I was thinking of adding a forum or discord so folks can discuss the speaks or whatever sober related. It would be private, I want to know if you would be into that? I put a one question survey up to get your opinion and I would be very grateful. https://scast.us/discuss
Dr Bob the other founder of AA is our speaker today. He is telling his story about his first 14 years in AA, this was recorded in 1949. The end if this speak (about 6 min) is a bit of Dr Bobs last talk in 1950.
There are no where near as many recordings of Dr Bob as there are of Bill W and the ones that are around are generally fairly bad, this one had a nasty hum, but it cleaned up really well and is one of the best I have heard of Dr Bob. Repost from 2018.
I just added ISCYPAA 41 Young Peoples on the event list, its taking place in Illinois at the end of March https://scast.us/iscypaa41

Chip B has been sober 35 years, he is from Destin Florida, he does a great job presenting this very interesting workshop on how AA went from the age of Bill using the telephone in the Mayflower Hotel to the age of zoom. This was recorded at the 31st West Georgia Gratitude Weekend held in June of 2023.

This is AA founder Bill W speaking on each of the 12 traditions one at a time. I had posted a version of this in 2019, and recently came across this recording of the same speak with much better audio quality. That being said it took quite a while to get it cleaned up and it was missing the last 4 min. so I added the missing part from another copy. Repost
The quality is excellent except for the very end, this audio is from a film that was intended to be shown in AA meetings. I dont know exactly when it was made but it was after Dr Bob's death.

AA founder Bill W speaking at an unknown event in Des Moines Iowa in Nov of 1948. Many of the recordings of Bill are him speaking on a specific topic, this one is not, he simply tells his story and how it leads to the creation of AA. This is a great quality recording for 1948. Repost

Gail L from Akron Ohio is speaking at the Second Liberty Bell Roundup in June of 2013. Gail is an AA archivist and historian, her speak is about AA History. She became sober in May of 1978, her presentation at the 2013 Second Liberty Bell Roundup contained photos but not having them does not detract from the speak.

This one is for the AA history buffs, if you need to hear a meeting right now pick a different episode.
Nell Wing is likely someone you have never heard of, she began working at AA World Headquarters in 1947, she is speaking at the first Monterey California Roundup in September of 1993. She tends to verbally wander around a bit but there are some interesting bits of AA history mixed in as well, I was particularly amused by her Ebby story.

Ebby T - An early member of AA referred to as Bill W's sponsor, speaking in San Jose in 1962. Well worth a listen if you are interested in early AA. Pretty good audio quality for the 60's Repost
Ebby is credited with introducing Bill to the initial principles that AA would soon develop, such as one alcoholic talking to another. If you would like to learn more about Ebby there is a very good book about him "Ebby: The Man Who Sponsored Bill W."
He sparked the creation of AA but was unable to maintain long term sobriety. Bill always called Ebby his "sponsor," and even though he had returned to drinking, Bill looked after his friend's welfare for the rest of his life. Ebby struggled on and off with sobriety over the years, and ultimately died sober in 1966.

Bill C from California was sober for 22 years at the time of this speak at the West Portland Group in 2008, he does a really nice job in the first part of his speak talking through some of the old AA literature and the Oxford group, its an interesting speak on a lot of topics. There is some Q&A at the end and you cant hear the questions so I cut them out, but he does a good job of recapping before answering, one last thing it ends a bit abruptly. I also have a lot of recordings of this guy so email me if you would like more from him. NSFW
