The Snooker Therapy Podcast

I wanted to share something a little different. 
 
Alongside The Snooker Therapy Podcast, I’ve started a short, reflective series called Ponderings from the Podhouse.
 
They’re very small episodes, just a couple of minutes, based on everyday moments that made me pause and think.
 
It’s a slightly different tone, but it comes from the same place - The Sticky Toffee Podhouse.
 
If it sounds like your kind of thing, the first few episodes are already available wherever you listen to podcasts.
 
I've included the trailer here. 
 
No worries at all if it’s not for you, but I thought I’d share it.
