🎧 Angry Bird Pod Show – Bird Chat with Richard Birchett

In this delightfully chaotic episode, Kyle and Matt are joined by filmmaker and gear aficionado Richard Birchett for a conversation that starts with car trouble and ends... well, somewhere far from where it began. The trio dives into the gritty realities of automotive mishaps—from mysterious dashboard lights to the existential dread of unexpected repairs—and somehow segues into the world of camera lenses, technique, and creative process. Richard shares his thoughts on new gear, what makes a lens truly special, and how technique can elevate even the simplest shot.

Midway through, the conversation takes a thoughtful turn as the crew compares the worlds of YouTube videography and traditional photography. They unpack the different mindsets, workflows, and storytelling approaches each discipline demands—how photographers chase the perfect still moment, while YouTubers often build narratives through motion, pacing, and personality. It’s a candid look at how the platforms shape the craft, and how creators like Richard navigate both worlds with style and intention.

But don’t expect a straight line from A to B. This episode is packed with detours, side quests, and glorious tangents that range from the philosophical to the absurd. Whether it's debating the merits of vintage glass, reminiscing about past projects, or spiraling into a discussion about the perfect road trip snack, Kyle, Matt, and Richard keep the energy high and the laughs rolling. It’s a perfect storm of insight, inspiration, and irreverence—just the way Angry Bird fans like it.

🎙️ Angry Bird Pod Show: Tangents, Tech & Backlit Birds

This week on the Angry Bird Pod Show, Matt and Kyle are back with a chaotic blend of birding banter and gear geekery. Kyle’s got a shiny new camera and he’s very excited about it—so expect some deep dives into settings, lenses, and why backlit birds are both majestic and maddening. The duo also hash out the eternal debate: aperture priority vs shutter speed priority, and whether Auto ISO is a gift or a trap.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Angry Bird episode without a few wild detours. From strange DMs sliding into their inboxes to unexpected stories from recent bird outings, this one’s got everything—tech talk, field tips, and the kind of tangents that make you wonder how they got there in the first place.

🎙️ Angry Bird Pod – Episode 26: "Lenses, Laughs & 90s Flashbacks"

Matt and Kyle are back in the nest for another lively episode of Angry Bird Pod, and this one’s got everything from retro throwbacks to gear dilemmas. First up: a nostalgic trip to the 1990s. The guys reminisce about the era of cassette tapes, neon windbreakers, and the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons. It’s a blast from the past that sets the tone for some surprisingly deep reflections.

Then things get personal—Matt shares the story behind a recent photo that’s been making the rounds. It sparks a candid conversation about creative intent, audience reaction, and the weird ways photography can stir up unexpected emotions.

From there, it’s gear talk galore. Should they sell their RF 100–400mm lenses? The debate gets technical, philosophical, and just a little bit petty. Plus, they ask the question that’s been bugging Canon shooters everywhere: why hasn’t anyone released a new EF lens in ages? Is the mount officially dead, or just sleeping?

To wrap things up, Matt and Kyle tease an upcoming photography project that’s got them fired up—and they want your help. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just curious, they’re calling on listeners to get involved, share ideas, and maybe even collaborate.

📸 So grab your favorite vintage snack, dust off that old camera, and settle in. This episode is packed with nostalgia, gear geekery, and a whole lot of heart.

🎙️ Episode 25 – Drugs are Cheaper

We’re back from a short break and ready to ruffle some feathers! Episode 25 kicks off with a fresh batch of lens ideas—some practical, some wild, and some that might just make you rethink your entire setup. Whether you're chasing warblers in the woods or pigeons in the parking lot, we've got thoughts on how to get sharper, faster, and more creative with your gear.

Then we dive into a strange trend sweeping through bird photography Facebook groups: dozens of people posting the exact same bird over and over. Is it a coordinated campaign? A meme gone rogue? Or just a collective moment of avian déjà vu? We unpack the mystery and share our theories (some more plausible than others).

And finally, we react to a Tony Northrup video that had us doing double takes—not because of the content, but because of his absolutely bonkers camera-holding technique. Is it genius? Is it madness? Is it both? We break it down and try not to drop our own cameras in the process.

Expect laughs, hot takes, and a few spicy rants as we get back into the groove. The birds are angry, the hosts are caffeinated, and the pod is flying high again. 🐦

🎙️ Angry Bird Pod – Episode [24]: “Track and Field”

In this high-octane episode, Kyle and Matt dive into the chaos and magic of a recent race they both shot—from roaring engines to perfectly timed captures. We unpack the stories behind our top three shots each from the track, exploring what made them stand out and why they almost broke us emotionally (and physically).

Then, in true Voldemort fashion, it’s time for another gear saga. Yep, he’s switched camera systems... again. We break down the latest swap, the reasoning behind it (if any), and whether this one’s here to stay longer than a mid-race pit stop.

💥 If you’ve ever shot motorsports or just love a spicy banter between shutter-snapping obsessives, this one's for you. Tune in, yell at your speakers, or nod in full agreement—we don’t judge.

📸 In the final segment, it’s a triple threat shootout—same location, same subject, three wildly different kits. The guys compare image quality, field performance, and share which setup wins the Angry Bird Pod Seal of Semi-Scientific Approval.

Angry Bird Pod – Where rants meet reality!

In this deeply layered episode, the Angry Bird crew opens on a solemn note, reflecting on the passing of a cherished piping plover whose resilience had become something of a coastal mascot. This tiny bird’s departure sparks a broader conversation about the fragility of the natural world, conservation efforts, and how even the smallest creatures can leave a lasting impact on our hearts and habitats.

But as always, the mood takes flight—fast. From mourning to mind-bending, we unpack a growing concern: are critical thinking skills going extinct faster than endangered birds? With society increasingly glued to hot takes and instant gratification, we dissect what’s driving this intellectual nosedive. Naturally, it wouldn’t be an Angry Bird episode without an unhinged migration into MANY tangents.

Ready to let off some steam and have a few laughs? Buckle up. It’s going to be a ride! 🎙️
