Podcasts worth listening to

Stopped listening to mostly a while back but the recent interview with Kalis is pretty good. He chats Slap, pay grades and reasons behind his anniversary boards.

This one combines a lot of my interests (Vsauce, Hannah Fry and nerdery) and is pretty good WFH background

A taster episode turned up in my pods the other day. Might give it a go. I’ve tried a couple orher goalhanger pods but they arent always good.

James Hudson Union Tapes

No doubt BMX focussed, but James Hudson was editor of SK8 Action in the 80s, had a vert ramp in his back garden, is the older brother of Chris Hudson, and was friends with Carl Shipman. So, probably worth a listen for the old timers.

Chaos sections were so good. I had the OG 411 issue from which this was in. Luscious Jackson with the perfect tune, too!

Somebody posted it a while ago. It’s nothing extraordinary but I enjoyed it. Jerry is a well-spoken and interesting guy. I’d totally listen to his podcast if he ever made one.

Any good non-skate podcast recommendations? I realise that’s a bit broad but I’m open to whatever

This has been pretty fun for some long commutes.

I had a listen and it is pretty shocking. I can only imagine this sort of stuff is sadly common for female skaters. I have no real proof of it but I thought I heard a rumour Laeticia had a pervy agent during her rise to fame that had her doing that weird video with the blurry topless shot. She must have had so many uncomfortable encounters.
