Bonus Episode! Dan Adams - Read and Destroy Part 2

Read and Destroy bonus episode with Dan Adams! Dan is the man behind the hugely popular Read and Destroy archive project, on Instagram, and now the new Kickstarter project which is running this July. Dan, a supremely talented designer, cut his teeth on RaD magazine back in the day. And for the last half decade or so has been working with the original RaD ensemble - Tim Leighton Boyce and pretty much every photographer on the books - to organise and get on top of the enormous RaD archive. An absolutely Herculean task, and along the way Dan and the guys realised that what they had on their hands was nothing less than a completely unique cultural artefact - a complete, fully-formed and totally encyclopaedic history of UK skateboarding from the late 70s to mid 90s. Hence the Kickstarter: the plan is to turn the lot into two beautiful books that plot the history of UK skate culture through the work of the original documentarians behind perhaps the most innovative and influential UK sideways periodical of the last 30 years. It’s brilliant stuff, so I got Dan on to talk us through the whole project and the Kickstarter.
