2020 Recap: EP 070 Long Live Larson

This week, Crude will be revisiting the top 5 most popular episodes of 2020. Number 1 on this list is Long Live Larson, where family and friends share some of their favorite memories of professional snowboarder Chris Larson. In April 2020, Larson took his own life. Without speculating on reasons why he did it, this episode focuses on the life of Larson.   If you didn’t know Larson, then the best way to understand him is that he was someone who came from a loving family, he had loyal friends and he was extremely talented, but he just had a hard time being comfortable. Maybe because he was restless, maybe because he was an old soul, like so many of his friends have said.   Thank you to Mike Dempsey for suggesting the idea for this episode. Thank you to Carrie Hambach for suggesting that Cody dig up an interview he did with Larson back in 2015 and include snippets of it in this episode. And thank you to everyone who told a story for this episode, for being brave enough to record a memory about Larson so close to his passing. Each one is a reminder that life is never just one thing. That it’s made up of all the good and the bad that people do, and together those things create every one of us.
