Season One: The Point Dume Bombers On the night of the Woolsey Fire, no one could have imagined where they’d be today–they couldn't think much past survival. It was life or death. But in the days and years that followed what this unlikely band of surfers pioneered could have global consequences. When emergency first responders were overwhelmed by Los Angeles County’s most destructive fire, these neighbors and friends stepped up to defend their home turf in Point Dume, Malibu. Their devotion to home drove them to show up for their community in ways no one expected-not even them. Sandcastles is a podcast about home, how we create it, and why we fight so hard for it. Hosted by Adriana Cargill. Learn more at wavemakermedia.org
