Hi Don

I have always backed up my images on more than two hard drives. My third backup is placed in a safe place and weather sealed. As for storing into the cloud I am not a fan of this at all. We have already seen the loss of images with cloud storage. I also feel that not having your images on the same brand of hard drives as well. I am now culling some of my RAW images to keep less crap. Great podcast.

I enjoy your podcast and listen to it every week.

I was wondering if you could invite some female geek photographers to be guest hosts on your show. I have noticed that you have a large range of male photographers geeking out with you but haven’t come across a female cohost yet.

Keep it up, I sure will listen to you next show.
