The Total Quidditch. Podcast- Episode 14: Lindsey Simpson

Going coast-to-coast, Partying and Creating new opportunities- Lindsey Simpson

For Episode 14, we sit down with Lindsey Simpson, captain and co-captain of the Lost Boys QC and LA Aftershock. Lindsey tells us about her early days playing and partying at Emerson College in Boston, heading over to the West coast to play in LA for the Lost Boys, switching from beater to chaser  as well as the various projects she's been involved with such as Western Championship Quidditch, Glorious Bitches Galore and Bitches Analysis Corner. 

Following some listener feedback, we've sadly temporarily dropped the theme tune, Shake by Cultures , although we're working on adding it back into our episodes as soon as possible. We're now also including timestamps for the first time in our episodes. This is so that if you want to listen to specific sections of a certain episode, you can easily find them. They will be posted here on these posts on the main blogger site. Hopefully this will improve the listening experience of our followers although of course, we recommend listening to full episodes as much as you can as in our opinion, that's the best way to consume the Total Quidditch. Podcast ;)

Match Analysis: EQC 2019 Quarter Final- Titans Paris vs Antwerp QC

Image
Hello and happy new year! Firstly, apologies for the lack of content, I'm aware it's been a LONG time since I've published an article. The plan is to get back to producing at least one per month but as always, I can't promise anything. So, to get things going in 2020, I thought I'd take a look at one of the biggest matches of 2019 in European quidditch. Rivalries are undeniably what makes sport so compelling and in quidditch they don't come much bigger than the one between Titans Paris and Antwerp QC A. The two sides have faced off against each other on multiple occasions over the past few years not just as themselves but also as France and Belgium respectively with their players making up much of the core of both national teams. With both teams topping their groups after Day 1, sadly they were fated to meet prematurely in the quarter final rather than meeting in the EQC final like they did in 2016 and 2018. Considering the Titans contingent have overall do...

Extinction event: Remembering how Antwerp QC helped shape European quidditch

This week, the quidditch world was rocked by the tragic news of Antwerp QC announcing that they will no longer exist as a club with immediate effect. Guest writer Nick De Leu (Player & Coach for Ghent Gargoyles and player with the Belgian Gryffins- the Belgian national team) reflects on Antwerp's influence on European quidditch at the end of their 7 year existence while also taking into consideration various perspectives on the Dodos' legacy from prominent figures in the European quidditch community.  Extinction event: remembering how Antwerp QC helped shape European quidditch by Nick De Leu Antwerp QC A celebrating winning EQC 2017. 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...
