Addiction 33: Shane Kraus on Veteran addiction issues, plus the legendary Howard Stutz

Brought to you by those mighty folks at GLI!

Another double-header from the UNLV Risk and Gambling conference, this time we talk with Shane Kraus about gambling addiction among the armed forces, and among veterans. It's an enlightening field of study, and we hope to welcome Shane back on the podcast soon to talk more on this. [2:22 – 40:59]

Then we meet the mighty Howard Stutz, reporter extraordinaire from The Nevada Independent; Jon gets to be a bit fanboy here, while asking the question: does the media play a role in reframing how gambling is perceived in the future? [41:04 – 1:14:00]
