We launched our Double Down Michigan podcast 2-years ago this month! To mark this milestone, here is a behind-the-scenes look into what goes into recording and editing each episode from our producer’s point of view.

Problem gambling does not discriminate and can impact anyone who gambles regardless of economic, social, cultural or levels of education. This Problem Gambling Awareness Month let’s work together to break stereotypes and provide support for everyone who needs it. For help with a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER, text 800GAM, or visit www.1800gamblerchat.org. #PGAM2025
