The Dubcast With Dubside
The Dubcast with Dubside is a unique and immersive podcast that dives deep into the world of traditional kayaking, Greenlandic culture, and the captivating stories that emerge from the icy edges of the Arctic. Hosted by the legendary kayak instructor, performer, and cultural explorer Dubside, each episode blends insightful conversations, first-hand field recordings, and rich storytelling from Greenland and beyond.
Whether he’s interviewing master kayak builders, uncovering lost paddling techniques, or singing with locals around a drum circle in South Greenland, Dubside brings his signature mix of curiosity, wit, and deep respect for tradition. With co-host Andrew Elizaga, The Dubcast is a one-of-a-kind journey into a vanishing world of indigenous skill, Arctic adventure, and cultural resilience—told through the voice of someone who’s truly lived it.
Come for the kayaks. Stay for the stories.
