Thus, the show marks the arrival of the first poker talk show on a national radio station in the United States. If the audience meets expectations, SiriusXM may expand the project and order new episodes with Schulman as host.
In this way, Nick Schulman recalled on the premiere how he discovered the world of games in his childhood. “For me, it all started in the pool hall when I was about 11 years old. That was my first experience,” the American said, narrating the first steps of his career.
In addition, the Poker Hall of Famer explained that his interest in poker grew rapidly after playing a tournament in the same pool hall. “It was simply amazing. I can’t describe in words how much I loved every aspect of playing live poker,” he stated during the show.

Schulman Recalls Participation in Molly Bloom’s Game
In addition to memories from the beginning of his career, Nick Schulman shared stories from his days playing cash games in New York. Among them, he highlighted his participation in a game organized by Molly Bloom, a character whose story was portrayed in the movie “Molly’s Game”.
However, recalling the episode, Schulman revealed a curious detail about the experience. “I played in Molly’s game. I remember being told to tip her. I gave about 30 thousand dollars, but I never got a seat in the game again,” the host joked.
Finally, Nick Schulman welcomed the first guests of Poker Weekly. Nick Wright and Taylor von Kriegenbergh participated in the debut and analyzed a hand recently played by Wright. The show concluded its first episode by reinforcing its proposal to combine stories, interviews, and discussions about poker.
