Patrick Eichstaedt has been shooting surfers since his teenage years and had enough foresight and passion for the art of filmmaking and photography to capture his friends, Andy and Bruce Irons, Aaron Cormican, and other east coasters for the early Lost films. His immortal images continue to inform the early days of Andy, and his energetic spirit continues to document the best. Poke’ sauce and more bear his lovable name… Tupat!

As surf stories go, few document them better than Daniel Duane, author, journalist, and now podcaster. He shares some great stories from his early surfing days. But most importantly, he has crafted a podcast that cannot be ignored for us surfers. A series of shark attacks off Reunion Island left the government, surfers, and local community in shambles. Let's get the real story from Dan by listening to his new podcast, Reunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise, now available on The Binge podcast channel.

It's the walk up to the teller with a note asking for bills from the top two drawers, no dye-packs or GPS, that had me hooked. Chas Smith's latest work is a biography of his cousin, Daniel Courson, who robbed over 40 banks in two intense runs, one with a long period on the lam. Back it all up to a celebrity status evangelical childhood, and you've got a page-turner. Tyler Bruer guest hosts with Kevin Miller. Enjoy.
