How this won best podcast goes to show what a joke the poker awards are in general. This podcast is inferior to many others. I encourage you to pass.

Hello gents, I’ve been a longtime listener and fan of all your work, and this podcast is no exception. Joe, your dumb quizzes continue to make me laugh out loud, especially this latest one with Norman Chad. And James, you always do a superb job with interviewing guests and superfans as well as...Read full review »

Easy listening now the voice is fixed. On point every week. Poker, films and the odd special guest. What more do you need. Keep it up lads

This is the best poker podcast by far. Hartigan and Stapes have very complementary personalities, the banter is fantastic. Joe's stories are freaking amazing and only sometimes made upRead full review »

I’ve been watching Joe & James for years and have learned tonnes from their commentary and was witness to the vastly improving quality of the filler content. Now delighted by the podcast. Yay!

These two jacks in the hole bring all of the news and shenanigans from the circut and the latest from the pokerwire. Event coverage, interviews with the pros, silly games and bits all delivered by Stapes and Hartigan as we huff and bray down the pokerroad of life. Enhances your mood when you...Read full review »

Have been listening to PITE for a couple of years now. When I first discovered the pod I smashed the backlog in a few days. Current ever since and always looking forward to the next episode. Listen for up to date poker news and live event coverage, amusing stories of Stapes’ antics, regular...Read full review »

Had drifted away for a while but the Stadium Series pulled me back in. Let the games begin . . . again!
Kari Bane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/20
I have been loosely following Stapes since two jacks in the hole. Still one of the best podcasts ever made. It very well could have been the first I ever listened to back in the mid 2000’s. Seeing and hearing his growth over the years and the great comradery between he and James keeps me coming...Read full review »
Rock of jabroni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/20
This is a great podcast that I look forward to listening to whenever I see a new episode drop. Joe and James have great chemistry and are a duo that rivals any of the greats including Kenny and Dolly, Brooks and Dunn, Batman and Robin, Walter and Jesse and Sonny and Cher. Each week they discuss...Read full review »

Been Listening to the Podcast for years. Good Mix of Poker and Non Poker content. Keep up the Great work Guys and Happy Birthday Joe.
Funnell317 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/23/20
Cracking pod cast which is poker based at heart but has something for everyone, from film reviews to poker news. (Joes dumb games will definitely make you smile) If your new to poker or a total card shark, this is the podcast for you.
Stringbop via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/22/20
I stumbled across this podcast exactly one year ago and could not believe the sheer entertainment and quality of it. Stapes and Hartigan are beyond compare and the entire podcast is a riot. If you think it is just about poker you would be misinformed as their discussions of TV and movies are the...Read full review »

I enjoy the chemistry between Joe and James! Its fun to listen to! Its great to listen to them in these times of the pandemic. Each episode give me an opportunity to zone out wherever i am. Thank you Poker in the Ears.

You guys are doing a great job. I really enjoy your pod cast. In 2017 I was 5 feet away from stapes at WSOP as he was preparing to go on camera but didn’t say hello as not to bother him and I still regret it.
glennlink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/20
This is an entertaining show that covers a wide variety of poker and pop culture topics. Great for casual poker fans and is a good addition to the rotation for anyone that loves poker content.
DanTh3Man16 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/10/20
Great podcast. Not the boring dry poker and strat talk of other shows. Hartigan and Stapes are 2 of the absolute best in the game at commentary and pop culture talk. Great chemistry. You should definitely listen.
Flippity1024 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/20
Stapes and Hartigan are the best! Really funny and entertaining. Poker news, movie and TV reviews, great guests, interviews, games, giveaways and shenanigans. Podcast domination reimplementation!
Robinvydeo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/29/20
Love the show guys, perfect mix of topics and great chemistry between you both. Can’t wait to appear as SuperFan.
sitruc888 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/20
Bring it back with the bumper, also please come back to Australia PokerStars, all I ever wanted was a hoodie but my point only ever mounted up to a stuffed donkey, oh yeah awesome podcast 👍
Lucky Cards7 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/27/20
Been listening to you guys while on the poker grind recently and I love that it’s poker-esque but enough non-poker to keep things interesting! Keep it up stapes and James
pballislife via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/26/20
I love these two guys. Great podcast. Better than Mike the Mouth. I think that guy does his podcast in his basement with his girlfriend and cat.
Paulyoh74 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/15/20
I’ve been listening to Poker in the Ears for a few years now and it’s one of my favorite podcasts in my current rotation. Touching on poker news with a light hand, Hartigan and Stapes highlight various names from the poker world and poker adjacent personalities in a fun, energetic way. I consider...Read full review »

