I love love love this podcast! It’s both educational and enjoyable and it touches your soul. Will listen forever ❤️
I found this pod cause of the Tommy Guerrero interview and not only is it the worst Tommy interview. It’s gotta be the worst interview of all time
Grounded real talk with the big hitters
Matt’s chats are spot on. Everything from the relaxed and informed nature of the topics to the lovely guitar riff jingle makes this a heartwarming and inspirational listen.
Not only does Matt Barr get hold of some of the most interesting voices in board sports - he also manages to turn every interview into deeply human, connected conversations. Old school and big hearted, every episode offers a fresh perspective. Recommended listening for everyone, even armchair surfers like myself. 10/10
