Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

In today’s episode, we talk about something rarely acknowledged in surf culture—surfing with anxiety.

Ever heard a surfer say, “Stay in the pocket,” and wondered if they meant their board shorts? In today’s episode, we unpack what “the pocket” means in surfing, where the phrase may have come from, and why it’s one of the most important—and misunderstood—concepts for beginner surfers. It’s not just a spot on the wave; it’s the key to speed, flow, and riding with the wave’s energy instead of fighting it.…
Curious how big wave surfing began? Or what even counts as a "big" wave? In this episode, we dive (not literally) into the origins of big wave riding—from ancient Hawai‘i to the pioneers of the 1930s, to Laird Hamilton’s tow-in era at Jaws. Learn why competitions like The Eddie only run under mythical conditions, how Mavericks became a proving ground, and why big wave riding is as much about obsession as it is about bravery.

In this episode, we meet 25-year-old filmmaker and Arctic surfer Freia, whose unlikely surf journey started on a family vacation in Japan and eventually led her to the freezing lineups of Reykjavík.

In this episode, we break down the real costs of learning to surf and what it takes to keep it affordable without losing the stoke. Whether you’re a coastal local or a van-life dreamer, we’ll help you navigate the surf economy, separate the must-haves from the nice-to-haves, and get you riding waves without going broke.

Sayulita, Mexico is more than just a surf town—it’s a beginner surfer’s dream with a side of tacos and mezcal.

I don’t usually follow pro surf comps, but I am a nerd for how things work. So in this episode, we’re cracking open the World Surf League—where it came from, how it runs, and what’s changing in 2026. We rewind to the early days of the IPS and ASP, when pro surfing was still run by surfers (and judged without livestreams or jerseys). Then we fast-forward to the media-powered WSL era, equal prize money, reality TV, and this year’s revamped Championship Tour format. What’s with the heat structure? How do the judges decide a score? Why are jerseys red or yellow? And why is Pipeline now the highest-stakes event on Tour? It’s WSL 101—minus the corporate PR, with a few tangents about logos, point gaps, and $40,550 for 5th place. Let’s go.…
Big wave surfer. Lifeguard. Beachboy. Cultural icon. Clyde Aikau was all of these—and more. In this episode, we reflect on the life and legacy of the legendary Hawaiian waterman who passed away this week. From growing up in Pauoa Valley to winning the Duke Invitational and riding giant waves at Waimea Bay, Clyde’s story is woven deeply into the fabric of modern Hawaiian surfing.

In today’s episode, Di recounts an unforgettable surf at Popoyo’s infamous break “Dairy Queen”—where confidence is tested, calm is hard-earned, and Big Girl Panties must be summoned again and again. It’s a story about fear, resilience, and remembering that sometimes… you really do have to get crushed to crush it.…
What do you get when you mix Olympic-level surf obsession, the birth of Venice’s Zephyr team, and decades spent documenting wave riding’s wild history? Matt Warshaw, obviously. In this episode, I chat with a personal hero of mine—Matt Warshaw, author of The Encyclopedia of Surfing and History of Surfing —about growing up alongside Jay Adams, why he’s a reluctant podcast guest, and why surfing was never really fun for him, but always addictive, strategic, and soul-consuming. We also get into the overlooked role women played in board design, the radical act of smiling in the lineup, and how EOS came together on a prayer and a pile of favors. Plus, the moment Matt decided to quit surfing altogether.…

Plus: bonus tips for wetsuits, wave size, and what “bikini-forward waters” even means.…
When you think "surfer," you might picture someone lean, tanned, and impossibly graceful. But out in the real world—and the real lineup—surfers come in every shape, size, and age.

From wetsuit struggles to surf school shortcomings to quiet confidence-building wins, this one’s a love letter to every surfer who’s ever asked: Can I really do this in the body I’m in? (Spoiler: Yes. You can.)…
In this episode, we dive into the frothy, photo-filtered world of surf influencers—aka surfluencers. Why does the surf community have such a love-hate relationship with them? From beginner surfers scoring brand deals to perfectly curated “ripping” content that doesn’t quite match the reality, we explore the outrage, the eye-rolls, and the economics behind it all. Whether you love them, loathe them, or are one of them, this one’s for you.…
Mavericks. Cold water, monster waves, and a history as wild as the surf itself. In this episode, we head to Half Moon Bay, California, to talk about one of the world’s most infamous big wave breaks—from its discovery by Jeff Clark, who surfed it solo for 15 years, to that time I (awkwardly) reminded Gerard Butler he almost died there. We unpack the legends, the wave mechanics, the cinematic flops ( Chasing Mavericks , I’m looking at you), and the near-mythical 108-foot ride of Alessandro "Alo" Slebir. Mavericks is cold, dangerous, and undeniably iconic—and somehow, still not the wave every surfer dreams of. Until now.…

Of surf trips gone sideways, winter sessions in freezing water, and finding the kind of surf buddy who quietly changes your life. It’s not about standing up on the board.

In this episode of The Wipeout Weekly , Zuz chats with TV writer and lifelong surfer Noah Evslin about what it means to write Hawai‘i from Hawai‘i.

The internet is at it again—this time, questioning whether avoiding your knees during a pop-up is actually good advice. In this episode, we explore the pros, cons, and real-life chaos of the “knees-first” method. Is it a helpful progression tool or just a shortcut to bad habits?
