Another year has come and almost gone for the Wild Nature Photography Podcast. I am pleased to report that 2024 has been our biggest year yet with more episodes and more downloads than any previous years and I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the continued support that has enabled our podcast to grow and reach more people – thank you. I set out with the intention of trying to do a podcast every other week during the 2024 year and more or less achieved that with a few small gaps here and there. There is another podcast coming pre-Christmas, I have just been getting over a nasty cold I picked up somewhere in South America after Antarctica and have only just started to feel better. Of course, 2025 is now right around the corner and I hope maintain the momentum and continue to grow the channel over the course of the year. If you would like to support the channel you can do so here by buying me a coffee. Your contribution helps with the ongoing hosting costs.

Not surprisingly, the most downloaded episode for 2024 was when I dropped the news that the Canon EOS R1 would be 24 megapixels (it was amazing how quickly the YouTubers grabbed this news for their own videos). The old adage that gear sells remains true in photography with podcasts about equipment unsurprisingly attracting the most downloads. Nevertheless, I intend to continue to review photography books as I maintain they are still the very best way to improve your photography and that new equipment (although fun, is frequently detrimental to the end result in the short term). Of course, there will always be more gear talk (I enjoy that as much as the next photographer), but there is so much more to Nature photography than the equipment we use. Some Podcast statistics for 2024 below.
