  • TPM Episode 442: Lee Cohen, Legendary Photographer
    Jul 21 2025

    Lee Cohen may be the most dirtbag ski bum I’ve had on the podcast, and that's an honor, but that was back in his early 20’s. Eventually, Lee moved west from New York, picked up a camera and became the authority on what powder skiing photos should look like. Along the way, he followed the dead, had a pro skier kid, and shot some of the best photos that Utah skiing has to offer. It’s a business episode with one of those early creatives, who maybe weren’t all business, but still crushed it. Lee’s kid, Sammo Cohen asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • TPM Episode 441: Bas van Steenbergen, Pro Biker
    Jul 14 2025

    Bas van Steenbergen has been a dual threat on his mountain bike for over a decade. Part racer and part freerider, Bas has the rare ability to compete at the highest level in both disciplines. While that’s cool, his story is even better. Growing up overseas with his equally as rad little brother Tom, Bas, raced BMX until he moved to Canada and bought a mountain bike. And while he got on a big bike later than most, that didn’t stop him and the rest is history. On the podcast, we talk about the status of the bike industry, sponsorship, Downhill, Rampage, content and more. Little brother Tom van Steenbergen asks the Inappropriate Questions.

    Bas Van Steenbergen Show Notes:

    4:00: Snowboarding, the bike industry, carnage after the pandemic, sponsors, bike compoundnds, movies, his crazy upbringing, biking in EU,
