Default Re: Podcasts?

These are the ones I listen to. The first is the best, the rest aren't in rank order per se.

Rounders The Poker show is probably the best. Two guys from Vancouver do a weekly one radio show that gets podcasted. It's a good mix of a poker pro and a (poker)amateur host doing their thing. Since this is podast of an actual radio broadcast, it is very well produced and the hosts know how to talk to listeners. They have top quality interviews with the pros and other notables (too many to list), well-rounded content: strategy (Limit and NL), WSOP/WPT, major poker news, trip reports, etc. This is the best one out there as far as I'm concerned.

The Ante Up Poker Podcast is okish. These are two guys from Tampa/St.Pete who work for the Tampa Bay Times I believe (at least one of them does) who play in a lot of the Fla. race-track tourneys and online. Mostly NL strategy and tips, major poker news summaries, trip reports. They are just starting to get some named pros for interviews. Their understanding and communication of strategy concepts can be off sometimes so for someone in the know it can get annoying.

Poker Diagram is basically a weekly podcast of two guys from London who podcast running commentaries of SNGs, MTT's (edited for time), and some other games. One plays and the other comments. Time between hands is filled with strategy discussion and the like. They also do listener tournaments. No other real content except for the occasional strategy discussion, hand of the week, etc.

I do not listen regularly but I tried the My Sports Radio Poker Podcast a couple of times but it hurt my hears. I didn't find the host all that knowledgable and the organization of the podcasts were also pretty bad.
