Skaterade
When two thirty something touchy feely roller skaters get together, what do you get? Skaterade! A podcast where we interview Roller Skaters! Skaterade is here to unpack all the feels of being on eight wheels. Jasmine and Mack dig deep with a new skater every episode to uncover how skating impacts our bodies and minds and how we skaters show up in community with the aim to deepen the connection we have to one another as skaters regardless of skating discipline.
