It’s me! In the final episode of View Finders, I explain why the show is ending and the most valuable lesson I’ve learned along the way.

Thanks to all of my guests and to you, the listeners who have downloaded the show over 30,000 times in over 120 countries around the world. The biggest thanks goes to my wife and daughter who have supported me on this venture over the last 3 years.

Jodi Cobb is a pioneering photojournalist based in Washington, D.C. As a staff and freelance photographer with National Geographic for more than three decades, Jodi photographed over thirty stories and developed an international following for her visually powerful work. Jodi was the first woman named White House Photographer of the Year and one of her photographs is on the Voyager Spacecraft, out in the universe forever.

Jodi learned to communicate through cultural and language barriers as a child and these skills have served her well in her career as she has penetrated an array of closed worlds. Jodi was one of the first western photographers allowed to enter China in the late 1970s, she explored the hidden world of the women of Saudi Arabia in the late 1980s and her powerful piece on modern slavery exposed the brutal world of human trafficking in 2003.

This is an insightful and moving conversation with one of the pioneering women of photography who brings a rare blend experience, wisdom, compassion and expertise to the table. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the fantastic Jodi Cobb.
