Firstly, thanks to all of you who have been writing about the show…we are working hard to get a new one on the air ASAP.

A quick question about show #88

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Hey folks, Cameron here from TPN HQ. Apologies for the recent lack of shows, but Scott asked me to pass on to you that as soon as we’ve got the server running reliably again, he and Michael will be back with a new show.

I Sound Better in Translation

Friday, March 7th, 2008

March 6, 2008: Our blogging software shows us the pages that link to this one, and sometimes I click through to see who’s referencing us. While I appreciate all the nice things people say about us (but not the not-nice things; whoever said “any press is good press” had a thicker skin than […]

First Review of the Nikon D60

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

March 3, 2008: A site with which I am not familiar, PhotographyBlog, has the first full review I’ve seen of Nikon’s D60, their new entry-level DSLR.  This is a camera we discussed extensively with Nikon in our interview, live from PMA, on show #83.

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

February 29, 2008: Just the other day, a listener asked me how to combine two versions of an image in Photoshop. He wanted to adjust one version for the highlights, another for the shadows, and then use the best of both.
I gave him my advice, which I’m sure wasn’t as succinct or helpful as this tutorial, published in PC […]

February 29, 2008:At PMA, I fell in love with the Sony T300. I talked on air about the super-sleek styling of the camera, that looks like something James Bond would use, only cooler.
