If you eat, breathe, sweat and live snowboarding...
If you’re one of the many utterly addicted snowboarders, skateboarders and surfers in the world, and always want to know the deeper tales behind the characters that make up “the scene”. Enter Matt Barr - a guy who has lived the sideways lifestyle for decades, from grom skater in Manchester UK through editing Whitelines snowboard magazine, multiple industry influence positions and to now as curator of snowboard history and interviewer to the stars. What stands out in these podcasts is the meticulous research Matt does prior to the interviews, and the easy almost chummy delivery that masterfully disguises the work and manifests as a bloody good chat between mates. It’s a tough trick to pull off, especially with people in the genres being interviewed. It’s not just snowboarding though. Matt has such a huge Rolodex (if you remember those) that guests appear from all sideways sports, snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing. No matter the guest and discipline, the podcasts are always delivered with utter professionalism and style. The resulting product is an easy listen, perfect for drive time. As Matt would undoubtedly say “Nice one!” I totally recommend this podcast for anyone addicted to moving sideways.

The Sascha Hamm conversation is one of the best interviews I’ve heard, at times terrifying and awe inspiring. The ease of the conversations brings out the best in all of the interviewees. Essential...Read full review »
