  • TrowelCast: College Lane Champions
    Aug 22 2025

    Welcome to another pulse-raising, sweat-slicked, mildly over-competitive and protein-shake-fueled episode of TrowelCast — the official podcast of the legendary Turnell Challenge Cup.


    Today, we ask the big questions:

    🏆 What does it take to be a winner?

    🥇 What does it mean to be a champion?

    📈 And how does one reach the summit of sporting greatness — and stay there, smugly, until someone inevitably knocks them off next challenge?


    This… is TrowelCast.

    And today, we explore what it truly means… to triumph in College Lane Champions.

  • TrowelCast: Swings & Roundabouts
    Aug 15 2025

    In this episode, we turn our attention to a moment long feared, long prophesied, and — frankly — long overdue.


    Yes, after six full challenges, after countless humiliations, and after becoming the most statistically consistent loser in Turnell history — Andrew somehow dodged the hosting role time and time again.


    Until now.

  • TrowelCast: Digging for Victory
    Aug 8 2025

    Welcome to TrowelCast, the official podcast of the Turnell Challenge Cup — the most prestigious sporting event absolutely no one outside of the polytechnic university friend group cares about.


    Today’s episode: Digging for Victory — a deep dive into what separates the champions from the chumps.”


    We’ll revisit those challenges where competitors fought tooth and nail for the trophy…


    …and those where competitors still claim they ‘let someone else win for morale’.

  • TrowelCast: Owen
    Jul 11 2025

    Welcome to TrowelCast — the official, semi-professional, occasionally disputable podcast of the Turnell Challenge Cup. The only competition where friendship is tested, rules are optional, and everyone seems to “coincidentally” win their own event.


    This week, we kick off our exclusive five-part series:

    “Know Thy Competitor” — a deep dive into the minds, methods, and mild manipulations of the champions behind the chaos.


    And who better to start with than the man known as Mr. Nice,

    Mr. Modest,

    Mr. “Oh I just happened to win” —

    Yes, it’s time to meet… Owen Burgess.

  • TrowelCast: Five Wives
    Jul 4 2025

    Today, we shift our gaze away from the main arena — away from the Lycra, the leaderboards, and the suspicious number of laser-based events.


    We tell the story of the unsung heroes… or possibly the long-suffering villains.


    If there’s one thing harder than winning the Turnell Challenge Cup……it’s being married to someone who has.

  • TrowelCast: Fair Game
    Jun 27 2025

    Welcome to Trowelcast, the official, slightly chaotic, deeply competitive, and entirely unnecessary podcast of The Turnell Challenge Cup.


    Today, we dive headfirst into Challenge Number 9.


    Will Andrew defend his crown with quiet menace? Will Pete redeem himself with a challenge of legendary difficulty or incomprehensible rules? And will anyone want to walk through the big smoke holding the new trophy?

  • TrowelCast: Murder on the Avon
    Jun 20 2025

    Welcome to Trowelcast, the official podcast of The Turnell Challenge Cup


    Today, we unearth the secrets of the third Bristol Challenge… or at least, what little we know.


    The task was to be hosted by none other than Owen Burgess — veteran contender, Cup tactician, and, as it turns out, a master of misdirection. Whispers of the challenge spread weeks in advance, but not one detail was confirmed.
