Oh how interesting! The podcast that usually comes out every single week, regularly, on the same day, seems this week to have been delayed to coincide with our own scrappy grassroots endeavor that we put up more or less whenever we feel like it! How *interesting*, fellas!

Who says it's got to make money in order for skate culture to be vibrant? And what does it mean that skateboarding has to keep reaching outside of itself for help, always struggling to sell our weird hobby to normies? God's a rollerblader, y'all. New episode (for your travels to Tempe)!

It's a debate nearly as old as time: Emile Laurent or Aimu Yamazuki? And hey, while we’re at it, why aren’t we any better yet at talking about women’s skateboarding? Are the ally olympics this year, or next? New episode with Alex, Kristin, Kyle and the Teds. Enjoy! soundcloud.com/ventcity/jas...

Dog and Skull are hella pandering for this year's POTY. New ep with a triptych of topics! The institutionalizing of skating in Bordeaux and Malmö, plaza culture, and that bane of contemporary skateboarding, the ride-on grind. We got Ted B, Ryan Lay, Ted S, and Jokamundo, all vying for your votes...

Not naming names, here, but try to recall that many of you have been in a terrible, abusive relationship with a terrible object (twitter) that's full of antagonisms (ads, racists, Elon) that shaped your approach to posting. No need to land here and seamlessly start replicating those behaviors!

Feeling suddenly real ambivalent about seeing everyone again.

Brands, co-branding, and embarrassing missteps of contemporary skateboard capitalism. All that and some Santa Cruz, for good measure: soundcloud.com/ventcity/bra...

Dylan is easily one of our top-three living Wisconsonites, up there with Max Murphy and the other one we're forgetting.

For anyone who missed the triumphant return of the #ventcitytrickchallenge, it's a pole jam. You know what a pole jam is? You do. You're capable. Find a pole and jam it. soundcloud.com/ventcity/bra...

Maybe a good time to browse the archive? Go on. We're no shyer than the next dog holding a skull and gazing into its lifeless eyes. soundcloud.com/ventcity/tra...
