    Master Bakers

    Ryan and Terry are back, and thankfully the lovely Helen Temby is coming along for the ride to keep them in check!  In this episode of Hogan’s, the crew review an action-packed day’s play from the recent UK Masters including the now infamous 20s Sweepstake.  Ryan and Helen then proceed to embarrass Terry again before moving on to discuss James Temby’s unique coaching style! The trio then turn their attention to UK Games Expo where the Crokinole tournament has been rebranded “The Great British Flick Off”.  The episode is rounded off with some chat about this year’s International Crokinole Day and you can hear the latest from Jason Noble’s recent shift down the song mines.

    Would you live on Marzipan Alley?

    In this episode of Hogan’s Alley, Ryan and Terry are back with a packed show that covers everything from The Airecon Crokinole Classic to the Crokinole UK Masters… and one slightly unhinged idea. We start by sharing our takes on Airecon as a whole, the brilliant analogue gaming festival in Harrogate. We then recap the highlights from the UK’s longest running Crokinole tournament, which is now in its 6th year. With the Masters on the horizon, we preview what to expect and how the tournament is shaping up, before casting an eye ahead to a busy summer of Crokinole events. And then… Ryan proposes a new Crokinole variant. Is it innovation? Is it madness? We’ll let you decide. (Be sure to share your variants!)  All that plus the usual banter, questionable tangents, and plenty of flicking good chat.

    Please Look After This Bear, I Mean Board…

    Ryan and Terry are back at the mic, and this time they’re joined by the ever-lovely Mark “The Bear” Paddington. The trio break down all the highlights from the Wales Crokinole Clash, from the insane standard of play, to the exceptional sportsmanship, they cover all the highs and lows and deep dive into the Pool C final!  From there, they look ahead to the upcoming St Albans Open and the always-entertaining UK Doubles Championship. They wrap up by diving into Mark’s newest pride and joy: a custom Tracey board that has to be seen to be “bearlieved”… Apologies for Terry's audio in this episode, it will be fixed for our next record.
