The best thing about this podcast isn’t about the hand breakdowns themselves, but the deep reflection and introspection that emerges from the insightful conversation that follows. Hearing many perspectives has helped me think about the game in a refreshing new way.

This podcast could be subtitled, "What Really Smart People are Thinking Right Now." The episodes feature the brightest minds in a wide variety of fields. They start by analyzing a poker hand but often branch out into... well, who knows where the conversation will go? I have to keep a pen...Read full review »

Loved the recent episode featuring Mike Shaw. Will defiantly be a regular listener.

I started listening about a month ago, this podcast is terrific. I have a very rudimentary understand of poker, and really enjoy hearing the language about poker(under the gun, the nuts, gutshot, etc ) and looking up those terms. Does anyone know what book Peter Svidler mentions in episode 15? It...Read full review »

Really enjoy it. It’s refreshing and different from most poker pods. If you ever want a story from an unknown rec let me know. I’ll take KK and discuss how it’s related to my cancer recovery.

Jen does a great job of getting the guests comfortable, and that allows them to let their guard down and truly tell what they think and feel. This talent for getting guests to open up is truly special. She is up there with Terry Gross and Marc Maron as the top long-form interviewers out there....Read full review »

One of the smartest podcasts out there

The show hit its peak when Jennifer had global poker superstar David Lappin on.

My favorite thing about this amazing show is how Jen cuts right to it with her guests. It’s a rare talent. The concept of the show is brilliant too. And the production quality is second to none in this genre. Highly recommend!

I’ve listened to all your episodes. So many of them have been very very good. Your brother, Jaime K, Chris Moneymaker and so many more. Liv Boree is so intelligent, she tells such a good story and finds her open window through this closed door. Really great episode!!! 5 Stars!!!

The Grid has become my fav podcast of any genre! Fascinating glimpse into poker as each guest illuminates a different facet/dimension of this beloved game. Host Jen Shahade tastefully navigates each episode providing some of her own valuable insights while engaging with guests. I’m on board for...Read full review »

I love this podcast! Always entertains me and I appreciate the variety of guests. What a unique idea.
swishywaschy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/20
Very cool idea for a poker podcast. I love it. Jen is a beautiful woman and her voice is so sultry. I could literally listen to her talk about anything. I’m not trying to be a perv,sorry. If you’re into poker definitely give it a listen.
I#URMOM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/20
This a terrific podcast, with great content from The host and her all-star lineup of guests. Ms Shahade is a terrific interviewer, and the episodes are concisely edited so lots of content in ~40 minutes. My only knock is that Ms Shahade has a impressive vocal fry, and its hard to listen to...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing and it is tough to name a better one. Only thing, would it be possible to add links for videos of the hands in the description? I think it would be cool to have an easy way to watch the hand before or after the podcast.
jbhweinberg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/20
Fun for poker pros. Helpful for normal people trying to improve their play. I like it best when it goes off the rails and we learn about the guests, the host, and how their minds work.
LeGrandPele via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/20
Jennifer’s a pros pro and her interview skills are undeniable. Her discussion with Luckychewy (Andrew Lichtenberger) is a masterclass in asking follow-up questions that draw out pure gold for her audience. Cannot recommend enough.
BradleyBradley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
I got to play next to Jennifer in day 1a of the wsop main event this year. She was a pleasure to talk to and I learned a ton just by watching her play. This podcast has been informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work, and thanks for being so nice!
Celtshark via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
This show is so much fun. Don’t skip it.
Murder, etc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
The strategy discussions on each individual hand are high level enough newer players can follow it. The non-hand discussions give you more of a guide on mindsets while playing, which I find really useful. And great fun overall. Jen is the best!

Really challenging podcast, because how to play every poker combo? Thanks Jene for this amazing podcast, xoxo form Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I LOVE this podcast. Jen is a WONDERFUL host and the idea of the Grid is soooo cool.
Kristy Arnett via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/19
The Grid's main focus is great poker players talking about the interesting hands they've played. But through those stories a lot of great strategy content bubbles up to the surface. It's become one of the poker podcasts I can't wait to hear.Read full review »

This appears to be a poker hands breakdown podcast like many other podcasts out there. But host, Jennifer Shahde, takes each conversation far beyond the "I called when I should have raised" conventions of the genre. She brings her own prodigious curiosity and intellect to conversations...Read full review »

Enjoyed all the podcasts so far and looking forward to more episodes. Jake Abdalla describing heads up with 8-2 suited versus Phil Ivey had me laughing. Great interview and conversations with all the guests so far Jen. As Jake said, “you miss all the shots you never take,” so don’t give up on...Read full review »

A surprisingly new way to discuss poker players fun hands. Great editing and super entertaining!

The idea behind the content is brilliant and the execution from the title to the music and Jenn’s questions and flow is phenomenal. Can’t wait for future pods!

I haven’t enjoyed content from Jen this much since her OFC series on RIO. Intelligent and fun with interesting guests and fascinating anecdotes. Looking forward to the next 165 episodes!
Dr Marc B via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/19
Clever idea, but more importantly the host does a great job interviewing her guests.
@#$&%-+=1234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/19
I love the poker, but what really impressed me was Jen’s amazing job drawing out each story and the “inner dialogue” that we’ve never heard in such a way. Great series and I look forward to listening to each one!

OK I'll cop to being an FOJ (friend of Jenn), but everything she does is great and episode #1 with Lex V. was already highly enjoyable. Jenn is a pro behind the mic, she has come up with a great concept, and one figures to learn a lot about the thinking processes and lives of some top poker...Read full review »
