Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Fistmas!
With Fistmas descending quickly upon us and the soul-suck that was 2020 finally coming to an end, we've decided to release one more podcast episode for the year while the fistive spirit is still alive and well!
With Malcolm otherwise occupied (we assume he was putting together wooden toys on the assembly line while trying to avoid the whip), we've brought back FiFA President Rolf 'The Godfather Christmas' Petersen to team up with the returning Chris 'Santa Mario' Milne, and this time we've even reached out across the ditch and invited our first Kiwi to come onto the podcast - the illustriously young and spritely Liz Meecham!
In this momentarily Christmas-themed episode, Liz, Milne and Rolf discuss and reflect on the growth of New Zealand fistball, Liz's fistball career highlights so far, and detail her unflappable confidence and unwavering passion behind the microphone as she pushes forward her application to lead the IFA commentary team in perpetuity. She then answers some tough yet eerily-specific listener questions, including her toughest leg-wrestling opponent yet, her push for leg-wrestling IOC recognition, and what exactly this leg-wrestling thing is that we keep talking about. We also take some time to reflect on all the great Australian celebrities that New Zealand has helped us to produce over the years.
And as always, some very merry shout outs to those who have been good this year, before signing off the year by spinning the incredibly appropriately-named single ("2020 - Kill It With Fire") released by one of the hottest rising stars in the South African disco-punk-wave movement - Cape Town's own Soul Hoover... which may or may not feature South African Fistball Association President (and brother of The Godfister) - Leif 'Dr. Strangeglove' Petersen shredding on the axe like a modern-day Nile Rodgers.
As always, a huge thank you to Rafael Dobler for the theme music to this podcast series.
Fist on!
