Weekly DartscastShow Notes
Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast ahead of the PDC World Cup of Darts.
The boys kick off the show with a look ahead to this week in Frankfurt and discuss the chances of the pre-tournament favourites England, and whether the all-star team of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries can bring darts home this summer.
Nick Kenny (7:49) joins the show ahead of making his PDC World Cup of Darts debut. The Welsh no. 3 chats about his unexpected call-up to the team after Gerwyn Price made himself unavailable for selection, his memories of representing Wales in the BDO/WDF system, beating Stowe Buntz and Raymond van Barneveld at Ally Pally two years ago to keep his PDC tour card, and the now infamous bounce out Tom Bissell had against him recently on the ProTour.
The boys continue their World Cup preview by discussing who are the leading contenders to follow in Northern Ireland's footsteps from last year and be the next country to join the roll of honour.
Adam Sevada and Stowe Buntz (37:15) join Burton DeWitt to look ahead to making their PDC World Cup of Darts debuts together for the USA this week. Adam reflects on a breakthrough 2025 campaign which saw him top the CDC rankings with five titles and enjoy a winning debut in the PDC World Darts Championship. Stowe talks about making Ally Pally for a third year in a row, what it's been like playing on the CDC tour with his teenage son Stowe Buntz Jnr, and what it means to be representing the USA in the World Cup.
Alex and Burton finish up their World Cup preview by delving into the group stage draw and pick out their 'group of death' and which unseeded nations could make it through to the knockouts.
Adam Leek (1:02:23) calls in ahead of making his PDC World Cup of Darts debut for Australia. The new PDC tour card holder reflects on a whirlwind last six months, winning his tour card in his first ever Q-School, the life-changing move from Adelaide to Milton Keynes to pursue his dream of being a professional dart player, signing up with the darts manufacturer Unicorn, and what life has been like so far living in the UK.
