Hold or Fold returns for a brand new series in style with an incredible conversation with Comedian, Broadcaster and Writer, John Robins
John has had a fantastic career which has seen him scoop the Edinburgh Comedy Award and a Gold ARIA (The Audio & Radio Industry Awards), front several successful Podcasts/Radio shows and he can even boast the highest ever score on Taskmaster! But more recently, John has become known for his honesty and compassion when it comes to talking about addiction. John has battled demons around alcohol and gambling and he joins us on the show to talk about the latter as he shares words of hope and inspiration in his own inimitable style. John tells us how gambling took a hold of his life and how he was able to overcome addiction on more than one occasion, what worked for him and his recovery and how to remain positive, even in your darkest days
Here are links to John's work and some helpful organisations ...
