The first frame, Totally Snookered to break

In the maiden episode of The Totally Snookered Podcast, Michael Day answers a variety of questions posed by fans. On the agenda includes: * Why is there a lack of professional snooker events in continental Europe, and what could be the solution? * The future of the Home Nations Series * Will Neil Robertson win another world title? * Should/could the miss rule be changed? * Explaining the world ranking system, and possible changes NOTE: During the episode, I could not remember the name of the second wildcard for this season's Northern Ireland Open; that player was Zak Sheldon. Sorry, Zak! Also during the show, I accidentally said that the professional circuit uses a points-based system, where in fact it is a prize money-based system. - Michael
