First up, we're joined by stand-in interim temporary agency co-host Melanie Ellis of Northridge Law fame, and we talk a bit about things in the UK. Mel luckily brings her brand of common sense to the table, which is definitely an area Jon is lacking [0:00 – 29:24]. We get into the social impact of tax hikes for the UK industry, among many other things – including the revelation that Melanie is no longer baking pastries. I KNOW RIGHT.
Then we're joined by the genuinely excellent Huw Thomas of Recovery in Gaming. Jon revels in the chance to speak to a fellow addict and they get into what a good support network means for people, and how Huw's growing organisation can support people in the industry at events, conferences and the like. Huw also points out that with a bit of funding, they can help a lot more people… Huw is, as ever, candid and frank in conversation [29:25 – 1:13:47]. It's all well worth a listen.

As ever, we thank all of our sponsors for their vibrant and excellent support. They are truly the Mad Max: Fury Road, to our Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
In no particular order they are: the mighty EveryMatrix – the industry go-to for sportsbook platforms and data feeds. EveryMatrix’s coverage is so damn good, they’re gaining tier-1 operators all the time. If I had to fight to the death in a weird, muddy amphitheatre in a dystopian future, I’d want these guys with me.
Optimove, who turn customer data into something special, with tools that make businesses just plain work better. Optimove, your support helps us make things that are like the sacred gasoline – of DATA!!!
Then of course there is Clarion Gaming, providers of the magnificent ICE expo (January ’26 in Barcelona) and iGB Live! in London. Yeah, the show where there is that guy shooting all fire out the end of his guitar which he’s playing on the roof of a truck. We love you guys infinity plus one.
