Welcome to Season 2 of “Shootin’ the Bull,” the official podcast of the Championship Darts Circuit! Join host Anthony Eugenio and his expert contributors, Mark Taggart and Gordon Dixon, as they dive into the exciting world of darts from a North American perspective.

In this episode, we kick off the season by discussing the recent PDC World Darts Championship, where the newly crowned champion, Luke Littler, made history. We analyze the implications of his victory, the current state of Michael van Gerwen’s legacy, and what it means for the future of the sport.

We also take a closer look at the rebranded Winmore World Masters, featuring a fast-paced set play format that keeps players on their toes. CDC CEO Peter Cetera, shares his insights from the event, and we discuss the thrilling matches and standout performances.

We debut a fun, fast paced new segment called Darts Around the World where a 2 minute timer puts the pressure on to bring your best takes before time runs out! 

Additionally, we celebrate Jim Long’s achievement of securing his PDC tour card and David Cameron’s return to Lakeside, highlighting the growing presence of North American players in the international darts scene.
