Welcome to Talking Couch Potatoes, the podcast that’s all about greyhounds and the people who love them.
From Perth, Western Australia, we’re shining a spotlight on the world of greyhound advocacy.
We’ll hear from advocates, political groups, experts and volunteers across the country, sharing what’s happening in their states.
And we’re not afraid to tackle the big conversations—opening up dialogue across Australia to discuss the public’s views on dog racing and welfare in WA.
Whether you’re a greyhound lover, a curious listener, or an advocate for change, this is the podcast for you.
No Guest? No Problem! We're Getting Personal.
In this special Talking Couch Potatoes episode, an unexpected change of plans left us without a guest—so Matt, Mel and behind-the-scenes producer Jem took the opportunity to go unscripted and share what drives their passion for greyhound advocacy.
Tune in as we chat about how we got started, the shift in public perception we’ve witnessed over the years, and why it’s more important than ever to push for legislative change.
We talk about the power of community, the role of grassroots action, and how everyday people can help turn compassion into real impact.
Want to help greyhounds? It starts with raising your voice.
