Nostalgic episode of the podcast in more ways than one. Not only is it more than two hours long, we've even chucked in some lovable connection issues for you. It's a monster episode here, and leading the way is a terrific appearance from Daniel Wells. There's so much good stuff from Daniel, including his memories of spending time with various Welsh snooker icons, how hurt he was was by negative comments made by Ronnie O'Sullivan, not having an alcoholic drink for over a year, a first ever appearance at the Crucible and his hopes for the future. We also reflect on a superb success for Mark Selby at the Champion of Champions, look ahead to UK qualifying, round up the rest of the snooker news and read out your very kind messages as we celebrate our fifth anniversary. We very much appreciate you being there during our half a decade on the air. It's been a memorable journey for us. The story of the podcast will go on, and we'll return next week to look ahead to the main stages of one of the sport's greatest events, the UK Championship.
