337. Big Game with Alan Keating, plus Blood Game with Jeffe Boats

James and Joe are in an actual studio, as they prepare for 'Big Game on Tour Uncut'. On Friday and Saturday (April 4th and 5th), they're streaming all 150 hands from the first session of 'BGOT' Season 1, ahead of the Season 2 premiere later this spring. The enigmatic Alan Keating - one of the stars of both seasons - will be making a guest appearance on the stream and joins the guys on the podcast to discuss what 'Big Game' fans can expect to see this weekend. He also reveals how his rivalry with Lex Veldhuis develops in the next series of TV shows. Plus, Alan reacts to a hand that Joe played on PokerGo in 'Hand of the Century of the Day'. Then, it's the return of the Poker in the Ears Book Club, as James and Joe delve into the poker-themed spy thriller 'Blood Game' and talk to the novel's author Jeffe Boats. Daniel Posey from the USA has also read the book, because it's the topic of 'Superfan vs Stapes' this week.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
