  • I'm an AlAnon, and get excited that I can get a probing yet caring understanding of AA via this meaty open show. I"ve listened to all the episodes, and they always power my 12 step day. Howard is a gifted interviewer - his questions skillfully pull even more experience, strength, and hope from the speakers' hearts and recovery stories.
