Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back to preview the Grand Slam of Darts, which starts in Wolverhampton on Saturday (1:12).

The newly crowned European Championship winner Ritchie Edhouse joins the show to reflect on his landmark victory in Dortmund a fortnight ago. 'Madhouse' also chats about his breakthrough 2024 season overall, qualifying for the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix for the first time, explains why he started wearing an arm sleeve whilst playing darts, and more (18:21).

Alex and Burton continue their Grand Slam of Darts preview and delve into the group stage draw, picking out their 'group of death' and highlighting which seeds have the toughest draw and which of the 'outsiders' from pool D could go the furthest (33:12).

Kwiff's Jack Milner also calls in to give us the odds for our latest Weekly Dartscast Parlay with Kwiff. Co-hosts Alex and Burton, along with Jack, each make two picks for Saturday's opening day of matches at the Grand Slam for this week's parlay, before Jack outlines some of the other betting markets for the tournament (49:18).

The 2024 Challenge Tour Order of Merit winner Connor Scutt calls in to discuss a memorable last weekend in Leicester. 'The Sniper' reflects on topping the Challenge Tour rankings and winning back his PDC tour card, as well as a debut at the Grand Slam this weekend, and goes into why he ended up choosing Ally Pally over Lakeside for his World Championship campaign this winter (54:51).

Alex and Burton wrap up the show with a look back at the last Challenge Tour action of the season, before giving their first reaction to the draws for the 2024 WDF World Championships at Lakeside (1:11:38).
