We recently published an interview with Slam team rider Pat Coghlan, and our Listen In series invites you to hear the conversation our blog post was built upon. Our “Visuals” interview explores some moments that impacted Pat’s creative mind. Find out why Louie Barletta’s part in enjoi’s seminal “Bag of Suck” video is a regularly revisited source of inspiration. Learn why a Nick Jensen flat ground trick on Southbank’s sacred slabs will forever reverberate around his head, and why Mike Arnold’s phone box hopping Grey cover is visual gold dust. Pat’s selection closes by exploring the significance of Blondey McCoy’s first pro board before checking in on his current reality. Listen In for some insights from one of the most interesting skateboarders currently scouring the streets of our capital.

The latest conversation to be added to our Listen In series is with the founder of Parra clothing, Piet “Parra” Janssen. Having recently welcomed Piet’s beautifully curated brand to our rails, we wanted to honour this moment in time by bringing you some insights into the artist behind it and how it came into being. Beyond delving into the story of Piet’s artwork, which is over two decades deep, we wanted to shine a light on the years before that, which he dedicated exclusively to skateboarding. His story is an interesting one, which even involves a notable stamp on UK skateboarding history. Listen in to learn more about a lifer who is seldom interviewed.

The latest addition to our Listen In series is the perfect follow-up to our Mike Carroll episode. We connected with Jacob Rosenberg for a “Visuals” interview, exploring his formative years in the early nineties via some inspiration that wasn’t necessarily the action in front of his own lens. We were drawn to this specific time period thanks to Jacob’s new book “Epicenter,” which focuses on the time he spent at Embarcadero, an experience that stemmed from capturing Mike Carroll for the first two Plan B videos. Jacob’s contributions to skateboarding helped shape its evolution, and we’re pleased to be able to share this conversation with you.
