Rad Matters hosted by Mike Ranquet
The Rad Matters podcast is the direct result of the snowboard industry being so far off track for the last 20 years that I had to start a podcast. Oftentimes a viable solution is masked by my bombastic reactions to the selfish nature of the snowboarding community/industry. The snowboarding community/industry oughtI to be burned to the ground but until then I’ll sniff out the weak-links like a God damn truffle pig. I’ve no bones to pick with anyone nor do I have skin in the game at this point.

Jobs
RM020Jobs 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 competi...
