Talking Snooker Episode 235 - Christmas Special with Jennie and Chloe from The Wine Rack

Talking Snooker

Show Notes

Here's our Christmas Special, as we join forces with Jennie Bancroft and Chloe Johnson from The Wine Rack podcast.

We reflect on victory for Chris Wakelin at the Scottish Open and then take you on a whistlestop tour through the last 12 months.

The many memorable moments have included Shaun Murphy winning the Masters, John Higgins returning to winning ways, Zhao Xintong becoming China's first world champion, Ronnie O'Sullivan's double maximum, Jack Lisowski finally winning his first ranking title and Mark Selby claiming the UK Championship title.

We also reflect on different Christmas roles that might be taken by snooker players, select our magic moment of the year and have a wish each for 2026.

Thank you sincerely for continuing to listen to Talking Snooker in such strong numbers throughout 2025, along with all your kind words and interesting correspondence.

We'll be back soon with Neal Foulds joining us to look ahead to the Masters. Keep your thoughts coming on any snooker issue - tweet us @TalkingSnooker or email [email protected]

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our listeners.
