White Basement Podcast - podcast cover

White Basement Podcast

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. You can follow us on Insta @whitebasementpod and @jasonwhitebasement New Episodes dropping weekly
