The Wine Rack - Snooker & Snark

Jennie and Chloe reconvene post-Christmas to present a Preview of the Johnstone's Paint Masters at Alexandra Palace. With some epic match-ups in the Top 16 (technically 17 at time of release, with Neil Robertson stepping in for Ronnie O'Sullivan), it's guaranteed to be an incredible tournament. In honour of the sponsor, Johnstone's Paint, the Free Ball paints a pretty picture of the Johnstone's Pa...

In this bumper Christmas episode, Jennie and Chloe recap three snooker events - The Shootout, The Scottish Open and The Saudi Arabia Masters. They discuss the issues with snooker in Saudi, the lacklustre feel of the Home Nations Series, and how the Shootout needs to go big or go home. Then, it's on to the presents! The Top 16 (and addenda) get their Christmas wishes granted... possibly. Hosted on...

Chloe and Jennie look back on the UK Championship 2024 on the day of the final, featuring some 'live' commentary on the match between Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins.

Jennie and Chloe record following an epic and exhausting week in Bolton attending the Champion of Champions tournament.

There's a nod to the International Championship, too, before they venture into an alternate universe where our 16 Champions (plus guests) never picked up a cue... Hosted on Ac...

Jennie and Chloe talk briefly about the recent Northern Ireland Open and bemoan yet more bizarre scheduling decisions by WST, then get into a fantastically frightening Free Ball where they cast the horror movie to end all horror movies with their favourite (and less favourite) snooker players!

Chloe and Jennie reflect on the Wuhan Open (what they saw of it) and have a trademark moan about the WST calendar and its seeming lack of clarity and direction.

Jennie and Chloe chat about two new events on the Snooker Calendar - the Xi'an Grand Prix and the "Saudi Arabia Masters" - bemoaning how terrible Matchroom is as a streaming platform and how disappointing it is to see WST participate in very obvious sportswashing.

The snooker season has officially begun, so it's time to celebrate with some proper snooker chat.

With more WST sponsors being announced, Jennie and Chloe have a wee ramble about the sponsors they'd love to see on the tour and get geared up for the first proper tournament of the season.

The Snooker Season has started! Sort of... Jennie and Chloe reminisce (again) on their experience at the World Championship [Chloe coughs a lot] and ponder the slightly odd start to the season and how disappointing it is that Q School isn't a real school (and that it isn't called 'Cue School'). Then it's off to Jim Henson's world of Muppets for some mild roasting of the Top 16. Hosted on Acast. Se...
