In the early days of poker, the only place players could hear stories, news, or talk to other grinders was at the tables. With the rise of podcasts over the last several years, that has changed considerably.
Players can now enjoy poker news, interviews, and strategy discussions as they drive to work or hit the gym. Poker podcasts all have developed their own niche.
Some shows are based on strategy or news, while others are simply for entertainment. The great thing about podcasts is they are generally posted as free content. As podcasts continue to grow in popularity, here are six shows players may want to add to their commute.
1 – The Orbit
This is one of the newest podcasts and it is hosted by Robbie Strazynski, founder of CardplayerLifestyle.com The podcast takes a unique approach by presenting a poker round table discussion. Previous guests include such poker elites as Phil Galfond and Daniel Negreanu.
The show debuted the official launch of Twitch’s official exclusive poker channel. Strazynski plays host to such topics as:
- The return of live poker after the pandemic.
- Collusion issues in the online poker realm.
- What’s happening in the online poker community.
2 – The Mindset Advantage
This podcast is hosted by mindset coach and author Elliot Roe and is distributed monthly. In each show, Roe invites talks with a poker pro about how to improve your mindset and become a better player.
The host was featured in Jonathan Little’s book Excelling at No Limit Hold’em. Roe was highlighted under the mental game section, authoring the chapter Hypnotherapy for a Successful Mindset.

3 – DAT Poker Podcast
Three hosts are featured on the DAT Poker Podcast. The show includes 
DanielNegreanu, Adam Schwartz, and Terrence Chan (hence the DAT

A unique part of the show is when they entertain voicemail questions. Fans can call in and leave a question via voicemail, and the hosts answer the questions in the next episode.
4 – Tournament Poker Edge Podcast
