What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I look forward to every episode of third man walking. In addition to getting some very useful insight into the mind of a career Poker player, his voice is so amazingly soothing, he helps me fall asleep. Thank you, Charlie! Keep doing what you’re doing. A big thanks and shout out from New Jersey.

Charlie is a remarkable story teller, and poker player. His podcast gives an inside look into the mind of a top live cash game poker player in modern day Los Angeles. Aside from the hand histories taken from some of Los Angeles’ largest public cash games; my personal favorite aspect of the podcast is the hosts’ commentary on current events inside the poker world. Hearing the unbiased, and at times, unfiltered opinions in regards to current events is refreshing and uncommon in the poker podcast space. I recommend any one with an interest in live cash game poker go back and listen to the full catalogue in its entirety.

One of the best poker podcasts out there. Charlie does a great job discussing the intricacies of grinding medium stakes and breaks down hands in a thought provoking way.

This is one of my favorite poker podcasts. I’m surprised it took so long for me to find it. Maybe put “Poker” in the title some how to help it appear when users are searching for poker podcasts. That might help the recommendation algorithm too. Keep up the great work and thank you.
