#419: Teemu Harju, Michael Frydendahl, Dean Moss, PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship Special

Alex Moss is back with a special episode of your go-to darts podcast from the PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship! The newly crowned PDC Nordic & Baltic champion Teemu Harju (3:01) sits down with Alex ahead of playing in the inaugural PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship. The Finn talks through his career in the game so far, from battling through dartitis to the dramatic conclusion to this year's PDC Nordic & Baltic Pro Tour which saw him win the last event of the season to finish second in the rankings on count back and earn a debut in the PDC World Darts Championship in December. PDC Nordic & Baltic chairman Michael Frydendahl (16:01) chats with Alex in Copenhagen during the PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship. Michael talks about how he first got into darts during his career as a footballer in Denmark, how he started up a darts team whilst working in the Danish prison service, meeting the late Jann Hoffmann and starting up the Danish Darts League, which later became the Scandinavian Darts Corporation and now the PDC Nordic & Baltic, and naming the trophy for the PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship in Jann's honour. PDC Nordic & Baltic Swedish representative Dean Moss (37:11) also joins the show to look back on the PDC Nordic & Baltic's biggest season yet. Dean reflects on a record 12-event Pro Tour season, the dramatic season finale which saw Teemu Harju pip Oskar Lukasiak to second spot by winning the last event, the Pro Tour returning to Norway this year, the origins of the PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship and the future plans for the organisation in 2026 and beyond.
