It might have been the best contest ever. -

YoYo Player is a podcast about the modern history of yoyoing from two of the guys who helped make it. Before the global yoyo boom of the late 90s, two guys in Florida sat in the back of a kite store and dreamed up what would eventually become significant foundational advancements to the art, sport, and promotion of yoyo play.
Almost 30 years later they're looking back on where it all started, poking holes in each other recollections, and laughing their asses off about the whole thing.
Hosted by Mark McBride and Steve Brown.
