About this listen

Before there was peace, there was a standoff. This episode traces the surprisingly dramatic history of petanque in America — competing federations, coast-versus-coast tensions, and the unlikely figure who carried a quiet French game from one shore to the other.

How did rival organizations end up under a single banner? And who really deserves credit as the founding father of American petanque? Roll with us through the rivalries, the personalities, and the treaty that finally unified the sport. Huge thanks to Stephen Ferg for the meticulous research of this story.
