Core Lords: Mark 'Poochie' Isaac Sep 04, 2022

Show notes

Mark 'Poochie' Isaac found himself front and centre during the unprecedented flooding that struck the Northern Rivers earlier this year.

After saving lives and livestock on the back of a jet ski during the immediate stages of the catastrophe, he and several other volunteers set up Wardell C.O.R.E (Community Organised Resilience Effort) - a grass roots, workers' cooperative that spent the following weeks and months rebuilding the town of Wardell and the surrounding area.

Their work created a blue print for a brave new future in which unpaid, highly skilled, workers cooperatives build and rebuild communities while circumventing the crippling debt and productivity theft characterised by late-stage capitalism.

Gold Cone Piece Blitzing! With His Holy Frothness Nick Carroll Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

Nobody has reported on more World Title Showdowns than 23-time Gold Cone Piece Award Winner Nick Carroll (of House Frotherian). He was at Waikiki in 1914 when Duke Kahanamoku flogged Tom Blake's much loathed kook-box design on nothing but a piece of driftwood. He was at Manly in 64 when Phyllis O'Donnel and Midget shoved it fair up the seppo blow-ins to record the first "official" global championships. He saw the Wounded Gull steal everyone's chippies for four years straight, watched Layne and then Steph win 7 a piece, he sniffed the blood on the sand at Backdoor at the height of the Slater/AI war of 03, and he even watched his younger bruv, Sir Thomas Victor, throw away the un-losable crown in 88. Yep, he's marinated in every win and loss pro surfing has had to offer and boy oh boy does he have some insights into how this latest chapter of the Rip Woz Finals will play out at Trestles. On your feet Swellians, his Holy Frothness Nick Carroll hath entered thy building!
