Welcome back to the latest episode of The Totally Snookered Podcast where we salute an epic English Open title victory for Mark Allen, who was the undisputed master of brinkmanship in Brentwood with comeback wins and five consecutive deciding frame finishes.

We look ahead to another week of busy snooker action with the British Open taking place in Cheltenham, and we try to answer a variety of questions sent in by fans, including:

• What has happened to Judd Trump's form?
• Why are there so many 147s this season?
• How the players make travel and accommodation arrangements for events
• Scoreboard issues
• Will Jack Lisowski win a title?

In the maiden episode of The Totally Snookered Podcast, Michael Day answers a variety of questions posed by fans. On the agenda includes:

• Why is there a lack of professional snooker events in continental Europe, and what could be the solution?
• The future of the Home Nations Series
• Will Neil Robertson win another world title?
• Should/could the miss rule be changed?
• Explaining the world ranking system, and possible changes

NOTE: During the episode, I could not remember the name of the second wildcard for this season's Northern Ireland Open; that player was Zak Sheldon. Sorry, Zak!

Also during the show, I accidentally said that the professional circuit uses a points-based system, where in fact it is a prize money-based system. - Michael
