Laces Out (afl Podcast)

In this special episode of 'A Chat With...', host of Lace Out, Chris Pepper, talks to Tim Costello, the former Chief Executive of World Vision Australia and is now putting awareness of gambling harm on the national agenda. Mr Costello states in the interview how the gambling industry is making a very deliberate play to capture a generation of children, through a bombardment of advertising during sports broadcasts, both on radio and television. Tim also gives examples of how the fabric of mateship is getting torn apart by sports betting apps and the way we watch sport will never be the same.Information/Fact Sources (Signup to End Gambling AdsSports betting in Australia - Australian Institute of Family StudiesSports betting worldwide - statistics & facts - Statista40+ Australia Gambling Statistics for 2021 - TakeATumbleGambling statistics in Australia: how much money we loseHosted By Christopher PepperCheck out Lace Out's Facebook pageBroadcasting LIVE every Monday night @ 8pm (AEST)Look out for our Tipped
