Poker "Lost Media"
For the past couple of months, I've been reliving some old boom-era stuff from the 2000s, and I've been disturbed to fin
I was the technical director for the first couple seasons of Ultimate Poker Challenge shot at the Plaza. It was the first syndicated poker tournament show at the beginning of the boom. Ratings were quite good for a show that ran at 2am in a lot of markets. It was a lot of fun to work it. The director that worked my last season on it went on to direct Who Wants to be a Milliona
I forgot I uploaded that. I have all those seasons and I believe the one from Binions somewhere on disc that I've been meaning to add to archive.org
edit: me and a buddy used to have a joke with each other. "What does the scent of wet dog remind you of?" "ahhh, the old Plaza 2002-2003"
I've got over 300 episodes of Poker Road Radio, starting from the 2007 debut with Bart Hanson hosting through to 2011. They're saved as mp3 file podcasts in iTunes. If someone is interested in some episodes and can explain to me how to format them for uploading to a website, I'd be happy to give it a try.
Any Barry Greenstein, stuff?
Thanks for the updates everybody. Interesting to see what's still out there, and to hear about stuff that's probably gone forever.
Surprised that PokerGo does indeed seem to have simply gotten rid of the full-length versions of the WSOP livestreams and just has the Lon/Norm TV versions now. My wife is a huge fan of the Nick Schulman/Ali Nejad "night shift" and wants to see those versions.
When you say "when" do you mean like, you suspect that PokerGo is in danger of going under?
Quick update: I asked the man himself, Ali Nejad, about maybe getting the streamed versions of past WSOP years back up on PokerGo and he said that he "Just asked about possibly uploading the archives into a collection." So we'll see what happens!
Thanks again to AtariRob for posting the old PokerRoad episodes on archive.org. Good to paw through some of that stuff again. The intros in particular are weirdly nostalgic.

You don't need to format anything. If you downloaded the episodes, they're sitting in a folder as MP3 files. From there, you can either share the files on some online storage (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive) or put them on thumb drive or something.
Before I lost my set, I had them uploaded to a Dropbox (as I noted earlier in this thread). Someone could listen right from the uploaded file, or they could download it to whatever they wanted.
