    4.25 Two Shits

    Episode Summary

    Two Shits discovered Grenada Hash after sailing into the Caribbean and repeatedly hearing that it was a must-do island experience. He found the Facebook group, organized transport for fellow yachties, and was soon hooked—haring trails and receiving his name within two and a half months.

    He explains why Grenada’s weekly hashes can feel like major weekend events: large mixed crowds, microphones, food vendors, dramatic shiggy, strong local participation, and an easy bridge between residents, visitors, and the cruising community. The conversation covers trail design, down-downs, safety, red-dress runs, InterCarib Hash, hurricanes, seasonal travel, and the friendships that persuaded him to remain on the island. It doubles as an enthusiastic, practical introduction for visiting hashers.

    4.24 Scuba Deuce Part 2

    Episode Summary

    Scuba Deuce recaps a hashing life that began during a deployment in Sigonella, Italy, and became regular in Southern Maryland around 2015. The main story is his decision to help host U.S. Nash Hash at a campground after a successful smaller event suggested the venue could scale, aided by playbooks and advice from previous organizers.

    He gives an unusually practical account of registration swings, cancellations, food and beer forecasting, storms, volunteer staffing, data, and the manageable crises of a mid-sized event. The discussion also looks ahead to future Nash Hash and America Interhash plans, then detours into campouts and the gloriously questionable Malört Mile. It is an honest organizer’s view of what keeps a national gathering alive when no obvious host steps forward.

    4.23 Orful Fuk

    Episode Summary

    Orful Fuk was introduced to hashing by Singapore friends in Christchurch around 2009–10 and later became deeply involved in Bali’s many clubs. A formative Borobudur Interhash hooked him on large events, while his organizational instincts drew him into accommodation, registration, communications, and the behind-the-scenes information networks that keep international hashing connected.

    He offers frank views on event pricing, red-dress charity, governance, intellectual ownership, club data, and the Interhash Council, including his involvement with the successful 2026 Indonesia bid. Illness had recently kept him off trail, but not away from planning or advocacy. The episode reveals the less visible labor behind global events—and an organizer determined that Interhash serve ordinary hashers as well as ambitious hosts.

  • 4.22 The Vicar

    4.22 The Vicar

    Episode Summary

    The Vicar started hashing in 1983 with Riyadh’s clandestine Solomon Air Hash, where desert trails and carefully concealed homebrew offered release within Saudi Arabia’s restrictions. He recalls the club’s founders, early names and songs, the precautions surrounding alcohol, and the distinctive camaraderie created by expatriate life.

    After settling in Norway, he became part of Oslo and the wider Scandinavian hashing community, helping develop InterScandi gatherings, musical circles, local winter traditions, and regular international travel. The episode spans four decades of clubs and events—from Damascus and Europe to Interhash—while reflecting on changing age, fitness, communication, and culture. It is a portrait of hashing’s adaptability from secret desert circles to open Nordic celebrations.

    4.21 Chew My Bacca

    Episode Summary

    Chew My Bacca first encountered hashing through a Fayetteville, North Carolina, bar in 2001, then became a committed member of the Upstate Hash “Trash” around Greenville, South Carolina. He describes learning trail calls and checks, getting named, serving as GM and RA, recruiting newcomers, and maintaining a busy regional network of weekly trails and hotel weekends.

    The conversation explores Southern hash traditions, callbacks, event publicity, neighboring clubs, and favorite gatherings from Savannah to New Orleans. Special attention goes to Greenville’s Yellow Dress Run, held for suicide prevention in partnership with Walt’s Waltz, and to the charitable potential of dress runs more broadly. His stories show a high-energy organizer using humor and ritual to create both community and a public purpose.

  • 4.20 Traditional Hanoi H3

    4.20 Traditional Hanoi H3

    Episode Summary

    A group of Hanoi hashers explains why the city’s long-established club split. As newer leadership favored increasingly long hikes and reduced or removed the traditional circle, veteran members created a separate group devoted to recognizable Hash House Harrier customs: runnable trails, checks, beer, songs, visitors, and a proper closing circle.

    Finger Van Dyke, Eau de Toilet, Toilet Cleaner, and fellow organizers discuss their first hashes, club roles, weekend transport beyond congested Hanoi, social-media access, ownership of the old website and logo, and the challenge of helping travelers find the new group online. Their appeal is not merely nostalgic; it is a case study in how volunteers preserve a club’s identity when members disagree about what hashing should be.

  • 4.19 Opulence

    4.19 Opulence

    Episode Summary

    Opulence first hashed in Guangzhou, China, in 1986 while backpacking, after an international youth shaped partly by years in Iran. He later settled in Brazil and helped rebuild Brasília’s hash community, bringing professional experience in marketing and events to the organization of the first Pan South America Hash.

    Recorded after the gathering, the episode becomes a practical postmortem: branding Brazil without reducing it to clichés, attracting international attendees, working with media and suppliers, choosing hotels and trails, managing beer and registration, and programming a culturally Brazilian weekend. Opulence also discusses the visible city-center Red Dress Run, its sensitivities near government buildings, and how prelubes and postlubes transformed one weekend into a wider South American journey.

  • 4.18 Grizzly

    4.18 Grizzly

    Episode Summary

    Grizzly began on Burnie Hash’s third run in Tasmania in 1978, aged eighteen and playing rugby as a prop forward. He was not a natural runner, but checks and false trails brought the faster pack back to him—and the rugby-style humor made the new club immediately familiar. He soon hared live trails and accumulated 750 Burnie runs before moving to Hobart.

    His long Tasmanian perspective encompasses local gatherings, family hashing, trail craft, shirt and logo design, and major events including Hobart Interhash 2000 and Australian Nash Hash 2011. Grizzly explains the volunteer effort and local identity behind Tasmania’s celebrated Interhash, reflects on changes in drinking, names, communications, and red-dress runs, and describes why people and shared memories matter as much as destinations.

    4.17 Hazukashii on 1st Pan SoAm

    Episode Summary

    Hazukashii checks in from Germany while preparing for the first Pan South America Hash in Brasília. He explains hashathons—four 10.5-kilometre trails adding up to a marathon—then previews a travel schedule through the Channel Islands, London, and Brazil before turning to the event’s June program, prelubes, postlubes, hotels, registration, and trail choices.

    The event grew from Haz’s travels through twelve of South America’s thirteen countries and conversations with Brasília GM Opulence about bringing more international attention to the continent’s hashes. He discusses volunteer coordination, culture, safety, communications, and his ongoing hash-history book project. Throughout, Haz argues that a memorable event begins with a genuinely good trail, with the parties and circle serving as welcome extras.

  • 4.16 Hops on The Lady in Red (RDR)

    4.16 Hops on The Lady in Red (RDR)

    Episode Summary

    Hops brings a close-to-firsthand account of the Lady in Red and the birth of the Red Dress Run. A Washington, D.C., hasher since 1996 and longtime keeper of online hash history, he personally knew the woman whose unexpected appearance in a red dress at a San Diego trail became one of hashing’s most repeated origin stories.

    The episode separates documented memory from legend, follows the tradition’s spread into major charity runs, and considers what the Lady in Red herself valued about it. Hops describes her personality, meticulous habit of recording the people she met, participation in later runs, and commitment to fundraising. The result is both a historical correction and a tribute to the person behind a worldwide hash symbol.
