Is The Cut Our Fault?
Paul Evans seems to think so, and he's got a compelling argument to support his point. After covering this week's news with Mikey and Buck, Stace G hops on to give some tips and picks for the first event of the 2024 Challenger Series. Oh yeah, and Kelly's out of retirement (kind of)!

Horribal podcast if I May say. Yoo gies ar kinda stoopid if I may say.
Good Podcast
Big powerful surfing
-linguistically and intellectually intriguing, it brought up many different points about surfing and how the culture evolved in the 80s/90s. Not only did it bring up and develop these points, but it had a credible source and one of the people in this cultural revolution (Nathan fletcher). It may of been better off if the whole podcast was Nathan, I don’t believe the interviewee prior contributed as much as him.
Top Richest surfers
-statistically analytical and generally funny. It brings up the different surfers and which ones are the richest in the world. It then discusses surfing pay roll through the ages and how the payroll has changed as different companies enter and exit the market, such as Nike. The episode I Believe is too long and would have been better off with less fluff, more independence on the listeners train of thought.
Favorite Surfer in the world
-Another statistical episode which brought up much opinion in surfing and how different surfers have different effects on watchers based on their combination of skill and social capacity. This episode I believe was done perfectly, especially with bringing in Lincoln. Lincoln contributed a lot and ran the whole story.
In all the Stab productions podcast was a Very Well-informed podcast with many different ideas and sources. It really helped and helps contribute to my idea of surfing. I know it has this effect for most surfers and listeners out there to date, it is the leading podcast and for good reason. One critique I have on it is that it doesn’t include enough intellectual talk to make some points it attempts to make. Like in the Top richest Surfers, it talked too much about surfer’s social status, rather than just their surf ability in general.
