After a short hiatus, hosted by Kerryjane Craigie (KJ) and Lydia Cugudda, The Real Poker Girls of London Podcast returns for the 2026 season with a familiar mix of insight, chaos, and unfiltered poker conversation—kicking things off with Nicholas Walsh.

Known to most as Nick Walsh, the PokerStars Team Pro ambassador has carved out a unique space in the game as both a player and one of its most recognizable modern voices. From streaming to commentary alongside names like James Hardigan and Joe Stapleton, Walsh represents the evolution of poker content—where personality, accessibility, and strategy all collide.

Listeners get a full look at that journey in this episode. Walsh talks about starting out young, taking the leap into full-time poker, and how a push into streaming around 2019 ultimately led to his role with PokerStars. What followed wasn’t just a job—it became a platform to build a brand, a voice, and a career that now spans commentary, content creation, and competitive play.

The conversation leans into his specialty—Spin & Go formats—breaking down the speed, variance, and mental adjustments required in today’s faster, more volatile structures. But what makes the episode land isn’t just strategy. It’s the honesty around the realities of the game: the pressure of performing, the unpredictability of poker, and the moments behind the scenes that don’t always make the broadcast.

That balance carries throughout the podcast—part poker theory, part storytelling, part pure chemistry between KJ and Lydia and their guest. It’s exactly what has made The Real Poker Girls what it is: not just another poker podcast, but a space where the game feels real, unscripted, and personal.
