Episode 105 with Natalie Porter, skateboarder and librarian from Owen Sound, Ontario, now living on Canada's west coast.Together we discussed her life and career, from picking up her first board in 1995, connecting with the local skate scenes first in Vancouver then in Montreal where she studied for a few years in the early 2000’s, working as a librarian since 2009, launching “Womxn Skate History” in 2022, an online resource which catalogues and celebrates the visibility of female and non-binary skateboarders throughout history and into contemporary skate culture, her new book “Girl Gangs, Zines and Powerslides: a history of badass women skateboarders” coming out in September 2025 (published by ECW Press) and much more through surprise questions from friends of hers.
