The Poker Show Returns Monday
Online poker radio show The Poker Show makes a welcome return to the airwaves on Monday, which a whole host of new features. Jesse May, Matt Broughton and Padraig Parkinson will once again be in the studio and joining them on the first show will be guest presenter Neil Channing.

Guest presenters will be one of many show improvements, for the show which is now on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week. Paul Spillane, of sponsors Boylepoker, said, "This season will see many new and improved segments and features on The Poker Show. The weekly run now starts on Monday with regular guest presenters, there will be more structure making it easier for people to access the sections they want via podcast, and the big names will continue to drop in with exclusives and controversial conversations. Last season proved there was a market for the show, this season we plan to prove we are the best in that market, giving listeners the most up-to-the-minute news, views, and interviews from around the poker world."

The previous season was not without a few hiccups, mainly technical ones, but it was also the rawness of the show that was the appeal. The poker show was a big hit with poker enthusiasts and pros alike and anyone who is anyone in poker has already been a guest (and yours truly too). We can't wait for what this season brings, especially as the WSOPE and EPT are just round the corner.

After these seats have gone the only way to play the event will be through online qualification. ipo
