Welcome to Duct Tape Theory

Welcome, I'm Sunny Fassler, a journalist, writer, surfer and thrill seeker passionate about telling stories. As your host of Duct Tape Theory, I'm making it my mission to uncover the raw heartbeat of action sports, adventure and life at the fringes of our maps.

As I embark, each episode represents a postcard from a place that's left its mark on the adventure and action sports world. But I'm often just a visitor passing through – trading waves, toasting drinks, trading tales with locals and travelers alike. I'm there for the highs and lows, the long nights and fleeting days.

But there's a certain magic, a special quality that only those who call these places home can truly convey. That's why for each episode, I'm joined by four friends, each offering a unique perspective to help paint a vivid picture of their corner of the world. 

Together we're part storytellers, part adventurers— some of us are riders of boards and beasts, climbers of rocks and chasers of air, while others are kings and queens of concrete, and artists of their own fate. We plunge headfirst into the deep end, immersing ourselves in the soul of the places we explore, threading the needle between past and present, all through the lens of action sports and the audacious lives we lead.

You'll get up close and personal with those whose footprints have left indelible marks on the communities and the restless spirits who continue to push against the horizon - an enduring testament to the fact that life at full tilt is the only way to truly feel alive.

This isn't just another show – it's an anthem to the relentless human spirit, a celebration of those who ride to the rhythm of the open road. We promise more than just inspiration; we promise to take you to a world where culture, people, purpose, and the thrill of the unexplored collide.

So join us as we rip away the veneer to expose the essence of a culture that celebrates the appeal of the unexplored, the embrace of an open mind, and the unapologetic spirit of adventure.

Every month, I travel to a new place - be it a tangible destination or an intangible realm of ideas. Along the way, I reconnect with new friends and meet new ones, all in the pursuit of creating a show that blends the immersive power of documentaries with the intimate storytelling of podcasts. 

In the spirit of exploration and the magnetic pull of the extremes, I'm Sunny Fassler, and you are listening to Duct Tape Theory.
