On this week's show we focussed on the relationship between sport and gambling looking how it can affect all of us. Nick Phillips told us all about his story, how he thinks he’s gambled away £250,000 over the past 20 years & how he attempted to take his life. Ian from Gamblers Anonymous came on and told us how much gambling has increased over the past decade. James told us about the charity project he works with called The Big Step Project and how the Swans have got involved, while Charles told us about Gambling with Lives, a charity he helped set up after his own son took his life back in 2017. All that & more on this week's podcast. If you are experiencing gambling problems or need support, please reach out, it's important to talk. On the front page of our website we have useful helplines and advice if you have a gambling addiction.
