Winner of the 2021 Global Poker Award for Best Poker Podcast, Poker in the Ears takes you behind-the-scenes of the international poker circuit. Hosted by PokerStars commentators James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton, it’s a mostly uncensored take on the world of poker, told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes). The presenters 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 win prizes. 18+ BeGambleAware.org Play responsibly (MGA/B2C/213/2011)
