This is Ashwin's web page.

welcome

My name is Ashwin* Rodrigues. I am a New York-based writer. *pronounced USH-win. (USH like "hush")

I'm interested in (and have written about) comedy, culture, food, fitness, health, music, science, and technology, among other things.

A smattering of examples: I've tracked down the creator of the synth sound immortalized by the "Grindin'" beat (Wired) argued that wellness should be just a hobby (NYT Opinion) investigated why elite footballers hike their shorts (GQ) and dove into the science behind Zone 2 training (GQ).


My work has been cited in places including The Arizona State Sports and Entertainment Law Journal, Critical Sociology, and The Columbia Science and Technology Law Review.

I've also appeared on podcasts based in exotic places like England (10K Posts) and Canada (CBCNews Front Burner).
Here in the United States, I've appeared on GBH's The Culture Show.
