 In  this episode, Fraser is joined by former teammate Alex Carpenter, current teammate Andrew Hull and Belgium's Pauline Raes to discuss some big recent quidditch news. In December, Major League Quidditch and US Quidditch stated their intentions to start the process of creating a new name for the sport, an announcement that has been picked up by media across the world and shaken the quidditch community with the magnitude of this big decision in the sport's history.
