Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

Bill W speaking on the history of the AA Big Book in 1953

Bill W speaking on the history of the Big Book in 1953. This was a very poor recording to start with, it had a really nasty hum & I was able to get out most of the background noise. Bill's voice is much clearer (a bit sharp) however the filtering I had to do makes the laughter from the audience sound a bit strange but listenable.

Bill W one of AAs founders speaking in 1969

Bill W speaking at the 34th. anniversary in NY. 1969, followed a very brief speak at the 5th. International in Miami FL. July 1970

I have aggressively modified the audio quality of this recording, it was very poor to start with. The audio quality from begining to end also varied wildly, the sound wave looked like 3 different recordings.

I removed a nasty hum and a good amount of background noise, adjusted the levels and on some of the applause sections decreased the punishingly harsh volume, same thing on a couple of sections of organ music (it was painful).

There are a few sections where it is difficult to hear what Bill is saying.

Dr Bob one of AAs founders speaking in 1948

Dr. Bob's last major talk in Detroit, MI. Dec. 1948, this had a pretty nasty hum in the background, I managed to get most of that out. Considering the year it was recorded, once the hum was removed its a pretty good recording, it ends a little abruptly.

Tomorrow: Bill W

Frank S one of the first 100 members of AA

Frank S, one of the first 100 members of AA, 44 years sober at the time of this speak. No info about where or when this was recorded.

It is an older recording and I removed as much background noise as I could and ran this through a number of filters trying to improve the sound, it sounds a little fuzzy and has some popping but it is much improved.
