The Total Quidditch. Podcast- Episode 3: Teddy Costa


Creativity, Friendship and MLQ- Teddy Costa


For episode three, we take a trip across the Atlantic to talk to Teddy Costa, current chaser for the Boston Forge (formerly the Boston Night Riders) and Boston Pandas. Teddy tells us about his college career at RPI where he met now longtime teammate and friend Mario Nasta and they first started brainstorming different creative ways to play the game. We also discuss Teddy's spell down in Texas with the Houston Cosmos, his experience of playing for the US National Quidditch Team at the 2019 IQA Pan American Games and we take a deep dive into Teddy's career playing in Major League Quidditch (MLQ) with Boston and their famous rivalry with the Austin Outlaws.

Photo Credit- Antwerp Quidditch Club/Bruggeling Quidditch Photography The end of Antwerp QC was a bombshell for European Quidditch. The generation that claimed EQC 2017 and formed the core of a Belgian squad that earned silver at World Cup 2018 is calling it quits, and there are no successors to continue the franchise. But the team will be re...
