Thu, 18 May 2006 In Episode 0008 we speak with Hurlin' Will Herlan, a boomerang enthusiast from Seattle who has been involved in the sport for 29 years. We talk about what it takes to get into throwing boomerangs, the history behind the 'weapon'/stick, and some neat intricacies like the community, the nuances and the prominence (THERE'S A WORLD CUP!!!). Enjoy the show - put your comments in the show notes - or send us an email - alifeofplay@gmail.com Here is the question list I used for Will's interview. Links provided by Hurlin' Will are down below. What's your name and what's your sport? Where are you from? How did you get into boomeranging - what's the jargon/slang for this? Is it classified as a sport or a pasttime? What events are there? How do you play as a team? What's the history of boomerangs? What's the history of the sport? What's it cost to get involved? Where do you buy equipment? What do people wear? Who plays? How do you find other players (what's the term for that - rangers?) Where is it most popular? What's the future going to bring? What other sports do you play? Where has boomeranging taken you? What else can you tell me?
