Bob and Richard just announced on their podcast that they are ending the podcast in a few months. I'll definitely be sad to see it go since this podcast got me started in the AP world almost 10 years ago.

Is this the type of show that can continue with new hosts?

It would be interesting with different hosts.
Who do you think could pull it off that doesn't already have a show?

Without Bob Dancer, I just don't think it would be GWAE.

(Preemptive: I am not volunteering, and I am decidedly not voluntellable.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

Sad times indeed, but all good things come to an end.

I do listen to their show on YouTube occasionally. I will miss hearing it later on.

Is there a big enough hole there that the hole needs filling? I ask myself this.

I consider myself borderline passable at interviewing people.

Not to take over GWAE, of course. I just wonder if there is a big enough hole to fill with a substantially similar show. I also wonder if LCB would be interested in buying out the rights to GWAE.

If they did, I probably wouldn't even need any additional money to do the show. I could write companion articles, on occasion, based on the shows...so it would be almost the same as getting paid directly for doing the show.

There’s about a billion sports betting podcasts. I’m sure there’s a boatload of poker too.

I’m not sure there are many AP or even casino gambling podcasts.

The only other one that comes close is Risk of Ruin which is more of a documentary style rather than a live conversation.

Wow! This is the first I've heard of this.

As to taking it over, I think not. I co-hosted the show for a while. It was a time drain and I made little revenue from it. My main motive was the additional publicity and secondly it was fun for a while. Between losing interest and being spread very thin, I mentioned to Bob I wanted to leave, but would wait for a suitable replacement. Fortunately, Munch was willing to come back, so my leaving was good for me and good for the show.

When the third edition of my book finally arrives I plan to make an appearance to discuss my revamped chapter on slots. It will be good to do the show one last time, assuming the offer still stands. Not only was I a co-host, but one of the most frequent guests as well.

Just ask Terrence, he does a regular Poker podcast.
