The first episode of the new season brings you a very bright young snooker talent - Stan Moody.

For many, their first look at Stan was his win over Lu Ning in the shootout first round and he was very impressive. Defying his age, Moody looked like a player who could build breaks and fear nobody.

Some nice shout-outs to his support team and particularly for Shaun Murphy who Stan has spent time with over the last few days.

One to watch for sure and an amazing talent particularly given that he is still 15.

The podcast was recorded on 28 June 2022 with Stan with a cameo from dad Nigel towards the end.

We bring back our chat with the legendary Clive Everton from last summer.

A big presence in the sport through his different roles and supremo of Snooker Scene. Former player and commentator and a prolific writer on the sport. We hope that you enjoy this episode, you may have missed it first time around.

The sound quality is less than normal due to how we recorded the episode but hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of it.

On the eve of last season we talked to the ambitious Steven Hallworth about the state of the game, the mental toughness needed to play well, practicing, players behind the scenes and mates in the game.
A good talk with another player that we'll be looking out for on the Tour as we follow his fortunes.
The podcast was recorded on 7 July 2021 with Steve at RAF Waddington where he has a table set up to use.

This was a really interesting chat with Matt Andrews who works with a number of snooker players as well as other sportspeople. He has worked closely with a range of players from Ronnie O'Sullivan (whom he calls an 'artist') to Crucible debutant Ashley Hugill.

The mental preparation and planning involved in such individual sports is growing and Matt provides a great insight for us.

We bring back our chat with Gary Wilson in pre-season for 2021/22. Since that chat he almost toppled Mark Williams to win the British Open and has had some highlights in the season. He talks here about his career and love of gaming. Good chat.

We really enjoyed chatting with famous snooker referee Leo Scullion reflecting on the end of the World Championship. We talked about his previous life before becoming a referee and his thoughts on various aspects of the sport.
A really interesting man and engaging, we hope you enjoy meeting him too.

We met Oliver Lines back in May/June last year and he was the first pro player to agree to be our guest. For that we will always be grateful.
Hear from Ollie as he looked at the season ahead and career to date.

We have been meeting every Tuesday night to chat about the World Championships at the Crucible covering views and talking points. This time we caught up on the quarters, semi and that epic final performance from the main man. We may have discussed the future of the Crucible as a venue too!

We are meeting every Tuesday night to chat about the World Championships at the Crucible covering views and talking points. This was week 2 and we reflected on Rounds 1 and 2 and catching up on the quarter finals where we are getting a feel for the runners and riders heading for the single table set-up.

Lots to talk about this week with the 'Crucible Pigeon,' Robbo's 147, Noppon's graceful exit etc.
