The Table 1 Podcast
Two Las Vegas poker pros give you a seat at their high-stakes private game, sharing wild stories and interviewing the characters who play in it.
This is an inside look at a specific, high-stakes Las Vegas poker game and the culture that surrounds it. It's part interview show with poker pros and entrepreneurs, and part reality-style vlog documenting the hosts' and their friends' gambling exploits. The show aims to capture the "degenerate" fun and camaraderie of their private game, moving beyond pure strategy to focus on the personalities and stories.
“Unlike many strategy-focused poker podcasts, this show centers on the narrative and characters of a single, private high-stakes game. The blend of long-form interviews with vlog-style "reality" content from their summer sessions gives it a unique, insider feel.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Hosts Justin Young and Art Parmann favor a relaxed, conversational approach, often feeling like a chat between friends rather than a formal interview. They typically open with a light, personal question (like a nickname preference) to build rapport before diving into a guest's origin story. They let guests speak for long, uninterrupted stretches, following up on interesting anecdotes to probe deeper into their background, career turning points, and the "why" behind their choices. There's less emphasis on aggressive pushback and more on creating a comfortable space for candid storytelling.
The show alternates between two main formats: casual, long-form interviews with guests and vlog-style narratives following the "Table 1" crew's gambling adventures. The primary hosts, Justin Young and Art Parmann, use a conversational and humorous tone. Interviews often feel like a chat between friends, while the vlogs are more raw, documenting the highs and lows of their sessions.
