Rad Matters hosted by Mike RanquetThe Darkest WhiteThis episode of Rad Matters Podcast is an impromptu book review of The Darkest White by @ericblehm (it’s about Craig Kelly btw) and also includes why I think airplanes are great bars and how they double as time machines. Go buy the book, it’s a way better interpretation of snowboardings history than anything so far.Support the showThanks for enduring Rad Matters Podcast Hosted by Mike Ranquet.

The Powell MovementAndy Hetzel, Legendary Snowboarder Andy Hetzel is the Rick Kane of snowboarding. Hailing from Arizona, Andy’s first love was skateboarding, then punk rock. This eventually led to Andy finding snowboarding and moving his life to Breckenridge. He competed early and often and achieved pro status, but Hetzel won’t be remembered for contests, well maybe as the reigning World Mogul Champion. But, outside of that bump title, Andy and the skate-influenced crew he rode with, you know, the Palmer and Ranquet types, helped create the derelict culture of the sport when it wasn’t considered a sport, it was a lifestyle. It’s a fun...2024-02-191h 19

FNRad Snowboarding PodcastFNRad Bud Fawcett Interview - Season 8 Episode 17Send us a textBud Fawcett was among a handful of snowboard photographers whose images in early magazines made you look to see who took them.

His story begins with a road trip and we were on a road trip when we stayed with him at his home 40 years later... This is one of those life...2023-02-221h 22
Rad Matters hosted by Mike RanquetJobsRM020Jobs Does the snowboard industry hire from within it’s own pool of pro snowboarders? It’d be a lot cooler if it did. Be it 2yrs, 5, 10 or 25 years as a pro snowboarder either way it’ll get you nowhere. Whether a dude was filming or competing, whatever brand was paying for that is losing out on their investment by not hiring/utilizing the dudes they’ve invested in. It’s like training a pilot for years only to hire someone w/out his ‘training’ because they look better on paper. One would think that riding as a professional s...2022-12-231h 03

Rad Matters hosted by Mike RanquetTed Martin Talks FISISFTQ+RM018TedMartinTalksFISISFTQ+ So this conversation happened seven years ago I think, Ted Was on Maui visiting family, so I contacted him on Facebook or whatever.

I guess I’m covering 2 or 3 different people and their situation‘s, they seem to roll into one in my head because it’s all the same BS. Snowboarding has damn near been taken over by Un-vetted industry dudes that don’t give a shit about snowboarding. Snowboardings future needs big thinkers willing to go to the mat for our beloved sport. .
