Hey Fooser!
Without a doubt, this is an episode of Foosball Radio could never have predicted would be necessary. The current worldwide pandemic has brought our lives to a screeching halt.
With such circumstances, we felt it was imperative for the Foosball Radio team to put together this episode to address the state of foosball going forward.

Rest assured, we will survive this crisis, with more appreciation for our families, friends and foosball. Join us as we stand tall to the meet the coming challenge—as any good foosball player.
Here’s hoping this finds you, your family, and foosball compatriots in good health and spirits.
Needless to say, we will…eventually…see you on the table!
The Foosball Radio Team
Hey Fooser!
Since you have been listening to Foosball Radio, you already know our mission-to the tell the story of foosball, one player at a time.
As luck would have it, a documentary film about Foosball is now in wide release. Just in case you missed it, Foosballers-the movie, has just been released to the general public. When you watch this amazing true story of 6 top foosball pros, you will feel all the emotions-humor, frustration, joy and passion!
Even a non-player will get the arc of this story. Countless hours of hard work resulted in a stunning film, portraying the way foosball really exists. To be sure-this would not have been possible without the cooperation of players like Tony Spredeman, Ryan Moore, Todd Lofredo, Rob Mares, Terry Rue and Cindy Head-all featured in the film. Putting this true foosball story into a top notch film required the dedication of a team of film makers. Leading that team, director Joe Heslinga dug into the private lives of the players, with an eye on the story arc. We can’t escape the conclusion, not only is foosball a family, it’s a way of life.
With great pleasure, we had the chance to chat with Foosballers director Joe Heslinga. Download and listen to our 21st episode of Foosball Radio, you will not be disappointed.

Hey Fooser!
Here’s hoping this finds you ready to face the final days of 2019. With the Holiday season driving you crazy, it’s probably a good time to distract yourself with a Special Holiday edition of Foosball Radio.
I’m sure you probably know of the Bart O’Hearn Memorial Foosball Tournament in Austin, Texas. Maybe you even make it a ‘must play’ event every year. Nineteen years of the Bart O, with the 20th annual coming up in July of 2020.
Sadly, the heart and soul behind the Bart O, Joe Koonce, passed away in November of this year. Joe made the Bart O what it is, ironically, the worlds only foosball tournament devoted to recognizing fallen foosball players. We share our sincerest sympathies with Joe’s family, relatives and foosball family.
Ben Kempner is the new Tournament Director and is working hard to meet the challenges of running the Bart O.
Now, it’s time for us to band together to help support this special annual foosball event. We chatted with one of Joe Koonce’s longtime friends and partners in the Bart O-Cissi Whipple. Download and listen to this special Holiday edition of Foosball Radio, as we discuss everything from the Bart O’Hearn Tournament to how you can donate to help.
Here is a link you can follow to donate through Go Fund Me and help keep the Bart O’Hearn alive for years to come.
