- Great Podcast not just for addicts
Dave’s open mind, empathy and calm voice, plus funny humor are soothing entertainment. I didn’t expect to learn as much as I have. Love the guests, too!

Good show, keep going. People will feel what they feel. I liked getting to know a little about Nick after such a horrid thing happened. It’s natural curiosity, shock, empathy, and it will never make sense anyways.

Apple Podcasts5Otho67United Statesa month ago - Incredible podcast!!!
Dopey has completely changed my life. It gave me a place where I truly feel like I fit in. It showed me I wasn’t alone in this. That I could make meaningful relationships with people all over the world that have been down the exact same path as me. It showed me that recovery can be fun and exciting and that there are many different ways to do it. I will be forever grateful to Dave and Chris.
