Today... Den chats to an old palsy-walsy named Nick Bell. Nick's a fiendishly good freelance videographer who's just got back from a gig that's almost every videographer's wet dream - filming at the Olympics.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• A “30-second breakdown” of Tokyo's Olympic diving camera set up. - 4:00
• Nick's “down-n-dirty” years. (Hear about Nick's humbling experience when building up his videography career as an Englishman in New surroundings, namely, Australia. - 6:00)
• Two sure-fire ways videographers can keep the work rolling in. (These two ways aren't anything you haven't heard before, however, most videographers could dramatically improve upon these two ways. - 7:00)
• How Nick was thrown in the deep end filming the Olympic diving. (No, no, not literally, although that would have been a good story, too. Hear this at - 9:00)
• Nick's goofs, blunders, and screw-ups while filming the springboard divers. - 10:00
• The "fake" medal ceremony. - 12:00
• Just how hard does a videographer work at the Olympics? Here Nick talk through an average day of filming at the Tokyo Olympics.13:-00
• Nick's rare act of “unprofessionalism.” (This very forgivable lapse of judgment happened right after British diver Tom Daley won gold. - 16:10)
• Why Tom Daley (British gold medallist) knitted a scarf for Nick and the camera crew. - 18:10
• Nick's professional opinion on the pros and cons of having the Olympics with no crowds. - 18:30
• If an Olympic athlete wins gold at the Tokyo Olympics and no one was around to see it, did it really happen? (Hear Den wax philosophical on the importance of videographers at 19:20)
• Nick's quarantine experience that will almost make you envious. - 26:00
