About this episode

Desiree Astorga interviews Kevin Wilkins, a prominent figure in the skateboarding community, reflecting on his life and legacy after his passing.

August 3, 2016 Kevin Wilkins joined Desiree on the show, when she was broadcasting from WTR Radio. Kevin is incredibly talented writer, innovator, zine maker., skateboarder, husband, father.....a staple in the skateboarding worlds. November 5, I woke to the passing of Kevin after a five year battle with cancer. I should say I and the entire skateboarding community. This show never loaded, quotes from friends included Andy Jenkins, Ed Dominick, Grant Britain and....Thank you Kevin for the gift of working with you, your friendship, support, all the beautiful witty words and all the gifts you shared with us. My heart, prayers and thoughts are with Cheryl, the boys, Paddy and the entire Wilkins Family. Show originally aired live was with NFL Michael Booker. Sound quality not the best at WTR.....so this is raw and unedited.
