Addiction 30: Jon Cohen and Sarah Nelson, Live(ish) from the UNLV conference on Risk and Gambling

A slightly different episode here, not least in sound quality, as we bring you the first of our recordings from the 2026 UNLV conference on Risk and Gambling. And it's brought to you thanks to GLI!As mentioned, the sound quality isn't the best – sadly, especially in Sarah's chat – but bear with us... We get into the impact of gambling on young people in America with Jon Cohen [0:00 – 37:35], then it's karaoke, inspiration and running 100 miles with Harvard legend Sarah Nelson [37:36 – 56:59]. I think you'll find these are topics worth sticking with even when the sound quality isn't all that...The sound is better in forthcoming episodes but when you're outside a closed room, it's always going to have the potential to suck a little bit, am I right?This episode comes to you courtesy of the excellent Gaming Laboratories International.
