About this episode
If you’re alive in America today, you’ve seen the ads — on TV, at bus stops, and on your phone. We have a gambling problem in this country, and it’s getting worse by the minute. With a rapid, billion-dollar boom in sports betting already underway, we now have to reckon with the next phase of this trend: betting on news events.
Journalist and author Danny Funt joins Posting Through It for a conversation about online gambling at a time where the culture around it is tightening its grip on everyday life, mutating into something that goes beyond prototypical American capitalism and imposes consequences that affect us all.
