Joe(y) Ingram (Papi) etc, is a brand of its own, so maybe this is the key...... to promote himself and his own brand, because that is where the real value is.
As far as I'm concerned, his podcasts will always be the go to podcasts in the poker industry. They are the ones people want to view above all others, and the ones that guests want to be on above all others.
The same applies with his impromptu or loosely planned streamed commentaries of games. These are him being natural and unscripted, which is his strength.
It appears that podcasts are difficult to monetize, but with every podcast made his own brand value is re-enforced.

Either way i'm happy if he's happy , doesn't affect me I just personally don't watch it
I think LiveAtTheBike is doing something great for the poker community with live streaming cash games 5/days a week and actively trying to make their product better and better. I've been friends with Ryan Feldman prior to him getting involved with LATB and I think he has done an amazing job so far at growing the product. He asked me if I would be interested in doing some type of show for LATB and I thought it would be a good opportunity to help out a friend and support a company in poker that is trying to do positive things for the community instead of ****ing them over.
It's the first type of partnership I've done like this in poker and I'm still figuring out exactly what the format for the show will be but I have good ideas on a few different fronts on how to make it something that LATB regulars enjoy and new people to LATB will enjoy.
My main objective is to create something that helps to improve LATB awareness in the poker community and turn more poker fans into regular watchers of the live shows and on-demand content
I've found that I actually enjoy working with other creative people after being solo with poker and on my own content for so long. I kind of enjoy the idea of being apart of some type of team who also want to do cool things.

Where else could he possibly have taken his channel? Talking about the big girl grind and the good ol online days isn't going to get him anywhere. I'm glad he's moved on to bigger and better things.
I don't think it is DEAD but it certainly isn't what it was. High stakes play is much more spread out now and the regulars at the stakes now are the same regulars that were there a couple years ago. My relationships were much stronger within the PLO community when I started the podcast and now they are spread out all over the poker world and outside the poker world.

I am def not out of the podcast game, I think my ability to conversate with other people is what I am best at and it is what I enjoy doing the most BY FAR. I wanted to test out a couple different ideas with other video content and now we will see how those efforts will pay off. I think I executed some of the ideas really well, some of them very bad and others meh. I think my biggest problem is that I get too many different ideas for video types and it all scrambles up inside my brain before I lose track of the main focus. My idea with some of the mass audience content was to get new viewers to the channel that would never check out a 1-2 hour podcast and turn them into regular watchers.
