are my tuition free education. <3

Great podcast. I have reached it recently and try to listen all previous episodes Thank you Gem

Gem is generous, insightful and empathetic interviewer and she speaks with talented, thoughtful photographers and image makers with diverse backgrounds, fields of practice and experiences. The conversations are wonderful, and it’s a pleasure to listen to them.

If you’re a photographer, especially if you’re trying to get yourself out there, and NOT listening to this podcast you’re missing out!! I’m so grateful for these episodes. You literally feel like a fly on the wall during the conversations you wish you could have with some of the industry’s finest—from the struggles they’ve faced during their careers, their motivations and processes and the nitty gritty on the industry; it’s just a wealth of information that’s truly priceless in my opinion. Thank you Gem, I’m a fan!
