Season 6 continues with our mid-week banter episode of The Photography Pubcast—zero pixel-peeping, maximum stories. Dave drops a wild US road-trip saga (hello high-altitude cerebral edema, wheelchairs, and sheer grit), including the hot take: “Yellowstone is an abomination.” Jamie unveils his retirement side quest: metal detecting in Roman-rich Peterborough (coins, brooches, even a medieval gold ring). Daz reveals a big house move after 21 years (and a monster fence build), while Sam returns to guitar and AI stem-splitting to revive old band demos—Beatles-style workflows without the studio bill. Gary quits cricket, angles for golf, and somehow leads us into the great sock–shoe order debate.We also clash (politely) on phones in schools, doom-scrolling, and the future of newspapers and photography magazines in a streaming world. This is the second half of our new two-episode format: photography chat on Sundays, banter on Wednesdays—so tell us what you prefer.Jump in the comments:• Sock order—right-left or left-right?
