🎙️ We're proud to launch GBGB Stories, a new series designed to explore the people, places and stories that have shaped greyhound racing. Each episode takes an in-depth look at a different aspect of the sport through the voices of those who know it best.

Our first guest is Professor Keith Laybourn of the University of Huddersfield, who explores greyhound racing's place in British social history and how it emerged as "the Ascot for the common man".

GBGB is launching a new video series designed to take people behind the headlines and introduce them to the people, the greyhounds, and the stories that make up the sport.

A new episode of GBGB Stories will be released once a month and will focus on a different person, place or story from across British greyhound racing, allowing audiences to see the sport through the eyes of those who actually know it.

GBGB Director of Corporate Affairs Abbie MacGregor said:

"We have an extraordinary number of stories that need to be out there more: stories of dedication, community, history, cutting-edge science, friendship and people whose lives revolve around the greyhounds in their care. The best answer to a second-hand narrative is a first-hand experience, and this is what GBGB Stories is all about."
