Episode 128: Lauren Hill - Story Is A Choice

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2020/07/02

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comIt’s easy to forget, but all stories are editorial choices. And those choices have a big influence on the way we collectively perceive our shared culture and history. It’s why the standard narratives around our shared history tend to default to the same names and anecdotes. And it’s why She Surf, the new overview of modern female surfing and surf history by Lauren Hill, is such a much-needed breath of fresh air. Throughout her career as a

In this way, this chat is just an extension of the type of freewheeling, no-stone-unturned conversation I always

Episode 126: Phil Young - On Allyship

2020/06/16

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comLet’s be honest - the Looking Sideways podcast is a pretty white and none-diverse space, reflecting as it does the action sports and outdoor community as a whole. I think this is why my first episode with Phil Young, broadcast back in November 2019, struck such a chord with listeners and very quickly went on to become one of my most popular episodes ever. The fact is it is still rare for BAME people to be given a voice or a platform in our

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comJeff Johnson is probably best known for his film 180 South, a film which saw him travel to Patagonia with Yvon Chouniard and Doug Tompkins in homage to the original 1960s odyssey that is such a defining part of Patagonia story. It’s on YouTube, and I highly recommend checking it out. But there’s much more to Jeff’s career than this admittedly epic highpoint.

Lockdown Surf Film Festival bonus episode with Gabriel Novis! Yep, in April 2020 Chris and Demi, my friends behind the Lockdown Surf Film Festival, asked me to interview Gabriel about his film Sorria, which was showing as part of the festival. Sorria is a few years old now and is, as Gabriel explained during our conversation, an attempt to show another side of Brazilian surf culture and performance surfing than the one we’re so often used to seeing portrayed in the majority of surf media.
