Detroit StoriesJaymo's Second ChanceHow a once-juvenile lifer found redemption by finding the good in himself, with the help of a Catholic deacon(0:00) We meet James Thomas, a.k.a. “Jaymo,” who shares a memory of his younger life. He was 15, entering the juvenile justice system, and a psychologist at his trial — whom he’d only met briefly — described him for the court.

The Powell MovementJosh Dirksen, Pro SnowboarderJosh Dirksen has arguably the best turn in snowboarding and while that turn will define his legacy, he's done so much more in the sport. Josh doesn't do that many interviews and has never done a podcast before, until now. On the show, we talk about having 3 passports, coming up in Oregon, the Morrow glory days, Salomon, the Dirksen Derby, and more. It's a good one with a living legend. Josh Dirksen Show Notes: 4:00: Quarantine, worry, and his current job as a lifeguard in Switzerland 10:00: Swimming, skateboarding, cross-country skiing and building endurance as a kid

The Powell MovementCarson Storch: Pro Mountain BikerAt first look, there is nothing that stands out about Carson Storch. He looks like an All-American kid fresh out of college figuring out what he is going to do with his life.

He's a pro Mountain Biker who finds himself at home on big mountains or riding slopestyle. He's known for having a unique style that can be seen whenever he rides his bike. Hear all about Carson, the Redbull Rampage and more...
