Daniel PintoIn this edition, we highlight the accounts of our favorite podcast creators, from the biggest names to some who are just starting out but are coming with a bang.
1. About Effing Time
They're the new kids on the block, and the bad kids too. An all-star team of watchmakers came together to create a fun and irreverent podcast, with a casual feel, honest opinions, and plenty of humor. Its popularity has been dizzying, and the video and audio quality is impeccable. George Bamford's perspective from the manufacturer contrasts perfectly with the journalistic perspective provided by Adrian and Andrew. Ideal for listening at home with a good gin on a Friday afternoon.

2. The Grey NATO
One of the "classic" podcasts, TGN stands out for its unique style and its very specific topics. Adventures and utilitarian watches dominate this podcast, where Jason Heaton delights us with his diving trips to exotic locations, always with a new watch on his wrist, and James Stacey tells us about the progress of his self-built lake cabin project. Here we'll see a lot of love for Seiko, Sinn, Benrus, Citizen, and in general all the reasonably priced brands that offer watches ready to be tested to the limit, always, but always, styled with a gray NATO strap. Ideal for listening while planning your next vacation, with a glass of bourbon in hand.

3. The Minimalists
This is perhaps the antidote to everything the watch hobby represents. The Minimalists team has become famous in recent years for proposing a simpler, more straightforward life, with fewer material possessions that hold us back and deprive us of freedom. Their themes are simple yet revealing, and their guests always offer fresh perspectives on the subject. It's ideal to listen to when you're considering downsizing your collection.
