Jack Sacks
The Collection is a podcast by Jack Sacks. A collection of candid discussions and anecdotes surrounding surfing culture and health/fitness. It will also include people I just find genuinely interesting, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, its really just about having fun discussions. Inevitably, it will also entail random topics, thoughts and ideas as I try to understand society. Please, if you have a topic /question wanting to be discussed, send me an email [email protected].
