The Sporting Life Darts Podcast is back for the World Championship featuring predictions and analysis from John Part plus interviews with Daryl Gurney, Paul Nicholson and Joe Cullen.
Christmas, as usual, comes early for our resident darts nut Chris Hammer - and millions more like him around the world - so to get you further in the mood he's pulled together a stellar cast for our special Podcast ahead of the PDC World Championship.
Obviously the star attraction is three-time world champion and Sky Sports commentator John Part, who meticulously works his way through the draw quarter-by-quarter with Chris to pick out his predicted semi-finalists, eventual champion and potential dark horses at 80/1 and 125/1. The pair also discuss a potential 20/1 special if you reckon Lisa Ashton and Anastasia Dobromyslova can make history!
We also have three exclusive interviews - Players Championship Finals winner Daryl Gurney, rising star Joe Cullen and Paul Nicholson, who reveals how his work has a pundit has helped him return to the biggest stage of all after a three-year absence.
