The Best Skateboarding Podcasts
Podcasts are all the rage. They’re easy to access. They’re informative. And they’re entertaining.
Going for a skate? Listen to a podcast. Long plane trip? Time for a podcast. Sitting in morning traffic? Throw on a podcast. Cleaning the house? You guessed it… cue up your favorite podcast.
These days there’s a podcast for everything but we’re partial to skate podcasts. While there are countless to choose from, these five are our current favorites:

Based out of Los Angeles, California, The Nine Club is hosted by pro skater Chris Roberts and co-hosts Jeron Wilson and Kelly Hart. The bi-weekly podcast features in debt conversations with professional skateboarders, musicians, actors, and artists that all have a passion for skateboarding. Past guests have included Olympian Leticia Bufoni, actor Davis Torgerson, commentator Chris Pastras, pro skater Dave Mayhew, and many more.
Our Pick: Episode 190 with Andy Anderson (YouTube)
Andy Anderson chats about getting into freestyle skating, why he wears a helmet, George Powell putting him on Powell, getting hazed the first time going on tour, how and why he designed his pro board, starting Mind Control Helmets, going to the Olympics, and more.
