Welcome to Talking Couch Potatoes, the podcast that’s all about greyhounds and the people who love them.

After the WA greyhound racing inquiry hearings… we needed a moment.

A breather. A debrief. A bit of honesty. 💭

In this episode, we talk about:

🐾 What it was actually like being in the hearing room

💔 The emotional toll behind the scenes

❓ The questions that mattered (and the obfuscation!)

⚠️ The reality that can’t be avoided: dogs WILL be injured and killed racing.

We also reflect on the people behind the advocacy — the volunteers, the foster carers, the adopting families, and the greyhounds themselves 🐕 who have changed so many minds just by being in our homes 🏡

And yes… there’s still a bit of classic Talking Couch Potatoes chaos in there too 😅🐾
