    Excellent podcast covering all things Snooker and also not afraid to veer into other interesting but related topics. Nick and Phil complement each other exceptionally and their journalistic nous is clear to see/hear. The only Snooker podcast I listen to currently as don’t feel the need to venture elsewhere. Often have excellent guests also. Highly recommended.
