Episode 261 Jethro Binns - Jonathon Power Documentary

In squash - The Podcast

When Jonathon Power made his mark on the pro tour by winning the 1996 Tournament of Champions, the years that followed were unlike anything professional squash had witnessed prior. JP emerged as a real breath of fresh air; a braggadocios brand of squash, appealing both in terms of the squash itself and the theater that JP brought with it. Jethro Binns and the fellas at Squash Skills capture all of this in their 3 Part Jonathon Power documentary, a documentary which was long overdue. Jethro and I take a JP deep dive talking about the JPs early years which are the focus of Part 1 right up to the 1996 TOC. We also look ahead to part 2: the JP /Peter Nicol rivalry. Jethro also gives his thoughts on the Mostafa Asal ban at the end of the episode. Great chat with Jethro and also many thanks to www.opensquash.org for sponsoring the pod.
