Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe

Radio Snooker is back on the air as the Shenzhen Open comes to its climax. 

I will return soon with Points of View. More correspondence would be very much appreciated - tweet @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

There are four players left in Shenzhen and here's a new broadcast looking ahead to the last four matches. Plus results and news from the last 16 and quarter-finals.

You can also hear my new Sporting Life column in audio form, as I say Ronnie O'Sullivan is hurting his chances of winning an eighth world title by not playing enough snooker.

Keep your thoughts coming on any snooker matter, tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected] - I will return with Points of View soon.

Thank you for tuning in once again to Radio Snooker. Plenty of telly tips here, plus reaction to Daniel Puddicombe joining me last week. 

I will have a more traditional Points of View broadcast for you soon, so do keep your snooker thoughts and opinions coming to me. Tweet @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

The brilliant travel journalist Daniel Puddicombe joins me on Radio Snooker.

Daniel talks at length about his experience of attending tournaments in China, including the difficulty of laying his hands on a ticket.

Daniel also talks about his experiences of watching snooker in a number of countries and his love of railways, including recent Amtrak trips in the United States.

Good day. It is high time I caught up again with your correspondence. Please do keep it coming, your views are a key part of Radio Snooker. Tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]

Sorry about the break in transmission. Plenty of commentaries, interviews and discussions coming your way. And right now, reflections on recent events on the table, including British Open glory for Jak Jones and English Open success for Ali Carter.

I know how busy you are. And I am aware that I was on the air for over an hour with my last Points of View broadcast.

So it's back to the tried and trusted 20 for 20 here, with news of victory for Chang Bingyu at the Wuhan Open.

Hello everyone. It is high time I returned to the airwaves and here I am in beautiful Brittany to catch up with your correspondence in a new Points of View broadcast.

There's a variety of topics covered here, including the miss rule, the use of VAR, TV coverage, pockets in China and Mark Selby.

If you're in the same hemisphere as me, I hope you had a lovely summer. For all the others, spring is on the way.

Hello everyone. Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe is back on the air as the redoubtable Mark Selby wins the China Open again, his 26th ranking tournament success.

Hello everyone. Another fascinating tournament is in progress and here is a China Open update from me.

What is your take on the incident in the Stuart Bingham v Hossein Vafaei match? It looks pretty clear to me, but I'm not above having my mind changed.
