The MOOD Podcast is a long-form conversation series exploring photography, creativity, identity, and the inner life of artists. Hosted by Matt Jacob, the show moves beyond technique and trends to examine why people make work, how creative voices are formed, and what it takes to sustain a meaningful artistic life.

Through thoughtful, unhurried conversations with photographers and creative thinkers, it explores themes of process, ethics, purpose and the tension between art and industry. It’s grounded, reflective, and often philosophical, offering listeners provocation of thought rather than formulaic answers.

The MOOD Podcast is less about instruction and more about understanding, aimed at emerging and established creatives who care not just about what they make, but why they make it. 

At its core, The MOOD Podcast is the art of conversation, one frame at a time.

“amazing chats about process and meaning, no speculating about context because the artists are right there in the room”

“I often find myself in need of one of 3 things: education, meaningful conversation, or an inspiring moment. Matt provides all 3 at the highest level”

“Matt has a way of keeping the conversation both informative and engaging. I really enjoy these discussions”
