Surfrider Foundation: February Podcasts

(One of my favorite community activist podcast sites--essential listening! Here are the episodes since the last time posted on the Surfrider Foundation.)

February 29, 2008
Mark Babski in San Clemente in Southern California.

Few people reflect the Surfrider brand with as much accuracy as Mark Babski: global citizen yet locally integrated, highly educated yet accessible and down to earth, politically astute yet environmentally conscious, a listener and yet the first person to act. Mark has been around Surfrider for the last 15 years. He has seen a lot here and held a lot of it together over the years. I sat down with Mark on a blustery February day on a San Clemente beach. Listen in.

Scott Werney and Marvin Heskett from the Surfrider Foundation Oahu Chapter, recorded at Point Panic.

Any time you land in Hawai'i it feels special. From the lava fields of the big island to the insane Napali Coast of Kaua'i... to the ledging waves on Oahu's North Shore. I caught up with Scott Werny and Marvin Heskett from Surfrider's O'ahu chapter and heard an update on what is happening on the "Gathering Place", the third largest Hawaiian Island. We sat at Point Panic, watched the sun set and talked story.

Ericka D’Avanzo, Surfrider’s Florida Regional Manager, in a rental car powering north somewhere on I-95 in Florida.

Few people have accomplished in their lives what Ericka has in the two years she’s been in Florida. To the wonderful and growing web of Floridian activists, Ericka is their glue, their mentor and their champion. Listen up; this is the sound of activism... redlining.
