The Nine Club: Behind the Scenes on Skateboardings Best Video Podcast
If one good thing has come with the death of all the print magazines it’s the birth of the podcast, video podcast, and diy digital publishing in general. There are some true gems out there right now that aren’t run by any of the big action sports conglomerate. Two of the best are the Toronto boys at The Bunt Live skateboard podcast and the focus of this article, The Nine Club, which stars Chris Roberts and Roger Bagley. Two dudes that know what they are talking about and a thing or two about skateboarding.
Their guests range from every who’s who pro skateboarder to Lil’ Wayne. And no matter the guest they manage to get all the best information from them. JENKEM MAG went behind the scenes to learn if they are getting rich off it, how it started, and more.
Sample:
Would you wanna get support and get a paycheck from a bigger media company as part of that? Like ETN or Transworld?
CR: My motto is, “Always take the meeting.” Always hear what people have to say. Every media outlet in skateboarding approached us when we first started doing it. They wanted to bring us to their channel. We didn’t even entertain that. We said, “Nah, we’re good. We’re just gonna do this by ourselves.” Because guess what, it’s 2017, you can do anything you want on your own nowadays. You literally don’t need anybody’s help. Yeah, if we went to Thrasher, RIDE Channel, Skateboard Mag, Transworld, we could have started off having 20,000 views. To us, it’s like, let’s just build this thing and whoever is interested is gonna come and watch it.
