    S12, Chapter 1: The App on the Phone

    Everyone remembers their first win. I remember mine. The chief of police of New Haven, Connecticut surely remembered his.  And in the twelve months that followed, he wagered $4.4 million on sports betting apps from the phone in his pocket. This is the story of Karl Jacobson's fall, told alongside my own 10-day descent into the same apps.  Come and see what Karl felt from the inside, and the devastating lesson I learned with him: the most dangerous part of gambling isn't losing.  It's winning. The App on the Phone is the new season from Tapes from the Darkside. For the first time, you can download/stream this episode as a lossless WAV file, the exact uncompressed quality I master it in. https://www.patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 — call or text 1-800-522-4700.

    S12, Chapter 2: The Winning Phase

    Nine apps. Ten days. Hundreds of bets. I'll walk you through what a gambling spiral looks like firsthand. We'll take a look at the $314 million machine that put these apps in front of me. And the illusion of control that almost turned a ten day experiment into something that much much worse. Karl Jacobson wasn't so lucky. His childhood; filled with alcoholism and abuse. As a cop, he spent his life trying to become the kind of person who makes others feel safe. The person you can trust. And the disease that lived in his childhood home found him anyway. Not through a bottle, but through a screen. Resources If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 — call or text 1-800-522-4700.

    S12, Chapter 3: The Randy Cox Thing

    On the floor of a New Haven holding cell, paralyzed, while the officer standing over him laughed and asked why he kept winking, Randy Cox said: "I need somebody to take me seriously." It's on page 17 of a 70-page internal affairs report, no news outlet ever printed it, and it's the reason this episode exists.
