Most of the skateboarding podcasts out there are so painful to listen to—the hosts know nothing about their guests nor the history of skateboarding. That's why we love Steve and Mitch at Dead Air. Two industry vets that know a lot and are always brutally honest.
This new episode breaks down Chris Joslin and his new shoe sponsorship with Lakai in 2025. Some good questions are raised about Lakai 2.0 and whether or not they are in legit core shops, how much these sponsors are paying a guy like Joslin these days, and more you won't hear on any other pods.
We had a li'l podcast going with these dudes a while back. Tap into Podus Operandiepisodes:
That Singer Tower video does rip. Who might've made a run at Tiago? Could it be something sweet and sugary? Do phillips head bolts always suck? Ah, who to support these days. Are there any shoe companies owned by skaters that get the love they deserve? Just make sure you're supporting your local skate shop!
Stay tuned until the end, that Lakai apparel is wild. "This is why kids don't wear skate gear. This is why they go to the thrift store."
