- #6 Violins, India, Guns and Weed
On this Episode I'm joined by Will Aleyne - one of my old school friends, musical maestro and a man who has definitely escaped the rat race in more ways than one.
We talk about home schooling kids, living in India, Dawn raids in Sri Lanka, meeting Howard Marks in Swiss a grow house and the state of the world in general.
It's a chill one. So put your feet up, crack a beer or spark a herbal cigarillo and press play.

2 hr 1 min - #4 Skateboarding in Palestine - Yusuf Goolam Hossen
This episode was a debrief with my friend and training partner Yusuf Goolam-Hossen.
Fresh back home and still buzzing, or maybe reeling, from his recent trip to Palestine with Skatepal, a charity set up in 2006 by English Teacher and Skateboarder - Charlie Davis.
Starting in Jerusalem, visiting the Al-Aqsa Mosque before crossing into Palestine to hit the skate park and meet the kids who use it to escape their daily troubles. Yusuf discusses his first hand experience of the reality of life and death in Palestine as well as a brief BJJ class and a bit of foodie stuff that will make your stomach rumble. Finally we get into his random stranger taxi journey into Jordan to see magnificent Petra and get lost in the desert...
Join us on a meandering middle eastern adventure in this latest episode.

About White Basement Podcast
From the publisher's feed
The White Basement Podcast was born from a collaboration between a couple of forty something friends who had to move our Brazilian JiuJitsu practice into a private garage gym, in order to continue training and chatting, during the lockdown. The gym became affectionately known as 'The White Basement' and the regular training we undertook kept us fit, active, healthy and sane!
Now that the world is back to to the New normal, we decided to start the podcast as a way to share our conversations, philosophies and experiences, both on and off the JiuJitsu Mats with anyone and everyone who wants to listen.
So many people seem to be increasingly isolated in this modern world. Real connections are harder to make, cancel culture is out of control and physical contact is being systematically destroyed by the relentless march of virtualising everything.
Well not here! Not on the White Basement mat and Not on the White Basement Podcast!
Real talk with real guests in a real studio is what we're bringing. Our intention is for the podcast to be a companion to anyone who needs it, and a bit of positivity, motivation and humour for everyone who listens.
We'll bring in a diverse range of guests, and each episode we'll aim to explore aspects of health, fitness, human performance, mental and emotional wellness, philosophy, travel stories, trips down memory lane, Conspiracy theories and some controversial left-field guests and topics as well. Hopefully, together, somewhere along the way, we'll all be able to trace a slightly better path through this strange and wonderful thing called life.
We're all getting older, hopefully getting wiser, probably getting balder, or hairier, but we're still trying to strangle people unconscious on the mats. Metaphorically speaking or not...
So come along for the ride and keep us company, and we'll do the same for you.
