Iain Cheyne (Big_Iain & Irishpokerrankings.com) and Nicky O'Donnell (Nickyod & Ie.pokernewsheadlines) have joined forces to produce a brand new radio show for the Irish Poker player.

Irish Poker Radio is a brand new Radio Podcast that you can download every week ( more than once during poker festivals) and listen to what is going on and get updates on the latest news, results, rankings, gossip and a whole lot more.

Currently Irish Poker radio is hosted at Irish Poker Rankings and the first show can be found at:

http://www.irishpokerrankings.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=187:irish-poker-radio-1-w-paul&catid=42:irish-poker-radio&Itemid=64

As active members of the poker community we would appreciate any feedback you can give us to help make this show one which you want to hear and listen to, whether playing online or playing live via your IPod.

Each episode we be available on Friday each week with live episodes coming from the Waterford masters and Midlands poker open. (more live broadcasts to be confirmed)

The Irish Poker Radio Podcast will be available shortly via Itunes and I will post the link as soon as it is confirmed.

This inaugural show kicks off with an with all the coverage of the Irish in vegas and we talk about the quantity and quality of poker in Ireland. Your Hosts Iain Cheyne and Nicky O'Donnell bring a bit of life to the Irish Poker scene.

Best of luck with it.

Great initiative. I liked the first show but I would recommend you looking into the volume between segments. Some of the fillers are quite loud compared to the rest of the podcast.

Keep 'em coming!

Have you tried any other podcast players, ones that show time elapsed or time remaining are nice. Just being nit picky but its nice to know the length of the podcast. No other suggestions really.

I'm failing to download it as an mp3, when I right click the media player and choose download song it brings me to a bad url.

I'm not sure why that is but I'm sure Iain will respond to this in the morning. I know he's playing a live event tonight.

I was very happy with the show as a first effort, especially considering Iain and I never met in person until we recorded it.

We'll resolve the volume and sound quality issues for the next show.

If you have any ideas for guests, can you fill me in?

big_iain · 07-07-2009 12:56am

Thanks for the kind messages of support. I have received quite a few.

If there are any topics you would like us to cover then please post and we will try to fit them in.

NickyOD · 09-07-2009 1:45pm

We're recording the second show today. Hopefully we'll get to talk to Nicky Power from Vegas later. Plenty of other good interviews with Irish players lined up. Looking forward to it.

Also thanks to all the Irish in Vegas who listened to the first show and gave us feedback.

Good luck to everyone left in the ME. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

I don't know of anyone else doing an Irish poker show. If you are referring to messyjays show then they were not the first either.

This show is not for Americans or for the UK, it is for Irish Poker. We do cover other poker news related topics, but normally with an Irish Slant. This show is for the Irish Poker scene.

Have a listen and see if you don't like it.

5starpool · 09-07-2009 2:25pm

Ah sure ye are years behind lads, musician and BigDragon were doing these way back when

Anyways, best of luck lads, since the above ones died after about 4/5 podcasts there has been little with an Irish slant on it. I may listen to the one later at some point.

The best thing to do with good ideas is to make them better.

The response shows there is plenty of room in the market and I believe Jesse and Matt's show is wrapping up next week.
