Drawing on years spent observing people, places, and moments, each episode shares a single thought or theme about creativity, work, and the way ordinary days unfold. This podcast isn't about photography as a craft. It's about the way we notice things, make sense of our days, and carry ideas around with us.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T20:17:18.584022+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halfway-to-maybe-7632718"},"episode":{"title":"First breath, last fire","slug":"first-breath-last-fire","published_at":"2026-03-26T08:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halfway-to-maybe-7632718/first-breath-last-fire","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halfway-to-maybe-7632718","url":"https://03c7b261-a763-42a3-92d6-5044b0c7bb1e.libsyn.com/first-breath-last-fire","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/03c7b261-a763-42a3-92d6-5044b0c7bb1e/REF068_First_breath_last_fire.mp3?dest-id=5248205","summary":"The ghats of Varanasi conclude this travelogue from almost a month of travelling with my lens, and with an important birthday in our family today, I find myself reflecting upon the nature of beginnings and endings. Reflections is a daily podcast featuring short thoughts on life, creativity, and how ordinary days unfold. Each episode is a single spoken piece, shaped by years spent watching people and moments through a camera, sometimes about the art of photography, and sometimes the act of life. Read more about adventuring the world with a camera, and the tours we organise through The Journey Beyond . Leave comments to the show at our email: reflections@breathepictures.com Some episodes sit with making things, others wander into work, travel, memories, or the habit of noticing what tends to be overlooked. Nothing is explained or wrapped up neatly. These are just honest reflections, shared one at a time. Reflections are there for the in-between moments of the day. Something to listen to while you're doing something else, and a chance to recognise a feeling, a thought, or a moment you might have had yourself.","meta_description":"The ghats of Varanasi conclude this travelogue from almost a month of travelling with my lens, and with an important birthday in our family today, I find…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":748,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/halfway-to-maybe-7632718/episodes/first-breath-last-fire/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/halfway-to-maybe-7632718/first-breath-last-fire.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
