John McAllister
The Setting Trick
Conversations with World Class Bridge Players
Hi, my name is John McAllister. I have spent the past six years playing bridge all around the world. My goal is to win a world championship. Doing so requires getting into the minds of the world's best players. I can not think of a better, more fun way to do so, than to interview great bridge players and share their insights in podcast format.

Definitely worth a listen!
Love the podcast! John gets a lot of guests on who are not only legendary bridge players but interesting characters, so you often get a laugh and some interesting stories!

Is this a joke?
Is this podcast supposed to be about the interviewer or about good bridge players? It's hard to tell! I have been a life long fan of the game but am not loving these interviews.

Great Bridge Talk!
Listened to the first two podcasts on the way to and from the Philadelphia NABC. Needs a little polish in script and dead air to be great, but all the content was very amusing! Looking forward to the next one, keep it up!
