  • Brilliant independent snooker podcast

    Snooker needs more content like this. The host speaks and honestly and frankly, sharing some different opinions. He has good chemistry with the guests and the topics are wide ranging and (usually) very interesting. This is not just your average, bog standard snooker chat.
