    Ivy Insights

    The WCRP on Skateboarding podcast is hands down my favorite podcast on skateboarding and one of my favorites overall. As someone who doesn't know much about skateboarding, I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting and engaging the conversations were. Clyde and his guests have a smooth and entertaining dynamic that makes you feel like you're just hanging out in a room with friends. The topics covered take me back to the days when my friends and I would roam the streets, causing havoc. It's a great podcast for both skating experts and casual listeners looking for something different.

    One of the best aspects of The WCRP on Skateboarding podcast is the chemistry between Clyde and his guests. Their conversations flow effortlessly, making it incredibly enjoyable to listen to. Whether they're sharing stories or discussing skate-lore mysteries, it feels like you're getting an authentic glimpse into the skateboarding culture. The podcast also offers a unique perspective that you wouldn't find in a magazine or other media outlets, thanks to Clyde's ability to create an atmosphere where guests feel comfortable opening up and sharing their experiences.

    However, despite all its strengths, there are a few aspects of The WCRP on Skateboarding podcast that could be improved upon. While the casual nature of the conversations is refreshing, it can sometimes lead to tangents or ramblings that detract from the main topic at hand. This may not bother everyone but for those looking for a more focused discussion, it can be frustrating at times. Additionally, as someone who doesn't know much about skateboarding, there were moments when references or terminology went over my head. It would be helpful if there were occasional explanations or clarifications for listeners who may not be as familiar with the subject matter.

    In conclusion, The WCRP on Skateboarding podcast is a must-listen for anyone familiar with Clyde from skateboarding or his work with Big Brother magazine. The casual conversations between Clyde and his guests make for an entertaining and informative podcast that delves into the history and culture of skateboarding. While there are some minor drawbacks, such as occasional tangents and terminology that may confuse newcomers, overall it is a stellar podcast that offers a unique perspective on the world of skateboarding.
