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.
