Due to overwhelming public demand, Chris Truswell is back! Recored early on in lockdown but more relevant than ever, all part of The Masterplan! We talk about the trip known as 'the tour that never happened' - not due to lockdown, but due to no ranking points being earned. There are some tips for young pros - learned the hard way. We discuss fads & our local clubs - Sutton Squash Club & Edgbaston Priory
Cape Town by way of Castleford! Great to hear from Shaun, a very talented all round ball striker! The first + handicap golfer on the podcast, which confuses me! Kudos! A very popular guy on tour and sometimes misunderstood by the officials! Always entertaining and great to hear him reflect so fondly on what squash has given to him.
Great catch up with the second most notorious Pablo. 2020 has seen him take his golfing equipment to new levels. Dedicated to a strict 'buy it & the swing will come' development policy. Always fun to hear Pablo's side of the story, he takes us through the fall and rise of his rivalry with Chris Truswell & meeting a 90s sprint legend he'd named his cat after.
Wycliffe College Director and all round top bloke, Jonny Harford joins to talk twinning, winning and Torricini's nan. A man of many nicknames, Jon Barford, Mr Consistent, Daddy H....now sporting his new head shave.
We track down the enigma, Joel Hinds, to hear what he's up to these days. A wide range of topics, from how to fill downtime to training methods, european politics and Burrito-gate!
Chris Tasker a man of many nicknames. The Galvanizer of Midlands squash, Andriy Shevchenko in his North West league playing days, the Squash Scarecrow due to his log days at work and Angles Grindley on the snooker table. He talks junior development, single malt, tips on how and how not to rehab. We also reminisce on a calamitous trip to Ibiza. Farcical!

Fantastic to have The Professor on the show. As expected, he touches on a great range of topics, from time wasting tips to fitness fads to a belter of a heavyweight boxing story! If I had to compare Chris to a 90s footballer (which I will because I love that sort of thing), he's the Teddy Sheringham. Classy, uses his head for that first yard and was next to me while I was in a dentist's chair. Arrivederci it's 1 on 1!
Canadian international Mike McCue drops in (several times) for a chat. He provides great insights into some of North America's top players, past and present. Eloquence is his forte. Single-handedly dragging the podcast up a notch with a high brow finale.
A cracking catch up with squash dude and tour buddy Peter Creed. Plenty of insight into Creedy's awesome personality and squash journey. Incidentally, he's the fella who took the Squash Toursit profile picture as we made our way across the US/CANADIAN border in 2012. Who knew it would now be used on a podcast?! A few connection issues towards the end of the conversation which is a shame. Some comical timing, as I cut him off in all his profound glory, and he disappears.
