  • Mr Bird?

    These guys are really wonderful. Everything resonates deeply! I have just listened to the whole back catalogue and it’s helped me through my first 30 days AF! The best free AF resource there could be - thank you!!

    Ps great 3-some for sure but it has struck me that Scott needs a bird surname to really fit in?! Crow, goldfinch…🦆

  • Pure gold

    This podcast is just that - brimming with nuggets of wisdom with a good sprinkling of relatable humour thrown in. I had the good fortune to meet Sam at a conference recently so listened to the first episode out of curiosity and quickly became hooked. I have yet to embark on an AF life although am now seriously considering it. Sam and Ellie’s wisdom and insights point to presence generally as much as to sobriety, hence anyone can appreciate this podcast, wherever they might be in life’s journe... more

  • Life changing podcast

    This podcast has been one of the most valuable tools in my recovery. I was in a bad place with alcohol, and have dived head first into ‘The Work’ 😊 Finding this podcast has been a breath of fresh air, and listening to an episode is a daily moment of joy & insight. The title of each episode doesn’t determine whether I listen to it, because every episode has nuggets of wisdom gold in it, regardless of the topic. I TRULY appreciate you two and all that you do. Thank you both!!!
