Religion presents a singular view of the world and asks you to believe in it. 

Journalism presents many world views and wants you to arrive at the truth independently.

Tom Tilley is someone who's born out of the tension between these two. You might know him as the former longtime host of triple j's 'Hack', a youth journalism program. He's someone who can speak to people from all walks of life, particularly in the regions. 

Tom grew up in Mudgee, raised in a 'hardline' Pentecostal church with his mother and pastor father, alongside his three younger brothers. 

After rebelling against the church in his twenties, he's since lived many lives.  

Tom kept his Pentecostal upbringing very separate from his journalism career, but now he details this in his memoir, Speaking In Tongues.

As a kid from Punchbowl, I wasn’t your typical surfer, but I still became mad obsessed with the sport.

One of my fondest childhood memories was heading to my local news agency to pick up a surf magazine. Surf media has evolved significantly since those days, far beyond those paper magazines.

It was great chatting with the co-founder of Stab Mag Sam McIntosh to dive deeper into the surfing world.

We discussed his family's impactful move from inland to the coast during his youth, his beginnings working at surf magazines, a crucial book project with Taj Burrow that was a career turning point, the origins of Stab Magazine, the craziness that exists in the surf industry, the creative process behind Stab''s projects, our shared love for risk-taking and much more.
