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.Free the Hounds Inc Association

  • EP43: A Foster Carer's Journey: Healing, Helping, Holding
    Jun 6 2025

    In this uplifting episode of Talking Couch Potatoes, we chat with Ash, a committed foster carer with Greyhound Adoptions WA.

    Ash takes us through the highs and lows of fostering—sharing how she learned to set boundaries, carry the mental load, and still open her heart to hound after hound. Her first foster fail, Freckles, became a Free The Hounds poster boy, and Horse, her “soul dog,” left an unforgettable mark.

    Now, after a short break, Ash is just starting to foster again. She describes fostering as the best thing she and her partner Marcello have ever done.

    This episode also highlights how Free The Hounds is standing behind foster carers like Ash, advocating for an end to greyhound racing—because when the racing stops, the endless stream of dogs needing homes will too.
