Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

This recording is mostly Bill W speaking at the third annual International AA convention held in Long Beach California in 1960, along the way he introduces Lois, Ebby and Sister Ignatia. Each takes the mic for a bit at their introduction, also Bill tells a good bit of his story along with information about the creation of AA.  The overall quality of this recording is excellent it cleaned up really well, there a few audio artifacts but its an easy listen.

He is speaking as a guest of AA at this particular meeting, and presents a very interesting perspective on the early days and formation of AA. Repost from 2018.

Bill W tells some of his story in this speak at the Oklahoma State Conference in Oklahoma City in May of 1951. Many of the speaks from Bill have to do with the creation of AA and its future, this one is much more personnel. Bill gets into his encounter with Ebby and the specifics of the conversation they had that started Bills journey to sobriety and creating AA.

This ends abruptly as Bill is telling the story about how it was suggested he should contact John Rockefeller. This audio cleaned up really well, it is one of the best quality recordings of Bill I have heard.

Jack B got sober in July of 1953 and he is speaking at an event called the Brownwood Retreat. I have no idea when it took place but, the majority of the recordings I have of Jack are from the mid 70's through the mid 80's, so Im guessing this is from some time in there. He was a fairly popular circuit speaker back then.

Sybil C had been sober for 39 years at the time of this speak, she is from of Los Angeles and is speaking on the subject of How the Traditions Were Born, a topic she lived while working in the AA office in New York at the time of their creation.

Sybil got sober in 1941 after trying for 17 years, at her first meeting she was asked to wait out in the hall because it was a closed meeting and they thought she was one of the wives, not one of the drunks, she was also the first woman AA member on the East coast. I was a bit shocked at how well this cleaned up considering how it sounded on my first listen.
