Description
Co-host Tyler Breuer nerds out with Nick (last name withheld), the founder of the Instagram account @surfads, which both honors and "takes the piss" out of the bleach tipped, neon glory of 1980's and '90s magazine advertising. The conversation covers how social media has changed how stoke and rad is sold to us and why the 90s surf culture remains so potent in popular imagination. Music: Hoodoo Gurus "What's My Scene"
