  • ricekrispiessssss
    Great Show
    The guests are always great, with a good mix of top players and historical figures in the poker world. Interviewer does a lot of research beforehand and usually gets the most out of the subject.
  • Jfkdkxkmzmwio

  • PK10908
    Excellent podcast
    Just discovered this podcast. It’s been great going through the back catalog and devouring old episodes. Fingers crossed for a Phil Laak episode sometime in the future!
  • TGalbs
    Wonderful

  • figureskaterpaige

  • berzett
    Great Stories
    Love listening to these stories when I’m driving. It is really cool to listen to the different backgrounds and how these people got started. Definitely my favorite podcast right now.
  • FattMatt22
    One of the OKist poker pods
    I love the guest I love the stories the guest tells. What I don’t love is the host. If you’re going to do a podcast then give us some background into the story. I hate when a guest is telling us a story and we have no clue what kinda time frame the story comes from. Yes you can gather bits and pieces and make a educated guess for yourself but we shouldn’t have to do that. The host needs to be the one to get all that information for us.

  • Wspmusic
    Very Entertaining, Great Insight!
    I finally found a podcast that I love! So far I have listened to about 10 episodes and I can’t stop. Great interview questions and insight into the industry and rise of poker. I joined the boom in the early 2000s so I particularly love the old school interviews with Antonio, Daniel, Mike Sexton, etc! Keep up the great work
  • TheRealBeauRyan

  • GabLiz17
    Awesome content
    Awesome guests and stories of how this successful poker players began their journey. Also, more than just poker!
  • Ky Sawdust
    Great guests and interviews!
    A who’s who of poker players - both classics and new upcoming talent. Julio Rodriquez does a great job of drawing his guests out of their comfort zones with a few provocative questions. Just a fun podcast to listen to as a break from ”technical” poker.
  • Smurf Turf 201591
    Best Poker Podcast
    Julio does great work preparing and interviewing these great poker players. It's an engaging and fun conversation and you get to know a lot about the players, both on and off the felt.
  • sglukhoy
    Very entertaining
    I’ve enjoyed every podcast I’ve listened to. Interesting life stories these players share about themselves.
  • sleepingskull
    Outstanding Poker Stories
    Best poker profiles. Really look forward to every new episode. Very well researched and comfortable interviews. Highly recommend.
  • Saint Miles
    No Better Poker Podcast Available
    This is the definetive poker podcast available. We get to here candid stories from the Godfathers of the Modern Poker Age, from Doyle to Greenstien to Zolotow and Deeb, to the Young Guns of the Game like, Mizrachi, Berkey and Bicknell. Also, the people who make poker grow and become safer and more accessible to all of us, such as Sexton, Linda Johnson, Mori, Jack McClellan, and Matt Savage. So many I cant list them all here. This is a special collection of poker history. The gems are in there! Listen to them all.
  • Dr. Nashville
    Great podcast

  • Ed Ek 1234X

  • notdouglevin
    Fantastic podcast
    Great mix of poker legends and new stars. Thank you for preserving these great stories and insights in a fun and portable medium. Such a bummer when I pull into my job, turn off the podcast, and wish I was at the table. Keep it up Julio!
  • lolokjuik
    Great Podcast!
    The conversations about current and history of poker with poker pros are great to hear. Julio does a great job.
  • Czech2
    Awesome
    Been listening to your podcast for a while and it is great. Just finished the Eli Elezra podcast and that was one of the best podcasts you guys have had.
  • Matt Tubby
    Great podcast!
    It’s great to hear all the gambling stories from a wide variety of piker pros! I’ll be binge downloading all the podcasts! Keep up the great work!
  • Poker Fan In CO
    Great podcast
    Great podcast, really well done. Very interesting, entertaining, and fun to listen to.
  • profmontefresh
    Simply the Best podcast
    PokerStories is a fantastic podcast dedicated to highlighting h deep, rich narrative of poker and its history. The guests are amazing, and the host is knowledgeable and really good at guiding a conversation. Overall, excellent podcast. It’s better than the others. Trust me, Ive listened to them all.
  • Rlangley01
    Stories are personal and entertaining
    The host, Julio Rodriguez, has a great ability to bring the personal side of the poker pro out to the public. He baits the hook and casts the line, and the player just starts talking. I just started listening a few weeks ago, and I am hooked. The Steve Zolotow interview has been my favorite so far, but highly enjoyed Jay Farber, Michael Mizrachi, Chris Moneymaker, and just finished Kristen Bicknell. My long business drives are not boring anymore. Keep up the great stories.

    Good insight into the lives of poker professionals. Interviewees are surprisingly honest about their high risk lives.
  • Becker715
    Loving it
    Great Podcast. Loving the content. Would love to see you get Berkey or Soto on here. Would also like to see some of the big names in Vlogging (Neeme, Owen, Burton, Vibes, Boski).
  • kayjoes23
    Great Interviews!
    I never review anything but wanted to send a quick opinion. I love the podcast and listen to every one of them, sometimes multiple times. I recently listened to the Grinder interview and loved it all except the fact that his wife or girlfriend kept talking throughout the whole interview. I’m sure she’s a very fine person, but you were interviewing him, not her. It was just very irritating to me. I may be the only one bothered with that. If so I apologize. You can tell me to go fly a kite. Keep up the good work👍🏼
  • PT14363859
    Good listen
    Nice to. Listen to to and from work
  • Wcrase01
    Great podcast
    Outstanding idea that’s well executed. Hearing all these players give their stories in their own words is both interesting and fun.
  • GEOabc
    Love the format
    I’m a fan of podcasts that do a long in-depth interview, and these poker players usually seem to have lots of interesting tales to share. Good for those long drives. One of my favorite podcasts.
  • JB6255
    Interesting interviews - highly recommended
    Barry G, Daniel Negreanu, and Maria Ho all quality. I really enjoy this podcast. Straightforward show that delivers.
  • Codowlsky Polopumus
    Great Behind-The-Scenes Look at The Great Game!
    It's really interesting to hear the poker greats chat in a relaxed setting about their experiences at the tables but also outside of poker. I feel like I always pick up a nugget of helpful info with each episode. Keep up the good work guys!
