It’s called Hold or Fold and is made by our colleagues at the Prison Radio Association.</p><p><br></p><p>'Hold or Fold' explores gambling harm with an emphasis on the criminal justice system, your hosts Ben &amp; Steve have both served time in prison as a direct result of their gambling. In this first episode they are introducing themselves to you, a brand new audience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They candidly share what got them into gambling, how it escalated and why this led to a prison sentence. What was that first night in prison like? How did they cope? And how were they able to turn their adversity into a positive?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, Ben &amp; Steve will be taking their first listener question in ‘Cards On the Table’ - We’d love to hear your questions too.
