Episode 10: Joe Ryan

Attentive followers of this podcast will recall that Joe Ryan was one of the recommendations provided by Episode 6 guest, Brent Pearson. Joe is a film maker, photographer, creator and explorer, and while he makes documentaries for a living, he’s also created a YouTube channel where he documents his motorcycling adventures. I spoke to Joe shortly after his return from New Zealand, where he had shot an 18-part series, which at the time we spoke, had begun to appear on his YouTube channel.

Joe and I had a wide-ranging chat about the many aspects of creating travel films and publishing to YouTube.
