Couldn’t be more stoked that our podcast Ripple brought home the award for best original music and sound design at the 2025 Ambie Awards - it’s kinda like the Oscars for podcasts. It’s a huge honor for Western Sound and Dan Leone, host reporter and composer / sound designer for the series! Dan’s not on social media but if you see him give him a huge slap on the back — he’s a genius and really deserves this industry recognition

It took six and a half years, but our first wall of cover art* is officially complete! I gotta salute all the talented producers, writers, reporters, and hosts who poured heart and soul into these shows — alongside all the brave and generous people who shared stories, anecdotes, feelings and ideas. I am so grateful for everything we’ve been able to do and all the people I’ve gotten to work alongside. The podcast boom may no longer be booming but it’s kind of incredible we’ve gotten to do all this … and hopefully for many years and many walls more. What an adventure, right?

(* yes there are shows that didn’t make the cut and the new season of aka the beginning of wall #2 is still at the framer)

The podcast that launched our company - The Sterling Affairs for 30 for 30 - is out now as a limited series on FX / Hulu! (And no, they did not consult us on the cover art.) We have many more of our shows in development for TV and features - it’s a wild process that takes an incredible amount of time. Hope you watch this one and listen back to the pod!

It’s Monday! Time for our cover art reveal! Swipe right ———>

There’s something rotten at the heart of surf culture… and it all starts with Miki Dora and what he did in Malibu.

He was a legendary surfer. To many people, a hero. But he was also a criminal and a conman who led the FBI on a hunt around the globe for nearly a decade. On the NEW season of , coming this June, we’re shining a light on the darkness of his legacy.

Audio trailer's out now wherever you like to listen!
