White Basement Podcast

The uncensored and frankly disgusting story of how the White Basement became the Brown Basement. Probably best to avoid this one on a full stomach!

Literally the only thing that could tempt Smit to come back on was the prospect of cracking jokes at my expense about the literal shit show that happened in our gym when a waste pipe from our flats burst!

WARNING - foul language and a fouler story awaits...

Mitch Adams from Euroboozer joined the Podcast this week to talk Beers. So if you don't know your Lagers from your Pilsners or your Bitter from your Stout...

Tune in to get some good wholesome Beer Factoids.

Riaz Syed - from Stone Wines joined the podcast this week to demystify the wonderful world of Wine.

He's a Wine buyer, judge, writer, trainer and retailer and his knowledge and passion for the fermented grape juice is vividly evident.

If you don't know the difference between your Extra dry and you Brut, or your Natural Process vs carbonation, if you aren't familiar with Limoux or you need an alternative to the same old Malbec you always choose then you better grab a pencil and pad for this one.

We covered Wine History, different types of Wine, different countries and regions, what to pay, how to drink, bottles, corks, even restaurant etiquette.

So if you want to start drinking wine like a connoisseur rather than a chancer... we got you covered.

On this Episode Beth Foley from Balancing Emotions joined me to talk about Energy and Intention. She describes herself as an Energy 'Director' rather than an Energy Healer and we talked about how she does what she does... and what she does is AMAZING.

We discussed energy and how it relates to us and the world around us, inherited vs ancestral energy blocks and how to clear them. She also cleared some energy blocks from me and rebalanced my energy, organs, glands and aura 'live' on the Podcast!

If you're WooCurious and are ready to open your mind to a whole new way of thinking about health, happiness and the universe you won't want to miss this one.

Rob is Back to drop some more Red Pills! After the fantastic response to Episode 15 - Marvellous Molecules Miraculous Healing, I had to get Rob back in to go further down the alternative healing Rabbit Hole.

If you like a little bit of controversy, a little bit of fringe or a little bit of Tin Foil Hat - it's all here. So Buckle Up Buttercup - 'Cos Kansas... its going bye bye...

I connected with John Hickey via Instagram after watching one of his reels on Fight Sport specific strength and conditioning. Something told me to reach out to him and within a couple of days we recorded this conversation.

John shared the most fantastic story of his journey into Martial Arts; from a drug addicted school dropout on a downwards spiral to a Shaolin Martial Arts student living, training and working in Communist China and then on to Thailand to train and fight Muay Thai before returning to the UK to attain a Sports Science Degree opening a Thai Boxing gym and setting up MMAdojo in Finchley London.

As a life long fan of Martial Arts this conversation was an absolute privilege to be part of, it was like reading a good novel, which is something that I haven't actually done for a long time. John's candor, insight, intellect and story telling ability are incredibly engaging and vividly colourful.

We did also get into to the Science behind the Fight Specific training that he developed and now teaches, how he developed it, why it's so effective and how you can implement it into your own training regime. Forget the Bro Science, John dropped some real Science.

So whether you want to super charge your training or take a technicolored trip to the birth place of Kung Fu... this one is a must listen.
