This week, Jim Reid and the panel interview Chad Holloway, a poker media personality and one of the key folks at PokerNews. Chad talks about coming into the industry, building a name for himself, the rigorous standards required by professional journalism, and how that differs from most content creators. We also talk about having fun at work, what it’s like to report on a scandal, and Chad’s alter ego who travels the Midwest by night selling…comic books?!?
Chad is active on Twitter as @chadaholloway
We also go over this week’s home game results and discuss these topics:
