🎙️ Recovery Podcastland: 🎧 Hangovers are canceled. Fun is mandatory.

Dive into this week’s sober podcast lineup — from Apple TV drama and drunk raccoons to punk rock dads.

FROM THE FOUNDER’S DESK (*covered in tchotchkes)

🎧 Hey Sober Sippers, it’s Recovery Podcastland Wednesday — the day we swap doomscrolling for dopamine and let the sober airwaves do their thing. First stop: The Sober Curator Podcast (ep. 29), where we stir up the glossy chaos of Apple TV+’s “Your Friends & Neighbors” and ask, “Is addiction just ambition in better shoes?” (Spoiler: kinda, yeah.) Next up, Sober Dad Crew introduces us to Michael Valarelli — a punk rock kid turned hot sauce hero who proves that recovery stories sound way better with a killer soundtrack. And if you need a spiritual mic drop, Sober is Dope with POP Buchanan is serving up long-term recovery vibes packed with wisdom, wellness, and straight-up sober swagger. So plug in, press play and remember: hangovers are canceled, fun is mandatory.

✨ Happy Hump Day,

Alysse

Chasing Dopamine, Finding Connection: A Sober Take on “Your Friends & Neighbors” 

“Hangovers are canceled; fun is mandatory.” It’s a cheeky promise, but in episode 29 of The Sober Curator Podcast, that line becomes a thesis about what we really chase when we chase more — more money, more status, more thrill. The panel — hosts Alysse Bryson and Tamar Routly, and contributors Sarah Alaimo, Carolyn Bunn Lane Kennedy, Dr. Sarah Michaud and Megan Swan — gathered to unpack Apple TV+’s “Your Friends & Neighbors,” a sleek neighborhood drama where the crimes sparkle as much as the kitchens, and where the pursuit of “enough” looks suspiciously like addiction with better shoes.

Sober Dad Crew: Michael Valarelli — Punk Rock, Hot Sauce and the Journey of Sobriety

Every episode of Sober Dad Crew is a chance to sit down with someone who’s walked a unique path in sobriety, and this week I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Michael Valarelli. Michael’s story starts in Florida, but really takes shape in Westchester, New York, where he grew up as a punk rock kid. Music wasn’t just a phase for him — it was a lifestyle, a lifeline and a driving force that carried him through his teens and into his 30s, playing in bands and living the DIY spirit of punk.
