    I had the privilege of knowing you and skateboarding with you in Nowra a long time ago back in the late 90s, I always looked up to you as one of the older boys. I love hearing about some of the conversations you guys have with some of the people I have met and had the privilege to skate with to. All the best Shannon thanks for the great podcast and the interesting conversations you have. Take care mate.

  • Binged listened

    I’m not a skater, or surfer, so was pretty surprised that most of these convos are barely even about those activities. Shan’s ability to hold space and draw depth from his guests about their life experiences is truely special. Almost Louie Theroux-esque
