The Wrong Bed podcast

Launched in Vegas in 2009, The Wrong Bed podcast takes an independent irreverent and generally irrelevant look at the world of darts. After six series of ever decreasing length and quality, TWB will be back in 2016 with a couple of special episodes.

Below you can access more than 50 previous episodes – or you can listen via the never-updated Facebook page, via iTunes, on this (fairly slow and very old-school) direct download, or through numerous other routes many of which weren’t invented when we started out.

Tricky D and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the show, in particular for making us laugh – and  helping us generate a volume of  outtakes that would make Denis Norden proud.

You can get in touch by emailing bachelorofdarts@gmail.com, or following @thewrongbed on twitter; sometimes we might even respond. We may even put together another episode or two, if you ask nicely.

2015 PDC World Championship review

We're back, albeit briefly, for a whistle-stop tour of the 2015 PDC World Championship which saw Gary 'Definitely not no-balls' Anderson follow up victory with a trip to PC World, and the legend that is RVB steal our mike. It's good to be back.

PL finals night – Every Loser Wins

A special episode sees us return to London's O2 in the company of RVB, MVG and BJG for the finals of the 2013 Premier League. Darts doesn't get much bigger than this. (That's Big John Gwynne, by the way).

The mini-series ends with a look ahead to the key questions of 2013 - who will win the World Cup, who's likely to have a good year, and what will Rod Harrington have to say about it? PDC Chief Exec Matt Porter and BDO Comms Director Robert Holmes tell us of their...

Being Beaton & Pipe dreams

It's housewives favourite time, as Steve 'The not-quite-so-bronzed as he once was but still looking pretty good for a 47-year old dart player Adonis' becomes the 15th world champion to appear on the show. Plus, 2011's form player Justin Pipe gives a very good defence...
