Sometimes you just need a clear-cut win! It won't be completed until the end of 2026 but cracking news this week that Greyhound Racing will soon be ended in New Zealand. Can we expect backlash from the 1000+ jobs that will be lost, or spectators from the nearly 5,000 races that were staged last year? Carlos, Luke & Anthony discuss this, as well as eight other stories.
