The CueClub Podcast
Hello and welcome to the CueClub Podcast with me, your host, Kev Teasdale. What’s it going to be about? Through each episode I’ll be joined by a range of guests from the world of snooker, pool and 9 ball. From world champions and big money match players to flair and county players, we’ll discuss who they are, how they got there and where they are going. Who are their biggest inspirations? What do they do when they’re away from the table? What is their training regime like? What made them pick up a cue? Not only that, I’ll also feature cue makers, be joined by owners of our favourite venues and hear from some of the top people who make cuesports the great game it is. Having played and loved these sports for the majority of my life, I am extremely fortunate to have met so many different characters from the world of cuesports - some I’d rather forget and some which are simply unforgettable. It is these individuals, along with my love and passion for the games, which has inspired me to start this Podcast. Join me to discover more about the players and people behind the white.
