PRESS PLAY: News to Fun to Strategy – Six Great Poker Podcasts to Check Out for 2021

In the early days of poker, the only place players could hear stories, news, or talk to other grinders was at the tables. With the rise of poker podcasts over the last several years, that has changed considerably.

Players can now enjoy poker news, interviews, and strategy discussions as they drive to work or hit the gym. Poker podcasts all have developed their own niche.

Some shows are based on strategy or news, while others are simply for entertainment. The great thing about podcasts is they are generally posted as free content. As podcasts continue to grow in popularity, here are six shows players may want to add to their commute.
