The WPBSA Snooker Podcast returns for the first of a six-episode opening season and we begin with a big one as we look back at the 1999 World Championship which saw Stephen Hendry claim a magnificent seventh Crucible title!
Host Michael McMullan is joined by leading snooker broadcaster and journalist David Hendon - who was the WPBSA Press Officer at the event - alongside two-time ranking event winner Joe Perry, who secured a memorable victory of his own at the tournament against the legendary Steve Davis.
The trio plot their way through the key moments from the tournament as Hendry rebounded from an infamous 9-0 defeat to Marcus Campbell at the UK Championship just months earlier to make history in Sheffield.
We also reflect more generally upon a landmark season in the sport which saw a significant rise in standard as a new generation made their indelible mark on the World Snooker Tour.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
