72. The great COVID gambling scandal - and how it wrecks lives

The Owen Jones Podcast - Un podcast de Owen Jones

While many companies have struggled badly during the COVID-19 pandemic, not so for online gambling which thrived during the crisis. Matt Zarb Cousin and James Grimes are two former gambling addicts turned campaigners who tell me how they were driven to the very edge, how the industry exploits the vulnerable, how cosmetic reforms have made little difference - and how the worst post-war emergency allowed online gambling to thrive.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
