A marquee episode of Talking Snooker for you. Phil and Nick have been joined by a bonafide great in John Higgins. We knew this would be good, but it genuinely surpassed all our expectations and we can't wait to hear what you think.

Neil Robertson says ‘the sporting conduct in snooker is in the bin’.
At the International Championship, we’ve seen Kyren Wilson angrily launch his cue across the table and Jimmy White tell a referee, ‘don’t give up your day job’.
Is Robertson right? Are players going too far?
Talking Snooker will return on Tuesday.
We’ll have a mixture of news and views for you, including your correspondence.

Stephen Hendry will stir up some debate with his top 16 playes of the Crucible era.
Let us know what you think.
Stephen Hendry names his top 16 players of the last 50 years.
Interesting that four players who have not won the World Championship made the cut, while some Crucible conquerors missed out.

Ken Doherty joined Phil and Nick on the podcast in 2023 and was in typically entertaining form.
Ken's Alex Higgins line on George Best is worth the admission price on its own.

‘People around you don’t really understand, people are like, “why are you still chasing? What are you doing?”
‘You’ve got to tell yourself you’re still young enough in the game of snooker and you’ve got to trust your own ability. If you don’t do it, who else will?’
'You see one of your mates you beat in practice do really well and you think, "why can't that be me?" But that's what keeps the dream alive and pumping.'
Pleasure to chat to @philokane147 about outside the pro game.
He's back for a 14th crack at Q School
