Ahead of next week's podcast with cliff diver David Colturi, we rewind the clock to a man named Teddy Stauffer.

When Dylan Bowman laces up his shoes to prepare for another 100-mile race, he's not chasing competitors, or split times, but silence. The ultra-runner is one of the bright young lights in the painful, and often dangerous, endurance sport. He tells us what he learned from overtraining, pushing the pain threshold and why his worst attributes serve him well on the trail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
For a sport as odd as ultrarunning, it's somehow fitting that the first man to complete a 100-mile race is Gordy Ainsleigh. In 1974, the Vietnam-war protesting, free-love-having Northern California native decided to enter a horse race without a horse. And because of that, an athletic movement was born. We talked to Gordy about love, untrustworthy friends, and how the two forces conspired to create ultrarunning's grandaddy race, the Western States 100. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for m...
A multi-instrumentalist at a young age, Tom Holkenborg never met a music genre he didn't like. He went from a Dutch new wave band to producer of the international mega-hit "A Little Less Conversation," with which he accomplished two things: getting Elvis Presley's estate to agree to the sample, and putting his name on the global charts. So what did he do next? Moved to Hollywood to start at the bottom as a film composer. Holkenborg stopped by and talked to us about the importance of failing and ...
In this age of Hollywood blockbusters, the star actors and merchandising possibilities often outshine the music. That was the case in 1933 as well, until a child prodigy rescued one of the potential biggest flops of its time - King Kong - with something called a film score. Ahead of next week's chat with musical talent and composer Junkie XL (Mad Max, Deadpool), we dive into the life of Max Steiner, who went on to compose the scores for Gone with the Wind and Casablanca, and ushered in a new era...
A hell-raiser at a young age—when he got into knife fights and raced around in the hotrod scene—Robert Williams grew to become the leader of a rebel art movement. A painter of pornographic, eye-popping illustrations steeped in the counter-culture of the 1960s, Williams was creating work that put anyone who sold it at risk of imprisonment. But his faith that he would find an audience endured. And he did. The southern raconteur spoke about creating Juxtapoz magazine, the high stakes of the art gam...
Ed “Big Daddy” Roth was the most creative builder in the booming hotrod scene of the 1950s and 60s—and the cartoons he drew captivated wannabe bad boys across the country. Things were cruising until he got mixed up with the Hells Angels. In this preview podcast, we delve into the life and legacy of one of the most colorful men in American car culture. Hosted on Acast.

More than a festival or eye-popping art and fashion extravaganza, Afropunk is a cultural movement. For black folks who feel mis-cast as Hip-hop and R&B enthusiasts, for members of the LGBTQ community, and for all those who think differently. Guiding it are founders Jocelyn Cooper and Matthew Morgan, the polished daughter of civil rights fighters and a London hustler of the most worthy order. Hosted on Acast.

Miles Chamley-Watson is unlike any fencer you’ve ever seen. The lean, tatted-up, fast-talking 6’4” athlete is America's best hope for a historic first gold medal in men’s fencing. He reminds us of Dennis Rodman, though he thinks of himself as more of a David Beckham. And with Nike and a number of other sponsors in tow, he’s aiming to be the first fencing athlete to cross into the mainstream. We talked about his sport’s elitist reputation, how a broken relationship both fuels his competitive fire...

The adventurer has since become one of the top skydivers and wingsuit pilots in the world, getting calls to perform stunts in Hollywood blockbusters and competing in new races like the recent Red Bull Aces wingsuit competition.
