The newest poker podcast to join the PokerNews Podcast Network is the established show of Bernard Lee. Well-known as both a player and media personality in poker for more than a decade, Lee brings his industry experience and connections to the show for listeners' enjoyment.

While The Bernard Lee Poker Show only recently made its debut at PokerNews on Sept. 5, 2018, it's actually in its 11th year running. Lee has brought on a myriad of big-name guests from the poker industry, and not just the top players in the game.

"I enjoy listening to all of the podcasts on the network and am honored and humbled to be mentioned with these excellent shows."

Among them, former WSOP champs Doyle Brunson, Chris Moneymaker, John Cynn, Scott Blumstein, Qui Nguyen, Greg Merson, Jonathan Duhamel, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Joe Cada, Ryan Riess and Phil Hellmuth; WPT commentator Mike Sexton, ESPN commentators Norman Chad and Lon McEachern, poker superstars Daniel Negreanu, Erik Seidel, Dennis Phillips, Jason Mercier, and nearly every member of the 2008 through 2016 WSOP November Nine.

The show was once a central part of Rounder's Radio, one of the largest poker talk show radio stations in the world, and has also aired on Terrestrial Radio in Boston and Money Matters Radio Network. While it still airs on Boston Radio, the Bernard Lee Poker Show has found a new home here at PokerNews, where he joins other top poker shows like the PokerNews Podcast, Top Pair Podcast, All In with Evan Jarvis, True Gambling Stories, and LFG Podcast.

Transition to PokerNews

Lee joined PokerNews as a guest columnist during the summer of 2018, and is happy to now have his radio show on the PokerNews network.

"I am thrilled to be joining the PokerNews Podcast Family," Lee said. "I enjoy listening to all of the podcasts on the network and am honored and humbled to be mentioned with these excellent shows."

Lee hopes to expand his show's reach through PokerNews, and looks forward to what's in store.

"For over a decade, I have interviewed poker superstars, champions, rising newcomers and prominent industry personnel in the world of poker. Now, I am able to bring my show to an expanded audience through the PokerNews Podcast Network. I hope everyone will enjoy the show as much as I enjoy making it."

Lee brought the Bernard Lee Poker Show to PokerNews in style, debuting with Part One of his interview with one of the top names in the game right now — John Cynn, 2018 WSOP Main Event champion. The second part of the interview aired last week, and you can listen here if you missed it.

Cynn shared many a detail about his monumental victory and beyond during their lengthy interview, resulting in a real treat for listeners. Cynn also enjoyed the experience.

"My interview with Bernard Lee is and will be one of my most memorable," said Cynn. "Not only is he very prepared and makes you comfortable, but the experience goes beyond the questions themselves as he has shares his insight and extensive knowledge about the poker world. I thoroughly enjoyed being on his show and speaking with him on and off the record."

The Return of Joe Cada

You can always count on Lee's show to bring on some of the biggest names in the poker industry, including many of the hottest players in the game. The next guest on the show is another Main Event champion, and one that arguably had the best WSOP of all this year — Joe Cada. Cada, who has been on Lee's show before, looks forward to his return and spoke highly of Lee.

"No one works harder in the poker industry than Bernard [Lee]" -Joe Cada

"No one works harder in the poker industry than Bernard," Cada said of his interviewer. "He has not only been successful on the felt, but also off the felt with his writing, commentating and of course, his top rated radio show/podcast. It is always a pleasure to join him on his show."

The Bernard Lee Poker Show and the entire PokerNews family of podcasts is available at the PokerNews Podcast Network via audioboom. You can access previous episodes of The Bernard Lee Poker Show and also subscribe to the podcast here and follow Lee on Twitter @BernardLeePoker.
