It's great to be number one at some things - who wouldn't want to have the world's longest toes, the world's fastest pet fish, or the world's grandest collection of wood? For countries it can be great too - the world's craziest TV game shows, the world's most efficient beetroot growing system, or the world's coolest academics!But sometimes being number one sucks... No one wants to have the most murders, the most unhappiness, or the most car crashes... Well guess what Australia: we're number one at something that sucks too. Problem gambling. Even worse - there's daylight between us and number two. We investigate why Australia gambles so damn much!The Wholesome Show is Dr Rod Lamberts and Dr Will Grant, proudly supported by the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at the Australian National University!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
