Ep 8 - Building a Women’s Surf Community
Some people learn how to surf, others build a whole community around it. I chat to Nina Nouk, certified surf coach and founder of The Dames Surf Club, a thriving non-profit dedicated to helping women gain confidence in the water. Originally from France, Nina went from teaching on ski slopes to discovering surfing in Raglan. She created a space where women of all levels can grow, and support each other in and out of the ocean. We talk about the spark behind The Dames, the power of women-only surf spaces, the mindset blocks many women surfers face, and the reality of building a grassroots community from scratch. Tune in and find out how Nina makes it work. Sharing real stories of people who’ve found creative, remote, or unconventional ways to build a working life in Raglan. From online businesses to freelance careers, we dive into how people make it work for their lifestyle, income, and commuinity.

The Paleface Parabola - 04-03-2026
Emerging from the winter wayward weather calamity here in the Northeast of the USA slowly, very slowly. Very very slowly. Very, Very, Very... said the Imp. Having the bully pulpit of radio to romp and stomp and roar and to look forward to on a weekly basis makes this Jack Sprat a happy cat. Thus and so, the Big Guy, the Mystery Man, and I wound up in the same place (the Fifth Estate Studio A) at the same time (Wednesdays) to make joyful noises from vast and sundry firm turf. You’re curious. I can tell. So a brief tease (because we love teasing) as to the road forward this week. We start with a crowned King. In this case, royalty being Solomon Burke and his buddy the Mighty Quinn,Louisiana Red soon follows,as does Bill Kelly & the House of Cards, Peter Karp (an incredible song) and the Mystery Man ends the show before tossing the baton to the Retrospect renegades with a beautiful piece of vocal gymnastics by a Finnish ensemble named Tuulestar. Let’s get loud!
