6. Just Hands Poker Podcast

A podcast with high-quality hand analysis, the Just Hands Poker hosts dissect hands from live poker games stage by stage and offer tips on how to play better in each situation. Although it does require some prior poker knowledge to understand the concepts and lingo, the podcast is still an excellent source of information for in-depth hand analysis. 

7. DAT Poker Podcast

Unlike most other poker podcasts, DAT has a legendary poker player at the helm, with Daniel Negreanu hosting along with Adam Schwartz, Terrence Chan and Ross Henry. Content ranges from anecdotes about the poker world, breakdowns of poker hands, game strategies and occasional interviews with other celebrity players. While not the best podcast in terms of quality and content, the inclusion of Daniel Negreanu, one of the best poker players in history makes it well worth a listen at least once, maybe twice. 

8. Carrot Corner Podcast

Hosted by a professional poker player specialising in 6-Max online poker, Carrot Corners focuses on teaching listeners about poker strategy, hand ranges, poker math, tilt and hand analysis, and has a few guest interviews thrown in as well. Although mainly focused around online poker, the tips in the podcast can still be helpful for live poker players looking to improve. 

9. Postflop Poker Podcast

The Postflop Poker Podcast has episodes with an in-depth look at everything to do with the post-flop stage of the game, including strategies for pot control and stack sizes. The Postflop Poker Podcast also shares opinions on poker programs and occasional interviews. There aren’t many podcasts covering the post-flop stage in such detail, making Postflop Poker Podcast an excellent resource for improving skills in that area of the game.

10. Oldies, but still goodies

Not all poker podcasts are updated regularly; in some cases, the creators have decided to take a break from the podcast game. They might not cover current events in the poker world, but older podcasts like the Two Plus Two Pokercast and Ante Up Magazine Podcast can still have excellent poker strategies and tips that are always relevant to the game even though both were discontinued as of 2023.
