The Wine Rack - Snooker & Snark

Jennie and Chloe reflect on a somewhat flat week at the Players Champs in Telford before turning attention to the Welsh Open in sunny Llandudno - you can even relive some of the final with them as they react to some terrible shot choices! The two are then joined again by Irene Sriharan for the much-anticipated second half of their chat, including talk of snooker in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, and Sheffield. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe celebrate a fabulous Three-Peat at the Championship League Invitational (doesn't count) for their fave, Mark Selby, then reflect on a slightly dour week in Hong Kong at the World Grand Prix and look ahead to the Players (Player's? Players'?) Championship and the sticky end of the season! Things round off with a slightly chaotic lunch hour in the local supermarket selecting some Meal Deal combos based solely on vibes (what's new?). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe talk through a slightly disappointing week at the German Masters 2026 before turning to some fun and games in the first Free Ball of 2026, but which snooker player IS Scrabble?? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In their first episode of 2026, Jennie and Chloe reflect on a somewhat uninspiring Masters at Alexandra Palace. Although there were some fantastic results in the latter stages, and a very satisfying full house of 6-2 results in round one, there wasn't as much scintillating snooker as folk have come to expect from a tournament showcasing the Top 16 snooker players in the world. After that, the pair are joined by Irene Sriharan, CEO of Kingsman Sports Group and all-around bodacious boss babe. They discuss Irene's origins as a snooker fan, then her journey to founding Kingsman and growing the game in Sri Lanka. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chloe and Jennie join forces with snooker reporting legends Nick Metcalfe and Phil Haigh for an epic Christmas special, looking back over some of the most significant snooker moments of 2025 and setting our intentions for 2026. Grab a drink (or two) and a mince pie (or four) and join us for this bumper episode! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe reminisce on Mark Selby's brilliant win at the UK Championships, followed by a brief trip to Edinburgh for a Chris-mas miracle at the Scottish Open (by way of a mad couple of days in Blackpool at the Snooker Shoot Out). To cap off this Boxing Day delight, enjoy a chaotic Christmas with some of your favourite snooker players! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe record live in Leicester at the Champion of Champions following the group stages, then reflect on a fantastic win for first-time champ Mark Selby. Is Leicester a good venue for the Champ o' Champs? Did the VIP offering live up to its name? Were the conditions really so terrible? Has Shaun Murphy finished throwing a tantrum yet? All this and more in our latest episode... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the 2025 Halloween Special, so Jennie and Chloe are up to their usual snooker shenanigans, but now with a spooky soundtrack. Take a look back at the Xi'an Grand Prix (all hail Mark Williams) before a special Editing Jennie & Chloe double team jump in to squeal over Jack Lisowski's momentous Northern Ireland Open win in Belfast! For the spook-tacular Free Ball, it's costume time for the Top 16 - who wears what? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe are delighted to be joined by the witty and effervescent Dominic Dale, who could've chatted with them for several hours about many, many different topics. The final cut of this interview is mostly snooker-related, but a few tangents were taken along the way. After that, there's a brief trip to South Dakota on the cards as Jennie and Chloe outline their picks for the Snooker Mount Rushmore - be prepared to disagree with them! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chloe and Jennie record on-site at Cheltenham, giving a (sort of) play-by-play of their time attending the British Open Snooker at The Centaur, which sadly ended in heartbreak. Thankfully, they had wine and Italian food, so that took the edge off. NOTE: The sound is slightly iffy to begin with (as Editing Jennie explains) but we promise it gets better! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe recap most of the English Open while the final ticks on in the background (no spoilers, for those who missed it), then it's on to a special guest appearance from the fantastic David Hendon, snooker commentator, writer, and broadcaster (and occasional playwright) who talks about his own history with this beautiful sport and gives a sneak preview of his new book, "Pots of Gold" (available from all good booksellers from 25 September 2025). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe discuss the latest snooker action from Riyadh, where Ronnie O'Sullivan further cemented his GOAT status and Our Robbo had the biggest payday of his career. They also avoid a sportswashing rant this time, but Editing Jennie points you to previous episodes if you're interested in that sort of thing. Then it's on to Wuhan where Editing Jennie forgets to congratulate the winner, but where some pretty excellent snooker stories abounded. Finally, the Free Ball takes a trip to Disney (Land? World? Who knows). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chloe and Jennie drink to Kyren Wilson's excellent Shanghai Masters triumph (bubbly was drunk prior to recording) and celebrate the proper start to the season. For their third Free Ball of Season 3, there's a real smörgåsbord of delights as they write up a menu fit for a host of champions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a longer-than-intended hiatus, Jennie and Chloe return with another episode of snooker chat and plenty of nonsense. They look ahead to the 2025/26 season, then talk through a few "controversies" in the world of snooker and snooker podcasting, before Jennie dusts off her undergraduate degree and takes Chloe on a (very, very) long trip through the annals of Art History and somehow manages to shoehorn in some snooker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe kick off Season 2 of this soon-to-be award-winning snooker podcast with a bumper 2-hour long episode! They chat to fellow snooker superfan (and one of the Snooker Fairy Godmothers) Kellie Barker about how her nan inspired her love of the game, which player she considers to be 'a real man', and what she's looking forward to in the upcoming season. For the first Free Ball of the season, Jennie and Chloe delve into one of Chloe's special interests and build a Top 16 Snooker Pokedex - gotta catch 'em all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the final episode of Season 1 of the soon-to-be-award-winning Wine Rack podcast, Chloe and Jennie look back on the 2024-25 Snooker Season, share some highlights and discuss the pitfalls of having favourites in this cruel sport. For the final Free Ball of the season, the pair award their own accolades to the players, including the prestigious 'Best Hair' and 'Most Likely to Join the Circus' awards... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe reflect in depth on the 2025 Snooker Halo World Championship, which Jennie had the great pleasure to attend courtesy of Midnite, one of the tournament sponsors. Her back is still recovering. The pair talk through all the rounds, the highs and lows, and then discuss the asterisk that will forever sit beside Zhao Xingtong's name as World Champion, despite his talent and superb performance across the competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's The Wine Rack's 1st Birthday and, to celebrate, they popped open the bubbly and got to chatting about the draw for the 2025 World Snooker Championship! There are some tasty match-ups for everyone this year, and lucky old Jennie gets to experience it all in-person, thanks to Midnite casino and the #MidniteMarathon (not an endorsement, but she is very grateful.) Chloe and Jennie then move on to their now-traditional roast of the Top 16's walk-on songs and make some recommendations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe record in Manchester in the midst of the Snooker Tour Championship and reflect briefly on the Players Championship before hopping on a call with Taylor Wilson, snooker manager extraordinaire!

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jennie and Chloe review the two latest snooker tournaments out east - the World Open and the World Grand Prix, celebrating some excellent wins for John Higgins and Neil Robertson, and looking ahead to the Player's Championship back on home turf.
