BACKFENCE Unhinged: Mark Robbins

EPISODE 23: Mark Robbins 

Come  follow a young Mark Robbins who ends up on a wilderness survival trip that promises to return him to the straight and narrow. During his “alone survival” time his sleep is disrupted by an unwelcome visitor. 

Mark is an English teacher and librarian at Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane, WA and story coach of the long-running Pivot storytelling series. Finally, he’s been the face for the Kalispel Tribe’s Northern Casino TV commercials for 15 years. 

BACKFENCE Unhinged is a unique and delightful twist on the storytelling podcast where hosts Andrew and Frayn invite a storyteller on to share an unhinged true story. Then comes the second unhinged part—they dig in and ask questions to get into the behind-the-scenes dirt— finding intersections with some of their own personal anecdotes.

This episode was edited and produced by Julia Oppenheimer. With music created by musician and frontman for Lost Lander, Matt Sheehy. Frayn Masters is executive producer. Frayn Masters & Andrew Dickson are co-hosts and co-creators. The show was recorded at XRAY.fm — find them online or 91.1 or 107.1.
