  • Lack of discernment

    Same old cast of characters talking about bad decisions.

    Addiction, self afflicted disabilities and incarceration.

    Glorification without anything deeper than surface level reflection.

  • Is Boulala’s life only a tragedy?

    It was great to hear from Boulala, and I’m sure the interviewers meant well, but I found the insistent and almost obsessive preoccupation with Ali’s history of drug and alcohol use very bizarre and misguided.

    Interviewers set the tone of the conversation, and the one set here pathologizes Ali from beginning to end. He appears as little more than a drug addict. But what about his childhood? His beginnings as a skateboarder? The whereabouts and role of his parents while he’s in the US at such a ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.260- KEO
Q: What was your mentality when you were hustling? Did you have a positive mentality on the world? Did you have a war state mentality? Did you have a paranoid mentality?
KEO says he was frequently intoxicated and using drugs from a young age, which muted his conscience and empathy. He wanted acceptance and toughness, but recognized that this path went against his values.
Ep.260- KEO
Q: How did that change your relationship with money and the way that you think about money?
KEO contrasts the material pressures of his youth with the creativity that flourished in difficult circumstances. He describes learning to survive with little and says that graffiti and other youth arts grew from scarcity and the cultural proximity of New York neighborhoods.
Ep.261- NATO
Q: Why do you think the 80s and 90s is a time period so heavily referenced, so heavily looked upon for influence and inspiration, even though it was very violent?
NATO points to nostalgia, but also to the era's creative friction and reappropriation, as artists and subcultures repurposed materials, spaces, and instruments in ways that felt distinctive.
Ep.261- NATO
Q: Why did you get into graffiti?
NATO says he started by experimenting with tags and became fascinated after seeing Style Wars. Graffiti gave him a sense of identity, community, accomplishment, and a way to navigate his surroundings.
Ep.258- Steven Cales
Q: When did you first start skateboarding? How did that happen?
Cales says he started in 1986 after moving to his grandmother's home following his mother's death. His older brother let him try a neighborhood kid's skateboard and then bought it for him.
