Legends of the Cue isn’t just a podcast, it’s a living time capsule of the soul of professional cue sports. With each episode, Alison Fisher, Mark Wilson and Mike Gonzalez invite us into the inner sanctum of the game: not just what happens on the table, but what happens in the heart.
This is no ordinary roundtable. Mark brings the deep-rooted wisdom of a coach and commentator who has seen the game evolve over decades. Alison offers not just her Hall of Fame star quality, but a rare, gracious candor that breathes life into every reflection. And Mike Gonzalez rounds out the trio with a vibrant, grounded perspective that makes every listener, whether a seasoned pro or a curious newcomer feel personally connected to the reflection of these heart felt experiences.
What makes Legends of the Cue magnificent is its depth. It’s not a string of interviews or highlight reels. It’s a curated journey through the history, humanity, and heritage of life on the road, in the practice room, and under pressure. The stories shared are raw, funny, humbling, and extremely profound in that never knew it before now kind of way. From tales of childhood hustle to world championship pressure, from forgotten road players to defining career moments, there’s a heartbeat behind every rack.
Production-wise, the podcast is a class act, clean and clear. I feel like I'm sitting in a leather chair at a pool hall, coffee in hand, listening to legends talk late into the night. There's intimacy and intention in every minute.
But above all, Legends of the Cue matters. It documents a world that deserves reverence. It bridges generations and brings dignity to a sport too often misunderstood. It ensures that the voices and experiences that shaped this game are not lost to time.
This podcast is a gift. A love letter. It's essential listening for anyone who has ever chalked a cue, chased a dream, or simply fallen in love with the magic of the game.
Bravo to Mark, Alison, and Mike. You’re not just telling stories, you’re preserving a legacy.
