I am delighted to be joined again on Radio Snooker by Kathi Hartinger from the Total Clearance podcast. Kathi and I analyse the Steve Dawson interview, reacting to what the World Snooker Tour chairman had to say.

There's talk about snooker in Saudi Arabia, comparison with darts, the new China Open, loss of events in mainland Europe, the Professional Snooker Players Association, the Matchroom documentary, the Crucible and much more besides.

Your reaction to what you've heard here would be most welcome. Please do tweet me @RadioSnooker or email [email protected]
