Ringette Part 1 - With Saara Lahti

Tue, 30 May 2023 21:43:01 GMT

When I introduced the podcast I said I wanted to cover multiple sports, including those that are more obscure. One of the sports I had in mind was Ringette.

David Hill Memorial Quaich

Sat, 04 Mar 2023 01:23:40 GMT

It was a privilege to talk to Michael Mawdsley and Rodger Hill, about Rodger's son David who was sadly taken too soon due to undiagnosed heart conditions. He died suddenly, without warning, whilst playing rugby for the Scottish Parliamentary Team against the Irish Dail and Senead XV team, on a sunny day in Dublin on 19th March 2022, at the age of just 30.

His life-long passion was rugby. Murrayfield was his spiritual home and he revelled in both the highs and lows supporting the Scottish Rugby Team.

To honour David's life the annual fixture as part of the Parliamentary Six Nations against the Irish will become the David Hill Memorial Quaich, a trophy which has been very kindly donated by David's family. The first fixture of the Quaich will take place on the 11 March 2023 and is due to take place at Peffermill, on the all-weather pitch.

Listen in to the pod to find out more about David, the team and the game from those who know best.

Cold Water Dips and Edinburgh Blueballs

Not Always Serious Rugby Chat with John Anderson

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 10:23:50 GMT

Had an absolute blast recording this with John Anderson from the Scottish Rugby Podcast. We talked rugby, rugby jerseys, Flinty McStag and much more. We also chatted about who be surprise factors and non factors for Scotland and the pro sides. The original plan was for this to last 30-40 minutes, but once we got going it just flowed. Hope you enjoying listening, as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Non-League Footy with Doon the Park

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 22:40:46 GMT

On this episode I chatted to Stuart McLellan who runs Doon the Park on twitter and Facebook. Stuart covers amateur football (soccer to our North American friends) in the Lothian and Fife area. The effort he puts in is incredible and he is a clearly passionate guy. We chatted about what got him started in football, his previous life as a lawnmower and more. This is the first episode where I have essentially reached out to somebody for content since starting the full pod and I really enjoyed. Massive thanks to Stuart.

If you love football then this is well worth a listen.

Softball: Festiball 2022

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 09:24:23 GMT

On the weekend of 27 - 28 August I travelled to Prestonpans to play a softball tournament with the Leith Walks. In this pod I try and capture some of the weekend and feed back why softball is more loved than you think. There are mini-interviews with some of the Walks and other teams too. The weekend was a blast and whilst I did not capture it all, I am pleased to bring you some of the essence of a great weekend of sport.
