Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Workshop: Step 4 - Sex Inventory

This is a 4th Step Workshop held in Mankato Minnesota in 2008 hosted by an unknown group, this part of the workshop focuses specifically on the sex conduct portion. This was a very straightforward presentation going through the topic with a sentence by sentence breakdown from the big book with a solid lack of opinion by the two guys that hosted it. If anyone out there has a workshop on this topic presented by women I would love to post that, please email me.

Workshop: Safety Inclusivity and Diversity In AA (NSFW)

This is a workshop that took place in Medford Oregon on the topic of Safety, Inclusivity and Diversity in AA from June of 2020. Five folks of different backgrounds deal with a number of different topics discussing their personal struggles, challenges and solutions regarding safety, inclusivity and diversity in AA. This was early days in the pandemic so zoom bombing is also a topic. NSFW - Zoom

I removed all the "how to participate" discussion at the beginning (and a ton of announcements at the end) so it feels like it just jumps right in and then out at the end. I also removed a number of spots of dead air between some of the comments and speakers and marked this as NSFW simply because some of the topics might not be appropriate at some workplaces.

Workshop: Step 4 - All 5 Parts (4.75 hrs)

Rick and Bob are the workshop leads, it was held in Mankato Minnesota in 2008, I dont have any other information about this workshop.

The audio quality is good but there is some mike noise as each section starts, it doesnt last more than 45 seconds or so. There are some audibility issues as they do Q & A throughout the sessions but the answers make the inaudible questions fairly clear and lastly, I put a brief click track between parts.

Part 2: Resentments (Previously posted, approx. 57 min long if you want to jump ahead)

Part 3: Personal Stories & Resentments Recap.

Workshop: Joe and Charlie Big Book in one file - 12 hours

The Joe and Charlie Big Book workshops have been popular for many years and it was one of my first posts.  I went looking for the latest version I could find and came across this one from 2013, it has great audio quality and I have combined all the files into one 12 hour workshop. 

A little background on the workshops:

In 1977, some AA members met in a Tulsa, Oklahoma hotel room for a discussion on The Big Book. One member asked Joe and Charlie to come to his home group to present a program on The Big Book. A taping of that presentation was made and called "The Big Book Study". Through the circulation of these audio tapes throughout the Fellowship, Joe and Charlie received invitations to present the Study at AA conventions, roundups and special events.

At the AA International Convention in New Orleans in 1980, Wesley P, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA members from all over the world and gave away 100 Joe & Charlie tape sets as door prizes. Invitations exploded, and within a couple of years Joe & Charlie were presenting about 36 seminars a year worldwide. These seminars struck a deep chord within the AA members.

Topic: Most Of Us Were Unwilling (Multiple Speakers)

This is a topic meeting on the subject of - Most Of Us Were Unwilling - from a Young Peoples roundup that was held in 1978 in Vancouver Washington at an event called CRYPR. I couldnt find out much more about it, it had a nasty buzz I was able to remove, for such an old recording it is very listenable.
