On The Baize - Podcasts

Firstly, A massive thank you for your support of Cuesport TV and On the Baize throughout 2009. It was a big year for us and without you listening, watching, rating, downloading and reviewing there would be no Cuesport TV.

2010 will be even bigger with some huge plans in the pipeline for some great content and interesting ideas. The first will be a move to a video podcast on this website (we will still release an audio version as well for those that enjoy listening rather than watching).

The only European player to pick up a point was the stalwart that is Ralf Souquet (ironically picked by USA captain Nick Varner for the last singles of the night).

Listen to the podcast for more information on last nights action.

Part two of the extended interview with Raj ‘Hitman’ Hundal, recorded in one of his families restaurants in Hounslow, London.

One of pool best players and someone that has a very exciting future ahead of him in the games of 9-ball and 10-ball, not only does he play pool for a living but he is already making a few investments to protect his future outside of the game.

Back in May Cuesport TV interviewed the ‘Hitman’ in his home town of Hounslow, he gave his own insight into the world of pool from his beginnings to his professional career and the governing body.

A number of the channels viewers have asked for this to be released as an audio file as well hence this podcast and the subsequent one that will feature part 2.

Podcast #06 takes a look at this weekend’s Eurotour Paris Open that features a number of high profile 9-ball pool players including Tony Drago, Daryl Peach, Ralf Souquet and Niels Feijen.

The tournament is available via a live stream on the Internet at:

Eurotour Live Stream

The stream is a decent quality and is well-worth a look although you will have to register with address, phone number, email and more and the site is also not running on a secure protocol.

There is also a preview for the Welsh Open snooker tournament that starts on the 16th February and features a number of Welsh players in addition to the regulars on the World snooker tour.

Pete’s Predictions for this one is a Matthew Stevens v Ryan Day final, a little bit sentimental perhaps with an all-welsh affair!

Finally, extended details of CueSport TV’s first live broadcast of 2009, from Great Yarmouth, are talked about including multiple cameras and live score graphics. It is free and all that is required is a login/registration (also free!)
