“Tempted” is a bombshell memoir by Canadian media personality Rick Campanelli.

From his humble beginnings in Hamilton, Ontario, to his time as a MuchMusic VJ, Tempted is a story of Rick’s achievements and the secret gambling addiction that he battled along the way.

Audiobook Café’s Jacob Shymanski catches up with Rick to learn about the double life he led and why now is the time he chose to reveal his story.

This episode was produced by Andrika De Lanerolle.
