Listen Later

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode ahead of the US Darts Masters!

The boys start this week's show by delving into last week's PDC World Darts Championship qualifying criteria announcement, and giving their own thoughts on how the expanded 128-player field will be made up this December, before looking back on last week's ProTour action in Leicester, and in particular James Wade's first PDC title success in three years.

Darts legend Bobby George (18:25) calls in to discuss his new book 'Still Here - The King of Bling'. In a long-ranging chat, the two-time News of the World champion talks about a range of subjects including the growth of the game in the last 50 years, introducing walk-ons into darts, why he is no longer working as a pundit on the World Seniors and much more.

Alex and Burton continue the show with a look ahead to a bumper weekend of darts, starting off with the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden. The boys make their picks for who they think will win the World Series event in New York, as well as predict who lifts the North American Darts Championship, before delving into this Sunday's World Seniors Champion of Champions and the highly-talked about debut of Raymond van Barneveld in the event.

World Seniors Darts chief executive Jason Francis (1:00:53) then joins the show ahead of the Champion of Champions this weekend. Jason discusses a range of key topics involving the seniors, from lowering the minimum age of entry from 50 to 45 and scraping the tour events this year to Raymond van Barneveld's inclusion as a wildcard in the Champion of Champions and whether more PDC tour card holders could feature in future events.
