Episode 194 – 16/10/2020 – The Only Way To Play It with Peter Alson

While James was off sick, Joe turned 48 and moved house. He also failed to keep his promise to take a break from Hold'em, and has continued to run horribly. (He seems intent on sharing his pain, telling bad beat stories to anyone who'll listen!) Fortunately, he did find time to read 'The Only Way To Play It', a new poker-themed novel by Peter Alson. Peter is the guest on this week's show, talking about his career as a writer and poker player, his latest book, and his previous works, including 'Take Me to the River' (about the 2005 WSOP) and 'One of a Kind' (a biography of Stu Unger, co-authored by Nolan Dalla). Finally, Cameron Kight from the USA competes for #PokerInTheEars merch in 'Superfan vs Stapes', answering questions about music of the 2010s.

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.
