Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode ahead of the PDC World Darts Championship!

The boys start the show by discussing the reigning champion Michael Smith's chances of defending his title at Ally Pally, as well as picking which is the toughest quarter of the 96-player draw.

Alex and Burton also discuss who they think will win Paddy Power's Ballon d'Art for hitting the most 180s in the tournament, before giving their thoughts on the action so far at the WDF World Championships this week.

France's Thibault Tricole (17:53) calls in ahead of making his PDC World Championship debut later this month. Thibault talks us through how he first got into darts, rising through the ranks on the French darts scene, progressing onto the BDO and WDF circuits, his run to the final at Lakeside last year, France's return to the PDC World Cup of Darts earlier this year, and making history as the first French player to play at Ally Pally this year.

Inside The WDF's Andrew Sinclair (56:48) joins us from Lakeside to reflect on the first half of the WDF World Championships. Andrew gives his thoughts on the action so far, his own call up to the commentary box, if his podcast will return in 2024, and predicts who will lift the men's and women's titles on Sunday evening.
