Raise the River Podcasts.

In addition to the hospital radio work, I wanted to explore the new-fangled world of podcasting. It also gave me the opportunity to produce material on a topic I have a keen interest in - poker. Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not a mad gambler or anything. I am interested in the game but I only play for insignificant stakes. I'm more interested in the industry, the culture and stories behind it.

Raise the River is a strong UK poker community. At the start of the year I offered to produce some podcasts that focused on community news, interviews with the forum members and poker strategy discussion, all with a hint of light-hearted seasoning.

Each podcast has developed and tested a new skill, from technical production to developing a voice for radio (how corny does that sound?). With any luck each podcast demonstrates a natural progression from complete amateur to, well, still amateur.
