#434: Justin Hood, David Munyua, Weekly Dartscast Awards Review Show

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the Weekly Dartscast Awards!

The boys start the show by looking back at the Weekly Dartscast Player of the Year Luke Littler's 2025 campaign, and discuss where it ranks among the best ever seasons by a player in the PDC, as well as whether 'The Nuke' can produce an even better run of results in 2026.

Three-time Weekly Dartscast Award winner Justin Hood (13:43) joins the show to look back on his life-changing run to the quarter-finals of the PDC World Darts Championship. 'Happy Feet' chats about how he first got into darts, his first appearances on the big stage in the BDO World Masters and World Championship, his decision to quit his job and go full-time at darts ahead of Q-School in 2025, winning his PDC tour card and then that epic run to the last eight on his debut at Ally Pally earlier this month.

Alex and Burton continue their awards recap by discussing Weekly Dartscast Young Player of the Year Mitchell Lawrie's impressive 2025 season and what would be a successful encore for the teenage Scot in 2026.

Four-time Weekly Dartscast Award winner David Munyua (34:50) is back on the show to reflect on his historic debut at the PDC World Darts Championship. 'Why Not' looks back on his first trip to the UK and being the first player from Kenya to play at Ally Pally, the epic comeback win from two sets down against Mike De Decker in the first round, a memorable VIP experience at Stamford Bridge to watch his football team Chelsea, and his hopes for the rest of his career and immediate plans for 2026.

The boys wrap up the show with a final look back at the results for the Weekly Dartscast Awards 2025-26 and discuss whether any of the voting surprised them!
