    Episode 10: Snow In July

    With all the crap summer weather on both sides of the pond, we go back to February and a tournament in the frozen North(ish) with some very warm people. With a cameo by 1990 British Open champ Bob Chaperon. Download this episode! Subscribe!

Here's Chaperon after winning the 1990 British Open, along with the man he defeated: Alex Higgins. Yes, Bob's hair has improved since then.

    Episode 06: It's What You Leave

    After reading some interesting new rules for Ontario players qualifying for the Nationals, Matt and Valerie talk handicaps with a couple players who travel far for competition and talk memories with a man who played two Canadian snooker legends (possibly not who you'd expect).

(Note: since some of the rules were read for the podcast, their wording has been changed and at least one line omitted, but the rules themselves seem to remain in place.)
