Show overview
Gamblers has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 16 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 37 min and 1h 3m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. Roughly 44% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Sports show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 8 episodes published. Published by The Ringer.
From the publisher
‘Gamblers’ is an anthology series that follows the underground lives and careers of professional gamblers. Season 1 stretched from the blackjack table to the poolroom and all the way to the racetrack. After reporting most of Season 1 remotely during the early days of the pandemic, host David Hill hits the road in Season 2, taking listeners to the places where hustlers and savants gather to compete with each other. This season, we’re visiting the golf courses of Las Vegas, the drag strips of Florida, and the Casino de Monte Carlo for a backgammon tournament. ‘Gamblers’ is not just a show about betting, it’s a show about the people who devoted their lives to gambling and never looked back.
