Sandcastles is a podcast about home, how we create it, and why we fight so hard for it.

In this episode a misfit group of surfers, dubbed The Point Dume Bombers, stepped up to fight the Woolsey Fire in Malibu, California when first responders fell short during one of the worst wildfire seasons in California's history. In the process, they created a new model of community resilience that could be a game changer for millions across the planet.