Sorry guys, I’ll love you dearly but this weeks tv/film and no poker just didn’t do it for me.
Shaun69uk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/20
While this podcast is about poker, you don’t have to be a poker fan to appreciate it. Stapes and Hartigan bring humor, intelligence and fun to all their content: poker news, event recaps, interviewing poker-related people, forcing those people to play silly pun-based games, discussing movies and...Read full review »

So glad to have you two keeping me entertained while I drive my proper London taxi around London.
dadalad via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/06/20
Hartigan and Stapes make Poker in the Ears easily the best pod in poker. They transcend that definition and are always my first listen. A simple request: No more extended breaks fellas! Hopefully the powers that be realize the gem they have and back it with the promotion it deserves!

If you are a poker fan, or just a fan of entertainment, then you should have downloaded Poker in the Ears already. Where some go over the top, Poker in The Ears is the perfect balance of poker news, movie reviews, personal stories and dumb games (their words, not mine) They consistently have...Read full review »
JTLC0711 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/24/19
Very entertaining duo. Poker skills not required for this listen. Lots of pop culture topics including movies, tv shows, etc. Poker is in the air just not the major aroma at all times. Always enjoy the Stapes updates...seems like a regular Joe living his best life. Great team chemistry and...Read full review »

This is one of the funniest and informative podcast out there. Joe and James have a great chemistry and lots of funny stories. I highly recommend this podcast!
Taipei Clinter via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/10/19
I listen to a few podcasts weekly. Poker in the wars is one of my main ones, great for poker news, film and TV shows and just great comedy.
Fox04k via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 12/09/19
It's obvious how much work goes into the making of this podcast, and it's not just that Hartigan and Stapleton are both quick-witted personalities. Another advantage this show has over every other is the resources and access that PokerStars brings to the table. It's literally embedded...Read full review »

Great podcast, merry Christmas
KingPatrickJ via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/04/19
Love listening to these two. They bounce off each other so well. Started listening to this for the poker content but really, you don’t need to like poker to like this podcast. Love listening to their reviews of films and tv too.
danb_1985 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/03/19
Hartigan and Stapes bring a great take on the topics. Entertaining and a must listen. Thank you gentlemen!!
hogiro via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/29/19
More than just a poker podcast, also has discussions on movie, TV, and comedy. Reminds you that poker is supposed to be fun.
Crooked gumbo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/29/19
Funny, relevant and immensely enjoyable to listen, Stapes and Hartigan brighten up my days with their show. Poker news, poker celebrity interviews, current movie/tv and video game reviews never disappoint. I’m looking forward to following you guys on this podcast and Twitch. Keep up the great work!
Drbranko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/19
Funny poker podcast that have everything from Poker news, movie talk and some fantastic humor from the best duo in Poker, James Hartigan & Joe Stapleton !

Great way to have fun and stay connected to the poker world!

Great podcast but don’t have the volume too loud, joes voice will grind your ear drums harder than Negreanu grinds POY
alwayscomingdeuce via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/26/19
I’ve been listening to this podcast since episode 1. Great podcast! There’s opportunities for fans of the show to appear as guests or 'Super Fans' as well as other well known guests in the poker world, TV and more. If ‘poker’ in the title has put you off, I would reconsider. There’s...Read full review »

The best podcast since MJ and Adam! I look forward too it every week
twisted beaver eater via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/19
I’ve been listening since Episode 1 - my favourite poker podcast and a great offering from PokerStars. James and Joe really know their stuff, get some great guests and don’t take themselves (or the game itself) too seriously. Definitely worth subscribing to if you’re even the most casual poker fan.
Andy Gibbons via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/22/19
You do t have to be a poker fan to enjoy the show. Lots of pop culture. Lots of fun trivia. And lots of silliness! Catch Stapes doing stand-up too. His vegas show was great.
