After a long break the world’s most famous, in-demand podcast is back. The dozens of stranded listeners came unmoored as they desperately attempted to find a replacement podcast only to realize nothing came close to FWIW. Most alternative podcasts are run by those who leave the “About” tab empty. People who are compromised in one way or another would like you to know as little about them as possible. Adding or speaking about who they are might impact their analytics, serving as their primary guiding light. But this podcast host talks about what other hosts only talk about in private because he doesn’t care about numbers, data, metrics, or analytics. He cares only about camera gear and film types.

🤣🤣I have an idea why don’t you post the full transcript of FWIW to Shifter. See how many people read the whole thing. 🤣🤣 I was just wondering if these get uploaded to podcast app? If not, can you start doing that. I like listening to podcasts on the native platform since it’s easier to listen that way!

At one point they would be auto uploaded to several apps like Apple, something else I can’t remember…
But wait… you can grow your audience with my great ideas for podcast or YT topics:
The only lens you’ll ever need
Tmax 400 vs Tri-X
5 mistakes photographers make
3 secrets pros don’t want you to know
Features you want on the new Fuji XPro4
How the Leica m11 changed your photography (also do one on the new Hasselblad)
Why pros use/don’t use the zone system
17 minutes in Oaxaca with an M6 and Kodak Gold 200 – shot in slo mo of course
Review any gear anyone sends you free
That should be enough to get you going!

I think a fair number of folks work like that. Just whatever is gonna get views, no matter how useless. That part doesn’t puzzle me. The thing that puzzles me….the folks who watch.
I know the jacket well. Where I went to college, 1969-73, all the fraternities wore those jackets, with the greek letters, all navy blue, with gold letters on the left breast side, no matter which fraternity, like some sort of cult uniform, and wore them all winter no matter how cold it got, navy blue, snap buttons with a shirt style collar, and white lining.

What’s the name Chuck? We need to bring them back.
Windbreaker is what we called them, you described it perfectly. Absolutely worthless, but oh so stylish.
Author
I think my parents called it that too, but it had ZERO wind properties.
Yep, the nylon/sheer lining/buttons made certain the whistling wind had no impediment to make sure you were going to get double pneumonia by the time you got home.

Respiratory disease was my specialty at that time.
Was it a Hartwell Jacket?

That’s not it. I think generic windbreaker is correct.
Author
I think so. So ironic, the wind thing.
I think this is the winner
Author
Hmm, not sure.
Author
Close but not quite. That is a 5-star beast compared to what I’m talking about.
This. https://www.ebay.com/itm/375510858346?_skw=windbreaker+from+the+70s&itmmeta=01JCTSW1RDT0XA1CQR93XVSAQN&hash=item576e30fa6a:g:l3oAAOSwtdpmfwiJ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmv33pOWOVFUPHKw7ik7TrxUsXzo0tY8yzzVzC9q%2BwBklUV8OXv7oq7um5suZVcLIQE%2FMq6L%2BOjugA7%2Bg%2BDaI%2BLfqr7ggv4eyJpExUirEImgaPjMDnt3G0nUU5HogH5QwjMBY5gY%2BJ4BxdSdpJr60BRfdzp9T%2Ft5M3Dfy1%2FrZUh0m7bt24%2BBJF%2Bhn9VInW1FxuI9YkeKmYgvWD5TfIc3HoE5oGT3m%2Bg1OXuh4WMlOBhRUM1Dh1U%2F4o%2Bf7QONzjwuNyP4qxZzrYuaZy3PJ%2BJPNNw0K5pfSLPujFRdb4IIZL6xQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMqpzw2eZk

That looks really close. Single stich. Of course.
Ah Mr. Milnor.. you don’t understand why photographers are interested in gear talk when it’s the tools that create the art. You don’t understand why Trump is more popular than barely there Biden and Kamala and your liberal ideas are failing in the general consensus. Just accept a bit of humble pie and get in touch with real people and get off your damn high horse; it’s really insufferable at this point.

Exactly my point Dennis. And you know more than anyone what’s it’s like to no longer have your best stuff.
There is always a Dennis. Instead of just moving on and finding someone else to follow, you feel the need to share your butt hurt and lack of understanding with others who couldn’t care less about your opinions.
Author
Nah, Dennis is fine. I used to love to watch him pitch.
I’ve learned a lot from Mr. Milnor regarding photography and printing. He has invaluable experience and expertise in both areas. Just had to get it off my chest the annoyance I feel when he starts getting political or bashing gear talk. I understand clearly and am not ‘butt hurt’, and as someone who has spent a decent amount of time watching and reading his content I just wanted to give him a bit of feedback on those issues.
Author
Look, no need to apologize here. Ever. However, just know the political talk will never stop, and I will also continue to bash the gear talk because it’s bullshit and is holding a lot of people back. The gear talk is for geeky dudes who are tell me they want to get better but won’t put the work in. And politics, or talking politics is an essential.
I agree my demeanor and tone were pretty petty and juvenile. I actually felt bad for leaving such a comment but couldn’t seem to find how to delete it. My apologies to Mr. Milnor for that one
He did have a great change up.
Author
And a world class mullet.
With that stash he was a looker!
You, Dennis, deserve the best. J
Did you previously disclose the cause of your neck injury?
Author
I’m not sure what the primary cause was. Most likely I’ve had both neck/back issues for quite some time, but the neck became acute for unknown reasons.
