The poker recessions/squeeze continues to show its reality face … podcast junkies have probably already noticed that Hold\’em Radio is down. But is it done? We\’ll see. I saw Wade, the HER chief, at Binion\’s just yesterday … he was chit-chatting with some people during one of the daily tournaments there … but there was no broadcasting going on, and no signage left up on their studio/booth in the Binion\’s poker room.
For all its problems with audio quality, Hold\’em Radio was first when it came to giving poker ramblers a home for their voices. Beyond the Table got its start there, as did Lou Krieger\’s Keep Flopping Aces. While the BTT crew has been independent for about a year and will presumably stay that way, other passionate podcasters may likely follow in Lou\’s footsteps and defect to Rounders Radio. I\’ll be personally curious to hear the difference. Because while we\’ve enjoyed doing BTT on our own, can\’t say that we have fully mastered the audio process yet. Just last week we recorded probably the funniest \”Angry Julie\” segment in audio history … only we didn\’t. I mean the new software said it was recording, but …
Internet radio is hard!
