Introducing 'The Gambler'

The Gambler - A podcast by GoLoud

The Gambler tells the fascinating, and often mysterious, tale of Pat Sheedy – a convicted fraudster from Moyross, Limerick, who perpetrated multiple cons to fund a gambling addiction that spiralled out of control and consumed his life.Over the course of 18-months, Tallant and Maleney have delved into every aspect of Sheedy’s story, from his early life, to his descent into the world of crime, and his attempts to redeem himself and set right the wrongs of his past.This eight-part series combines interviews with Sheedy, his victims, experts on gambling addiction, and a rich soundscape, to bring listeners on a deeply personal, riveting journey that explores crime, addiction, manipulation, guilt and redemption.
