This week on the podcast, James interviews IntangibleDandy and things get super nostalgic!

In addition to the regular questions about his toy photography beginnings, James asks Eric about his love of 1980s cartoons like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, Transformers, and G.I. Joe. He sheds some light on his past and present storylines, his creative process, how toy safaris have changed him as a photographer, and his recent panel at the Washington State Toy and Geek Fest in Puyallup, Washington.

Since we didn't end up doing a full review of the new LEGO Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them collectible minifigures here on the blog, we thought it would be fun to do so in podcast form! 

James is once again joined by fellow Potterhead Lizzi Standing for this episode, as they discussed each of the 22 new minifigures, the various new sets, and of course the upcoming 6,000 piece Microfigure-scaled Hogwarts Castle. They also opened up about their histories with the Harry Potter franchise, their thoughts on the various film adaptations, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and what Hogwarts Houses they're sorted into.

This week on the podcast I interviewed Dan Leonard, the UK-based toy photographer behind the #WithToysInMind hashtag on Instagram.

I've written before about my own struggle with depression and how I've used toy photography as a therapy. So it should come as no surprise that my ears perked up when I first discovered #WithToysInMind on Instagram. I truly believe in what Dan's trying to accomplish with this hashtag. He wants to raise awareness about mental health, fight against the stigmas that keep people from seeking or receiving help, and creating a safe space to open up about their own struggles. I was happy when he said he'd be willing to discuss the project, and his own history with depression.

In a very special edition of the podcast, I'm joined by Shelly and Brett to discuss our recent LEGO Ideas Voltron project! Due to scheduling conflicts and the last-minute nature of this recording, I wasn't able to assemble all of our Voltron Paladins. Anna, David and Janan were sadly absent from our conversation. Still, the three of us had a great time reminiscing about the project. 

We discussed what it was like shooting this ingenious monstrosity, how a product shoot like this differs from doing our own work, and more!

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by friendly neighborhood photographer Janan Lee, aka Spideygoeshygge! 

Janan is relatively new to toy photography, but has already become an integral member of the community. He’s originally from Singapore but now lives in Melbourne Australia, where he recently co-hosted the Melbourne Photo Walk with our pal Tony Tulloch.

I talked to Janan about why he loves and photographs Spider-Man, whether becoming a father has affected his photography, the great power and great responsibility that comes with social media, and more!
