Sam Craigie joins Phil and Nick on the podcast, to talk about his career so far and hopes for the future.

Sam tells us about his early days in the game, practising with his brother Stephen, and his first season as a professional. He reflects on his disappointment over some players and pundits still talking about some of his behaviour earlier in his career, talks about reaching the Crucible for the first time and remembers his brilliant run to the semi-finals at the 2024 German Masters.
