Hey, what's up?

Welcome back to Surf Splendor.

I'm your host, David Scales.

Thrilled to be back.

Last week, I was working to get an episode out to you, which is an interview with William

Finnegan, the author of Barbarian Days, which obviously really well-received book.

We've talked about it a bit on this show.

A lot of you listeners actually have recommended it and were asking for an interview with

William.

And he lives in New York.

Obviously, he's a staff

writer at The New Yorker. But he was out here recently visiting family, and so I was able to link up

with him, and I've got that episode. Wasn't able to get it out last week just because of the holiday.

There's a bit of editing that needed to be done post-production with the episode.

But I will get that out.

It looks like it's going to get to you probably at the end of this month, actually,

because since then, I met with and recorded an episode with Derek Riley and Chas

Smith from Beach Grit.

And we talk about the world title and some pipe you know pipeline related stuff and it just seems

like that's more timely i'd like to get that out to you next week right before the pipe masters event

um and then the finigan thing will go out two weeks after that so that's what you have to look

forward to for the month of december a lot of writers on the show this month. And then, of course,
