Stewart Kenny. How the genius behind Paddy Power became gambling’s fiercest critic.

Free State is going live this Christmas. Get your tickets here for the first (and probably the last) Free State Live show at Vicar Street on Dec 14th, with special guest James McClean. https://www.ticketmaster.ie/free-state-with-joe-brolly-and-dion-fanning-tickets/artist/5770194 Stewart Kenny co-founded Paddy Power. It was his marketing genius which grew the bookmaker into the giant it would become. But as it grew Kenny began to have his own concerns. On Free State today Kenny talks to Joe and Dion about how he helped shape the betting giant, why he still loves gambling but not the isolating, poisonous addiction that is online betting. He speaks honestly about his own role in creating Frankenstein’s monster and what he thinks when people say he profited from the very industry he now rails against. Hosted on Acast.
