The House of Maiden "CHINWAG"

Ed Leigh is one of the most recognisable voices in action sports.

From his early days as a professional snowboarder to becoming a broadcaster, commentator and presenter, Ed has spent decades immersed in the world of snowboarding, skiing and adventure sports.

For nearly 20 years, he's been a presenter on BBC Ski Sunday, while also covering countless Winter Olympics, X Games, NST and major action sports events around the world.

Known for his infectious energy, quick wit and genuine passion for the sports he covers, Ed has helped introduce generations of people to snowboarding, while earning huge respect from athletes and fans alike.

In this episode of Chinwag, Ed and I chat about... honestly, a bit of everything.

So grab a coffee, stick it on in the background, and settle in for an hour or so of proper Chinwagging.

Enjoy.

Episode 4 of CHINWAG is with Todd Ryan.

Todd is a gamer, content creator, and someone who’s built a huge online following through genuinely engaging and funny videos around the gaming world.

Over the last 15 years, Todd has also been serving in the military, while at the same time carving out this awesome path creating content around the things he genuinely loves.

Last year, House of Maiden collaborated with DOOM/Xbox on a capsule jewellery collection around the launch of the game, and through that project I got a proper insight into gaming culture and the community around it all. It honestly blew my mind how huge, passionate, and loyal the gaming world is.

This was one of my earlier interviews and I genuinely really enjoyed this Chinwag with Todd.

If you’re into gaming, content creation, or just hearing people talk passionately about what they do, definitely check this one out.

Peace ✌🏻

My first episode of the House of Maiden Chinwag podcast.

Caught up with Ethan for a quick chinwag while he was out in Japan back in Feb, and what a way to kick things off.

Proper honour to have him as the first guest. Absolute legend. Insane rider, but keeps it all grounded and doesn’t take it too seriously.

We get into DIYX, where the name came from, the chaos behind it, the pendants we’ve made over the years, and a load more. It was so good to catch up with him.

If you’re into snowboarding, this one’s a must.
