Listen on

Episode notes

Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a World Matchplay review special. First, the man of the moment, Dimitri Van den Bergh (00:56) calls in to talk through his first major win at the World Matchplay, look back at a career-changing week in Milton Keynes, and reflect on his progress over the last two years. Then, legendary commentator John Gwynne (28:39) joins the show to give his thoughts on the World Matchplay, how he felt darts on TV worked without a live crowd, and the lowdown on his upcoming book 'Soccer Satisfied'. Next, leading PDC referee Russ Bray (1:10:57) calls in to talk about being on stage as one of the officials for the World Matchplay, the first darts major since the PDC's return, calling the title-winning checkout on Sunday, and a referee's view on working a major event behind closed doors. Plus, there's plenty of chat between our co-hosts Alex and Burton as they review an eventful nine days of televised darts. Enjoy!
