About the show
The Gambler is a new GoLoud Original from the team behind The Witness, journalist Nicola Tallant and producer Ian Maleney.
How far can someone be pushed by their demons? How far will they go to cover their tracks?
A phone call from prison kicks off a journey into the darkest reaches of addiction, crime and deception – as reporters Nicola Tallant and Ian Maleney try to unravel the story of gambling addict and serial fraudster, Patrick Sheedy.
The Gambler tells the fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes confusing tale of the convicted con man from Limerick, who used theft and fraud to fund a gambling addiction that spiraled out of control and consumed his life.
We meet Pat as he prepares to leave prison, vowing to leave his criminal past behind and ready to tell his story in a memoir that will be published to national acclaim.
Over the course of eighteen months, Tallant and Maleney delve into every aspect of Sheedy’s story, from his early life in Limerick, to his descent into the world of crime, and his attempts to redeem himself and set right the wrongs of his past. They also meet some of his victims, and hear about the continuing impact of his crimes on their lives.
The Gambler brings listeners on a deeply personal, riveting journey that explores crime, addiction, manipulation, guilt, and redemption. Over the course of eight episodes, The Gambler weaves interviews with Sheedy, his victims, and addiction experts through a rich and immersive soundscape to produce a stunning portrait of a life lived under the influence.
