Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Topic: The Spiritual Experience -- Bill W

Bill W. one of the founders of AA speaking (in 1966) on the topic of the Spiritual Experience -- A Matter of Grace.

This has a bit of a hissing in the background, I have removed a good amount of it but had to leave some because removing it all distorted his voice, it ends abruptly during the Q&A.

Workshop: Sponsorship (Sybil W-C 41 yrs)

Sybil W-C giving a workshop in 1982 on Sponsorship, at the time of this workshop she had been sober 41 years and had the distinction of being the first female member of AA on the west coast. 

This is an older recording and I removed much of the noise, its a bit harsh but listenable.

There was another speaker and some Q&A at the end of this that I removed because of a number of homophobic comments made by the other speaker at the workshop, I delieted him entirely. The comments were not made by or echoed by Sybil, she is great but the other guy not so much.
