Huck launch 'Joining the Dots' the Podcast

Joining the Dots is a new Huck podcast. Each week DJ, filmmaker and subcultural superstar Don Letts sits down with a new guest to discuss their life and work.

Recorded in Don Letts’ creative bunker at the bottom of his West London garden, Joining the Dots traces the way artists, athletes, activists, and subcultures have interacted across decades and continents without even realising.

Across the course of this first season, Don will sit down to talk with guests as diverse as photographer Guy Martin, writer and journalist Hattie Collins, big wave surfer Andrew Cotton, and emerging musician Georgia.

Episode One: Legendary skateboarder and artist Ed Templeton.

In this first episode, Don meets Ed Templeton, a like-minded rebel. When it comes to the significance of their radical impact, neither require any kind of introduction. Letts, a subcultural standard-bearer for the past 40 years, with a slice of everything interesting, from punk to funk, reggae to soul; Templeton, an artist, photographer and skate icon.

Sit back as the pair recall a life of unadulterated rebellion, discover how the London punk scene of the 1970s and 80s that Don helped shape would have an incredible impact on the skate and punk scenes of Southern California that Ed would become synonymous with.

Along the way, they talk selling weed to Bob Marley, becoming fast friends with Fugazi, and how Ed has gone from a scrawny skater kid to a hugely respected artist and businessman as the founder of Toy Machine.
