Episode #2: 'Big Wave'

The Who in the World w/ Norm Schriever Podcast #2: 'Big Wave'

Today, I interview an old friend I call 'Big Wave' for his love of surfing, leading him to live as an expat in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and more. Big Wave and I used to live in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua at the same time, and we often trained at the boxing gym there, coming to a crescendo when he knocked me the f*ck out on my last day in town! 

A motorcycle enthusiast, Fight Night organizer, and former dabbler in "alternative economies," Big Wave is also surprisingly thoughtful and analytical, living by an admirable personal code as he navigates life in frontier-like, lawless Latin America. 

Ten years later, I happen to be living in the same little surf town as Big Wave again, this time in Costa Rica. In this podcast, I sit down at a beachside bar with my old friend, catching up about life as an expat, some of the notable stories throughout the years, and much more.

Please excuse my liberal use of profanity in this recording (which adds color to the podcast in my opinion) and my unprofessional chewing on a cheeseburger as we spoke (I was damn hungry).


​Enjoy this podcast with Big Wave and thanks for subscribing!

The Who in the World w/ Norm Schriever Podcast #1: Judd Reid

In this very first episode of The Who in the World podcast, I interview Judd Reid, the Australian karate living legend.

​We talk about his 1,000 days training in Japan, winning the heavyweight championship, and, finally, completing the 100-man kumite, or fight. 


Judd is also the author of The Young Lions, which documents all of this as well as his training under Sosai Mas Oyama. 

Find out more about Judd, his training, and his uchi dish (live-in student) camp at www.ThailandKarateCamps.com.

​Enjoy and thanks for subscribing and following this podcast!

-Your friend,
