The Wodcast Podcast

Kyle Thiermann, born 1990, is known as “The Renaissance Surfer.” As a conduit between athletes and intellectuals he surfs professionally for Patagonia, works as a documentary correspondent, hosts a weekly podcast and is a freelance writer. In 2018 Thiermann co-created The Motherfucker Awards, a comedy awards show that aims to create corporate accountability through comedy. At a sold-out gala in LA, famous comedians represented the corporations that did the most to fuck Mother Earth and gave acceptance speeches on their behalf. From ages 18-25 Thiermann created and hosted the YouTube series Surfing For Change. While traveling to the best waves around the world, he created gonzo-style mini-documentaries about current environmental issues happening in the regions. From 25-27 he worked as a correspondent for Discovery Digital Networks covering issues ranging from a little-known indigenous conflict in Chile, to the impact wild pigs have on coral reefs in Hawaii.
