12 SEP 2023 · Purchase the Captain Goodvibes' Collectors Edition here: https://tracksmag.com.au/current-issue Get your hands on a collectable tee shirt featuring the cover art created by Tony Edwards here: https://tracks.bandtshirts.com.au/ Our guest for the seventh episode of the Tracks Podcast hosted by Luke Kennedy is Tony Edwards, the creator of the celebrated cartoon strip Captain Goodvibes , often known as the Pig Of Steel. Goodvibes was a well intended but flawed super pig, who loved surfing, drinking and collecting dole cheques. Somehow he still managed to save the world and was wildly entertaining in the process. Brought to life by Tony Edwards brilliant drawing skills and wicked sense of humour. Goodvibes was mostly a lot of fun. But he frequently transported readers into the heart of a 1970s Australian culture that was still ruled by conservative forces and riddled with backward thinking. Although the last regular Goodvibes comic strip ran in 1981, the impact of Goodvibes still echoes through the decades, so much so that one of the most frequent requests we get from Tracks reader is bring back Goodvibes, in a sense we have and he's on the latest cover of Tracks. https://tracksmag.com.au/current-issue In the following discussion, Tony Edwards talks about the forces that shaped Goodvibes, how much trouble he got into with an anthropomorphised pig, and why he ultimately had to hang up his snout. Tony was also the voice of the Captain, and you're in for a treat, as you will hear him adopt the unmistakable sound of surfing's famous Pig Of Steel.

4 APR 2023 · Our guest for the third episode of the Tracks Podcast hosted by Luke Kennedy is Tom Curren. In the early 80s Tom Curren hit the scene as the Californian prodigy with the trademark double-pump bottom and the magnetic style.Between 1985 and 1990 Tom claimed three world titles. The 1990 title was famously won by surfing events all the way through from the trials stage. A record not even Kelly Slater will ever match. After setting a new benchmark for pro surfing, Tom hung up the singlet and influenced surfing from an entirely different perspective. Roaming the globe as part of the Rip Curl Search he carved an indelible path as a free surfer – it was the same Tom Curren but there were new lines, different boards and better waves. Tom helped pave the way for a whole generation to choose the free surfing path. We caught up with Tom while he was in Australia for the 25th anniversary of his cult classic film, searching for Tom Curren.
