The Talking Balls Podcast

This is part 1 of 2 with the current Welsh Open Champion, Jordan Brown, who won the admiration of legions of fans and players with his last frame deciding victory over Ronnie O'Sullivan to take his first ranking tournament win.

Life has changed since that win as we hear but Jordan is not happy to rest on that win and working with a sports psychologist he is paving the way for potentially more success.

A good chat, enjoy.

This is part 1 of 2, the second part coming next Wednesday.

Scottish snooker and pool star Billy Snaddon spent some time with us recounting stories of practising with Stephen Hendry, growing up with him, Alan McManus, John Higgins etc.

No mean player himself, Billy reached the Regal China International in 1999 beating no less than James Wattana, Stephen Lee and Stephen Hendry before losing to John Higgins in the final. He also won the Kings Cup in Bangkok in 1994 and he tells you some of his thoughts on the current state of the sport too. A good listen.

15 year old Welsh snooker prospect Liam Davies came to talk with us fresh from his appearance at the Snooker Shoot-Out last week. He talked of the support he is getting on and off the table and came across as very focused and someone ready for any task.
What we didn't expect was Kevin Costner stepping in to save his attempt to clear the colours!!
He told us that he has been invited into the Welsh Open as well so we will watch his progress with interest.

We were delighted to spend the best part of 2 hours in our Christmas jumpers with a group of snooker pros, family, friends and fans for our annual event.

Joining us from the Tour were Michael Holt, Joe Perry and Lee Walker with up and coming players Hayden Staniland and Liam Davies.

It was a lot of fun and you can play along and see how you score, also, can you guess what the mystery sound is at the start of the episode?

On cheeky festive f-bomb thrown in too just to warn you if you don't like such language.
