When and Where the Show Airs
Every Saturday night, starting July 18, the program will occupy the 8 p.m. ET slot on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio, channel 82. The six‑episode run will conclude in early August, with the final broadcast airing on the Saturday that falls on August 1. Listeners across North America can tune in via the SiriusXM app, satellite radio, or the channel’s online stream.

In addition, listeners will hear behind‑the‑scenes insights from televised tournaments and commentary on the evolving landscape of online and live poker. The format is designed to be both educational and entertaining, making it accessible to newcomers while still rewarding seasoned players.
Nick Schulman: A Poker Hall of Famer
Schulman’s résumé reads like a poker bible. He entered the professional circuit at 19, became the youngest World Poker Tour champion in 2005, and has since amassed over $27 million in live tournament earnings. His eight World Series of Poker bracelets, including a recent win in the $1,500 HORSE event, cement his status as one of the game’s elite. Beyond the tables, Schulman has been a prominent commentator on PokerGO’s “High Stakes Poker,” “High Stakes Duel,” and WSOP broadcasts. In announcing the new show, he said:
"I'm honored to be on SiriusXM talking about poker, a game that means so much to me and so many of us, having a platform like this helps legitimize poker being a game of skill, and it means a lot to me to be a part of that." - Nick Schulman - (see original)
His presence on the airwaves brings credibility and a wealth of experience that listeners can trust.
SiriusXM’s Strategy and the Six‑Episode Run
SiriusXM’s decision to launch a limited‑run poker series reflects a broader shift toward advertising‑driven content. By offering a six‑episode block, the company can gauge audience interest and advertiser appetite without committing to a long‑term slot. The show’s placement on Mad Dog Sports Radio also signals an expansion of the channel’s definition of sports, treating competitive card play as a legitimate sporting discipline. For advertisers, the program provides a niche, skill‑oriented audience that aligns with brands seeking to associate with expertise and strategic thinking.
How to Tune In and Catch the Series
To catch the series, simply set a reminder for Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. ET and dial channel 82 on SiriusXM. If you miss a live broadcast, the show will be available on the SiriusXM app’s on‑demand library, allowing you to listen at your convenience. Fans can also follow the show’s social‑media channels for episode highlights, hand‑analysis clips, and live Q&A sessions with Schulman. By staying tuned, listeners will experience a unique blend of poker education and entertainment that only a Hall of Famer can deliver.
