Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

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.
