4) Two new ‘Inside the Commission’ podcast episodes out now

In the first episode included this week we hear from Sue and Matt from the Commission's Lived Experience Advisory Panel. They share candid reflections on their own experiences of gambling harm, and how they see the role of the panel in shaping the work of the Commission alongside the other advisory groups. 

And then if you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at bookmakers during large sporting events, in a special end of season episode we hear from Commission Betting Specialist Jon Shaw about how the large-scale sporting event betting landscape has evolved due to the impact of AI and other technology. 

The ‘Inside the Commission’ podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
