2009 Season

We're happy to start our ninth season, with the worthy addition of Simon Taylor as co-host.  Simon is a professional poker player and web programmer from England who lives in Buenos Aires. He divides his time between grinding out dollars at the poker tables and working on web-based projects including www.landingpadba.com - an alternative guide to the city he now calls home.  

Stay tuned for new columnists, assorted English speakers appearing live from all over, and for the first time ever on live radio, a giant mind-reading squid who denies his involvement with those controversial scenes in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Just add water!

Poker players: if you got here because you owe Simon money, click here and you'll be redirected to the relevant site.  Simon currently accepts only jewelry and watches.
