Episode 45: Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow/ Whipping Boy/ Author/ Martial Artist)

Episode 45: Jason speaks with acclaimed writer, musician and martial artist Eugene S. Robinson. Listeners will recall his previous appearance on TM pod ep. 38 which explored the enigmatic late 80’s/early 90’s bay area Rollins doppelgänger Mark Sperry. This time Jason focuses on Eugene’s incredible life story: his days as a kid coming of age on the gang dominated streets of Brooklyn, his teen years split between the discotheques and punk clubs of 70’s Manhattan, to his long and legendary career in music that began as a student at Stanford, fronting early 80’s bay area hardcore originals Whipping Boy and evolved into his 30 plus years with globe trotting avant-rock masters Oxbow. As if that thread of his story weren’t enough, through it all he has worked prolifically as a widely published journalist and novelist and has trained in martial arts, from boxing in his youth to his daily practice today in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Oh, and he has a few podcasts of his own! Listen and you'll have to agree: Eugene S. Robinson might just be the world’s most interesting man.
