I first started presenting as a career in April 2009 actually, one day I woke up and thought ‘Hey I definitely want some of that’ and there goes the start of a hopefully fabulous career. I got my first job as an internet TV presenter through ‘Faces in Places TV’ where I had the opportunity to work with a great presenter named Jason Karl.  My job was to ambush unsuspecting clubbers and get a great interview (extremely hard when most of them are a bit worse for wear ha-ha).

Previous to this I produced and presented on a community radio station named ‘Unity FM’. This was such a great experience that it really gave me a great foundation to start presenting.

What’s the best/most entertaining interview you’ve conducted to date?

Love him or hate him the most entertaining interview I’ve done was with DJ Talent from ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.. Oh yeah you love him…I spent all night pestering the owner of the bar and eventually I had the pleasure of sitting in front of the ‘King of Bling’. This gave me a great opportunity to interact live with the so called man of the moment and I worked really hard to inject fun, laughter and a slither of cheekiness into the interview.

Why take up a poker presenting role?

Poker.. Many girls may say ‘what’s that’ but not me, I love poker and have played for the last few years. Its great sitting down to a game and everyone expecting you to be rubbish because you’re a girl (ha-ha you know its true), only to check raise their a** with a set on the flop..Not a greater feeling.

The most I’ve won is £200 WOO HOO! : )

What poker experience do you have?

As you know I’ve been playing poker for the past few years, I started out in my local Riley’s club (Boooo!), and now frequent the G casino in Blackpool for various comps. I’ve also played at DTD (amazing by the way).

How do you feel about being thrown in at the deep end in a mainly male dominated pastime?

Bring it on. I love guys … ha-ha so I’m happy to keep them in line.

As I said playing Poker for the last few years has been eventful and I’ve definitely had my share of male dominators!? I do think though that poker and the players have evolved enough know to know that there are some great women poker players and equal respect should be given to both sexes.

What do you think of people who are able to play poker for a living?

Poker is an amazing sport that allows everybody to get involved, you don’t have to be the fittest, the most beautiful or the fastest to join in. Poker welcomes you with open arms and invites you in, and therefore I have a lot of love for the players and the sport.

Considering previous success stories such as Kara, what are your ambitions (if any) in poker?

Taking on any role in poker whether it be playing or presenting demands an extensive knowledge of the game, and that is definitely something I want. I hope to be able to talk to the best players in the world about their game and their experiences all the while knowing exactly what they are talking about.

Obviously all poker players dream of the WSOP, and that’s something I hope to play when I feel ready.

Oh Kara if you’re reading this.. Fancy a coffee sometime, you could teach me a lot : )

What are you hoping to achieve with the Little Poker Show?

I am confident that I, Jodi and the rest of the team can make the LPS a worldwide success. I want everyone to know the name, want to see the show week after week and hang on our every word ; )

The Little Poker Show will be on everyone’s lips, the world of poker will (eventually) realise it can’t live without us. Definitely!

Since May 2007 I’ve been presenting on an urban radio station in Nottingham – 97.5 Kemet FM. I’ve presented various shows from a student based show “Campus” to the Breakfast show. As part of the radio station I have hosted at LIVE outside broadcasts such as Nottingham’s Got Talent, Nottingham Riverside Festival and Volunteer’s Week in the Market Square, to a name a few. In 2008 I presented on Mansfield 103.2, and most recently I interviewed the fighters at King of the Ring!

What’s the best/most entertaining interview you’ve conducted to date?

Well apart from a sneaky interview I began with Bas over Facebook…My best interview was with an upcoming American artist who goes by the name of Pryslezz (pron: Priceless) He gave an effortless interview, genuine guy who also allowed me to inject my own bit of fun into it when I announced we would do a compatibility test! After 5 “This or That” questions, I’d concluded we were 100% compatible – obviously!

Why take up a poker presenting role?

Poker is something I’ve never done before – a girl loves a challenge! It’s something new, exciting and I’m sure it will keep me on my feet!

What poker experience do you have?

Until Saturday 21st November 2009 I had no experience of poker what so ever – I didn’t even know how many cards a poker player is given.(Don’t worry, I now know a player is given 2 hole cards )! A week later I’ve watched 63 Kara Scott interviews, I know what a turn & river is and I’ve been sucked into the game. I’ve been learning about poker mainly via the good old internet. There are some great websites that give a full break down, as well as learning the poker terms that will be thrown into the mix. Bas aka Jon Spinks has been fantastic in giving me pointers and the rules when some something isn’t quite making sense! Of course having a game/watching a game of poker puts everything into context by a mile as well!

How do you feel about being thrown in at the deep end in a mainly male dominated pastime?

Throughout my childhood I was brought up in a male dominated environment, having 3 older brothers and living in a pub! At the age of 14 I joined a boxing club and trained with a group of guys for 3years. The fact that its male dominated is the least scary thing, having the understanding about the poker is what it boils down to.

What do you think of people who are able to play poker for a living?

I think it’s fantastic!!! Why have a 9-5 when you can earn a living doing something you enjoy and make money at the same time – genius!

Considering previous success stories such as Kara, what are your ambitions (if any) in poker?

I would like to understand the game to an extent where I can talk to a player comfortably about their hand. Playing the game itself would be good, and playing the game for *real cash* and winning would be even better..haha! But I believe in order to work your way up towards to the top, you must start at the very bottom, which is what I intend to do.

What are you hoping to achieve with the Little Poker Show?

I hope the Little Poker Show becomes a MUST SEE! I hope that Lydia and I will be able to put something together that will “info-tain”. (Inform whilst entertain!) Hopefully we’ll get some high-quality interviews along with hot news in the world of poker and people will always want to see more.

“Just to tell you a little bit about me. I’m new to EMS and hopefully will get the chance to speak to you all very soon. I have been playing Poker for the last couple of years, but by no means confess to being any good haha. Most of my time is spent playing live games but sometimes I do venture to play online.

My name is Lydia, 23 from Preston and I’m hoping to build on my knowledge of Poker with tips/help from everyone.

By now you will know that I am one of the new presenters on the new poker show, I’ll answer all your questions that I can and hope I can count on your support.

Speak to you soon guys.”

Jodi made the following post on the Eat My Stack Poker Forum.
