Some readers have asked that I give my opinion and recommendations for poker podcasts instead of just summarizing them. So I though I’d give it a try. It is quite a daunting task to listen to all of the podcasts every week; one that is beyond my limitations. What I can do is listen to a few each week and give you my thoughts on those. From time to time I may also give you my take on some of the ones that I haven’t listened to but have only read the descriptions. I look forward to listeners grading my predictions.
For the first time I gave Kristy’s show on Poker News a listen. Jared Tendler is her guest in what turned out to be a two-part interview. Part one of the interview was excellent. I have really enjoyed Jared’s work ever since I first watched the videos he made for Stoxx a while back. My only criticism is that the show was too damn short! I will definitely be tuning in for part two.

I also gave The Tournament Poker Edge a listen for the first time. Though while listening in the car, I arrived at my destination before listening to the entire show, I thought there was some very good content in what I heard. The strategy discussion was well done and it was balanced with some cool background stories about the guests.

The 2+2 Pokercast returned this week after a short hiatus following their 200th show. They covered the major headlines, had a chat about the old days with “Seven Card Stud legend Artie Cobb”, and dug deep into the Bodog anonymous table issue with Kyle Boddy of HHSmithy.com. Who by the way failed to mention that Gus Fritschie detailed the vulnerability of brute force attacks at Bodog on pokerfuse a month ago. Overall it is a pretty solid show this week, but you may find yourself wanting to fast-forward through some of the slow parts as I did.

While I am usually not a big fan of the uber-raw style of Donk Down, they often have some really good thoughts on a wide variety of topics. I didn’t get a chance to check out their show this week but messing with Sam Grizzle, needling the Tropicana about their “Jamie Gold Poker Room”, and a visit from Pokerati Dan shows a lot of promise. I have downloaded the show and if I find myself with two hours to kill I will give it a listen.

That’s all for this week. Feel free to leave your own reviews, rip on mine, or suggest other podcasts for my listening pleasure.
