Weekly Dartscast

Alex Moss and Matthew Kiernan are back with a bonus episode as we're joined by the two ever presents at Q-School - Ashley Holgate and Ian Lever - ahead of the 2021 Q-School starting on Monday next week. First, Ashley Holgate (00:25) chats to Matthew about how darts runs through his family, with his grandad winning the News of the World in 1933, beating John Part on the Challenge Tour, and why he doesn't want Q-School to become a closed shop. Next, Ian Lever (19:50) joins Alex to talk through his darts career, the nerves on his debut for Lancashire, winning 150 caps for his county, playing in the UK Open at both venues, and what inspires him to keep competing. Enjoy!

Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode as they review the opening three days of the PDC World Championship.

Plus, Lee Huxtable (10:56), the production director for Nodor International, calls in and discusses producing the darts which helped Peter Wright and Wayne Warren to become world champions at the start of this year, how the industry has changed in the last 20 years, and much more.
