Truly enjoy Shank and Wayne take on different topics from the steps to traditions. Also really like the guests they have to on the show and the banter back and forth. I've learned so much about AA and why things are the way they are our what needs to change.
Shank and Wayne thank you for breaking it down what your experience AA has been and is the good and the bad. I can relate and laugh with you guys. Love and tolerance. Maybe there is still hope for us!
Love the simplicity of the message.

A conversational, experience-driven show where two long-running hosts share real-life recovery stories, practical reflections on applying the 12 steps, and humor about living AA as a daily discipline. Episodes frequently tackle topics like sponsorship, group dynamics, inclusivity versus tradition, and how to navigate modern issues (tech, media, safety) within AA. Notable strengths include candid discussions, a focus on service and mentoring newcomers, and a willingness to challenge myths while upholding core AA literature and traditions. This mix makes it useful for listeners seeking authentic insights into sobriety, community, and maintaining spiritual footing in everyday life.
