The Nine Club
The definitive talk show for skateboarding, where pro skaters and industry legends share career histories and debate the culture's current events.
The Nine Club operates on a dual format. Its flagship Monday episodes are deep-dive, conversational interviews with legendary and contemporary skateboarders, exploring their entire careers. On Thursdays, the "Channel Nine" live show adopts a retro news broadcast aesthetic to discuss current events, review new video parts, and host shorter segments like "The Retail Report," which features interviews with skate shop owners from around the world.
“Its dual-format of historical deep dives and a current-events news show makes it a comprehensive hub for skate culture. The recurring "Retail Report" segment offers a unique ground-level view of the industry's health and trends, direct from shop owners.”

What you'll be asked on this show
As the lead host, Chris Roberts acts as a knowledgeable facilitator, using his own pro career to build immediate rapport. He lets guests tell long, uninterrupted stories, often prompting them with clarifying questions to add historical context or specific detail for the audience (e.g., "What were the big five?"). The co-hosts (Kelly Hart, Jeron Wilson, Roger Bagley) chime in with their own questions and anecdotes, reinforcing the show's casual, peer-to-peer conversational feel. The interviews are not confrontational; the stated goal is to make the guest look as good as possible and preserve their story.
The show is built on a relaxed, multi-host conversational dynamic, akin to friends talking in a living room. The main interviews are long-form and story-driven, while the "Channel Nine" shows are faster-paced, more segmented, and incorporate audience interaction from a live chat.
