OM SYSTEM wants to involve the community in their celebration, so, from now until November 13th, they're inviting you to share what nature means to you with a chance to win an OM-5 kit, an incredible piece of photography gear, and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure: a five-day Lindblad Expedition for two to Iceland on the National Geographic Explorer.

This week, Jaron is out so Chris and Jordan are joined by Ted Forbes to reminisce about the worst, weirdest, and downright strangest things they've ever seen at trade shows and press events.

But before they regale you with those stories, the trio discuss Apple's new M3 processors and the computers you can find them in and how they feel about the winning entry of the world's largest photo competition being staged. They also talk about TIME magazine's choice to name two Sony cameras and one Canon camera as three of the best inventions of 2023. All that and more in this week's podcast!

We use Riverside to record The PetaPixel Podcast in our online recording studio.

We hope you enjoy the podcast and we look forward to hearing what you think. If you like what you hear, please support us by subscribing, liking, commenting, and reviewing! Every week, the trio go over comments on YouTube and here on PetaPixel, but if you’d like to send a message for them to hear, you can do so through SpeakPipe.
