301. Patrick Marber

It's the #PITE300 after-party, as James and Joe recap what happened behind-the-scenes in the run up to their live show in London, and what happened at the poker tables afterwards. Patrick Marber's name came up a couple of times at The Hippodrome, and the actor-writer-director is the guest on this week's episode. Patrick talks about playing in the 'Archway Game' with Vicky Coren and the Boatman brothers, writing the award-winning play 'Dealer's Choice' – revealing that one of the characters is based on Barny Boatman – and discusses some of his characters from the classic comedy series 'The Day Today'. Meanwhile, James relives his experience playing, streaming, and cashing the #SundayMillion for the very first time, and Jude Arrowsmith from the UK picks science as his specialist subject in 'Superfan vs Stapes', competing for a Bronze #PowerPass.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
