I've been GMing games of Pathfinder on and off for a few years now, and have spent about a consistent year in a single campaign. I think it's safe for me to say that I consider myself more or less good at it.
But there's a lot that I'm still not comfortable with. Not just rules but the spaces between the rules. And I'm looking to learn from some people who could be considered "master class" if there is such a thing.
I figure there must be some amazing DMs who have recorded their sessions. I'd love to see some of these and get some ideas for myself. If anyone knows any great campaigns that one could examine, I'd love to see them

I've been looking for the same thing. I found some sessions on youtube that are a lot like my games, so that boosted my self esteem a bit.
Alternatively, you could broaden the search to include great storytellers, which is what civilians call their GMs...
Great story tellers are wonderful, and good to look for, but I think there are some specific things about being a GM which storytellers don't really deal in. Specifically how to make certain rules and how to deal with player interaction.
PS Can you show me the sessions you have found?

I'm a fan of Happy Jack's RPG podcast. It ain't Pathfinder, but they have a couple of gameplay games mixed in with more broad gaming discussions. Check out the Saga of the Inukai actual play sessions.
This is a wonderful idea for a podcast. I wish there were more out there.
2 GMs 1 mic is a great general rpg pod cast.
It's too long ago for me to remember.
This is one I found recently and will check out (the software seems nice too): youtube channel
but I don't know about quality yet :)
There are recorded sessions and playtests from cons. Youtube search eg. >> rpg session << or similar.
The gamers guide use to be a great one but they haven't made a new pod cast in years
I've gotten this idea that the opposite of this idea might also be true: I record my session and let people critique me. I'm going to try that too.
3.5 Private Sanctuary rotates a variety of show formats, GM-specific being one of them. I've gotten some good advice and ideas from Ryan and the crew there.
That said, I would ABSOLUTELY listen to a more dedicated podcast focused on helping me to become a better GM. I'd be more interested in that than in general Paizo news and reviews.

Hey Shimnimnim,
I watched a bunch of video's from tetsubo57 on Youtube. They aren't gaming sessions or such, but the person is experienced GM and tends to discuss a lot of topics related to RPGs and Pathfinder amongst those usually between length of around 10-15 minutes per vid.
Hope it helps,
Malag
