John Arnold was your average hobbyist photographer until he started sharing his knowledge of photo-editing techniques with the world. Now he produces one of the most popular Photoshop tutorial video shows around: Photowalkthrough.
When & why did you begin podcasting?
I was inspired by my buddy Chris Marquardt - host of Tips From The Top Floor. I was a regular listener to his show and I wanted to show the members of his forum how I’d processed one of my images. It turned out that a screencast was the simplest way to show what I’d done and people seemed to like the results so I kept doing them.
What is the most significant thing to happen to you personally as a direct result of producing your podcast?
It’s a bit of a dream come true because the result of doing the show is that I’ve actually become a photographer for real. I was a hobbyist like most everyone else but doing the show forced me to learn, learn, learn and start behaving like a photographer. It turns out that’s a big part in becoming one.
What podcasts, if any, do you regularly listen to or watch?
I’m still a big fan of Chris’ show, Tips From The Top Floor and I listen to quite a few photography related shows. I’m also a gadget fan and geek so I listen to quite a few tech shows including TWiT and Tech 5. I also love No Agenda for the sheer randomness of Adam and John’s discussions.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
More than anything as a kid I wanted to work with computers. I ended up as a programmer but I’ve always been keen on art and I could never understand why people insisted that science people couldn’t also be art people. I’ve been trying to prove that we can be both my whole life.
What does the future hold for you and your show(s)?
The more I immerse myself in photography the more I realise I’ve still got a lot to learn. From here it’s onwards and upwards. I’ve also realised that I enjoy teaching very much so I expect I’ll continue running workshops and producing tutorials. More than anything else, though, I love the community that my show has built up. It’s creative, supportive and educational - we share an interest and enjoy each other’s work.

We thought it was about time for a whole new look to our amazing show. So this week you get to experience it first hand. Our producer James suggested that we keep the show looking fresh. We put our heads together and with a few changes here and there and a whole lot of man hours we managed to spice things up and create the new face of PodfinderUK. With having told you that, I’m sure you are keen to get on with the show. So enjoy!
To kick off this weeks show we dive into a video podcast called Keith and the Girl TV. This show is extremely funny as Keith his girlfriend and their mates film themselves doing the most random activities imaginable.
This is followed by a great audio show called Dan Carlin’s hardcore History. This man knows his stuff. If you up for a challenge or just a few interesting facts, look out for Dan’s review.
Now from History to Horror and facts to Fiction we look at Neil Dixon’s audio book podcast, Persistent Spirit. The story is set in the early 20th century, Edwardian times. This pathological cynic of all things paranormal is catapulted into a collision course with an undeniable supernatural force. So be prepared to have chills sent down your spine.
After listening to a episode of Neil Dixon’s audio book, you might need to watch our next show called Relaxation & Chronic Pain Relief. Jason will help you relax and forget about problems you maybe having.
Our last show Digital Flotsam is a mixture of music, well told stories and discussions. With three podcast pier awards under his belt I’m sure this show will keep you entertained for hours.
