This is a reloaded chat from last year with likeable Anglo-Irish player Martin O'Donnell. He saw the funny side of the criticism for playing a slow game at times and explained what may be behind it. We enjoyed meeting Martin and hope that he'll be back on the Tour as soon as possible. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/ga...

When you've coached the likes of Jimmy White, Stuart Bingham and Joe Johnson to name but a few over a 37 year career, you've got some stories to tell. This was a great insight into how players can improve and how coaches can spot where there is extra potential and the chat is peppered with some anecdotes about some big name players. Also a touching story about Willie Thorne around his illness and untimely passing that Alan was generous to share. A good chat, hope you enjoy it. The podcast was recorded on 9 August 2022.

Another reloaded episode especially for those who have followed us for less than a year. Being Nottingham based and as a fan of the mighty Reds, I was looking forward to spending some time in the company of one of the best sporting exports to come out of the city. Michael was a joy to talk with - we went off on a lot of tangents with chat about life, kindness, families, meditation, practice, politics, coaching, media work etc. and it was as close to having a chat down the pub as Zoom allows! Hope you enjoy, thanks Michael. Please rate/subscribe/like etc and tell people about us. By the way ..read more

We enjoyed meeting Vilius to learn more about the 5-time Lithuanian Snooker Champion. He is also a pool player and the conversation even drifts into Russian billiards. We talked a little about Lithuania and the impact of the war in Ukraine but also more generally about the snooker scene in Eastern Europe. Interesting that Vilius had just finished some online coaching delivered to a colleague in Saudi Arabia. Truly a global sport!

I met with some snooker Superfans back in August last year to talk about the 2021/22 season ahead. We've reloaded it for you! "The wrong Brian", "are these the Brian's you're looking for?" "he is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy" etc etc Ok so, funny although embarrassing story. I invited one superfan, Kellie Barker to the podcast and a second, known by thousands in snooker as Brian and on the day of the recording was told that i'd invited the wrong Brian!!! I was after the one who keeps popping up at snooker events on the front row and other events such as the Euros football, crick ..read more
