This week, I appeared on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast with Rob Davies (Guardian's gambling specialist) and Brigid Simmonds (Chair of the Betting and Gaming Council) to discuss football's harmful relationship with gambling.

As a regular listener to this podcast, it felt very surreal to share my story with Max & Barry but the subsequent public response has been overwhelmingly positive.
