  • Great company from a trusted source on the game we all love

    Followed Nick with Talking Snooker and Radio Snooker - both pods are great. Particular praise for the deep dives with Kathi are due, they were both great. Keep on going, Sir. I’m sure I speak for the many when I say that you’re doing a great job. Thanks a bunch, from a fan who isn’t called Brian.

  • Love this show

    Love the insights and verity Nick adds to the array of snooker pods available. The shorter formats and array of topics, commentaries and cafe chats is ace. This is always at the top of my playlist when an episode is available.

  • A fantastic addition to the snooker podcast world

    If you enjoy the Talking Snooker podcast then you’ll enjoy this too. Each episode has a different flavour as sometimes there will be on the spot interviews at tournaments with players, officials or fans and at other times there is listener correspondence.

    Host Nick Metcalfe is very engaging and is fantastic company.

    His welcoming style makes you feel like you are listening to a chum.
