An AA meeting in a Podcast. Sobercast is an (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous podcast featuring AA speaker meetings and workshops. This is not a discussion podcast, simply speaker meetings and workshops in a podcast format.
The Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast is an incredible resource for those in recovery from alcohol addiction. As someone who has been sober for over 7 years, I can confidently say that this podcast has played a significant role in my journey. It has become one of my favorite apps, and I want to express my gratitude to whoever runs it.
One of the best aspects of The Sober Cast is the wide variety of speakers and topics covered. Not only are there circuit speakers, but there are also regular members sharing their stories and experiences. This diversity allows listeners to connect with different perspectives and find inspiration in various ways. Additionally, the podcast has been particularly helpful during the pandemic when in-person meetings have been limited or unavailable. The daily chairs and relatable shares have provided a sense of community and support during challenging times.
While not every speaker or topic may be awe-inspiring, there have been a few that have truly touched me and helped reshape my life for the better. These speakers have inspired me to make positive changes and deepen my understanding of sobriety. Despite occasional misses, overall, the quality of the content is excellent.
Furthermore, The Sober Cast has helped me recognize some deep-rooted issues within myself that contributed to my addiction. It has shed light on my selfishness and why I turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Through listening to these speakers' stories, I have learned that selflessness and service to others are key components of recovery. Each speaker's vulnerability is heartwarming, making me want to give them all a big hug while expressing gratitude for sharing the language of the heart.
In conclusion, I am incredibly grateful for The Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast. It has had a profoundly positive impact on my life as someone who is over 7 years sober. Especially during tough times like these, when physical AA meetings are not possible, this podcast has been a lifeline for many. The diverse range of speakers and topics, along with the sense of community it provides, make it an invaluable resource for anyone in recovery. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking support and inspiration on their sober journey.

Bill W. Bill starts with the topic of gratitude and moves on to his story and how that led to the creation of AA at an unknown event. This is from June of 1954 and I was able to remove the nasty hum it had, the result is a pretty good recording for 1954. This runs just a little over an hour and for the first 40 min the sound quality is pretty good all things considered. The last 20 min the sound isnt as clear, it gets a bit muddy and I couldnt fix that but it is still listenable.

Sybil C had been sober for 39 years at the time of this speak, she is from of Los Angeles and is speaking on the subject of How the Traditions Were Born, a topic she lived while working in the AA office in New York at the time of their creation. Sybil got sober in 1941 after trying for 17 years, at her first meeting she was asked to wait out in the hall because it was a closed meeting and they thought she was one of the wives, not one of the drunks, she was also the first woman AA member on the East coast. I was a bit shocked at how well this cleaned up considering how it sounded on my first listen.
