Podcast Corner: Compelling tale of a chronic gambler 

The Gambler tells of a man who spent time in prison after crimes committed to feed his gambling addiction 

Pat Sheedy is the subject of The Gambler podcast. 

Back in 2021,  The Witness: In his Own Words told the story of Joseph O’Callaghan, the youngest person ever to enter witness protection in Ireland. It was simple but very effective storytelling as O’Callaghan went beat by beat through his life and its twists and turns, and how he came to be involved with Brian ‘The Milkman’ Kenny. It’s one of the best podcasts to come out of Ireland.

Now Ian Malaney and Nicola Tallant have returned with The Gambler (GoLoud) and another person telling their life story. Said gambler is Pat Sheedy, who might be familiar to some. He released a book, A Hundred to One, in February and did the interview rounds around then, including on Episode with Richie Sadlier.
