Presented by journalist and co-Director of All Conditions Media, Matt Barr, the Looking Sideways podcast seeks to uncover the most interesting stories in action sports and other related endeavours.

In May 2019 Harry and Will from Surf Simply, one of the best surf coaching resorts in the world, caught up with James to talk all things wooden surfboards.

Both Harry and Will have such a great depth of technical knowledge when it comes to surfing and surfboards, so this one digs into how wooden surfboards are made and how they perform in the surf.

As One

This one’s not technically a podcast, but a recording of a talk I gave back in 2017 for As One.

The premise is simple:  twenty slides, lasting approximately twenty seconds each, sharing the backstory of the speaker to uncover what makes them tick.

This one went a little deeper and more personal than other talks I’ve given.

Ethical Pages

Adam Costello is on a mission to seek out every business, organisation and charity which is ethically run and chat to them to find out how it is done to then inspire others to do the same.

We were stoked that he spoke to us at the end of 2020 to talk about what it’s like to run a business that puts the environment first.
