John has amazing speakers on his podcast and gives them the room to tell their stories. It’s my way of having a speaker meeting on demand! Keep up the good work!

This is the my favorite recovery podcast. John’s interview style is relaxed and he brings out the best in his guests. I really feels like “A meeting between meetings”. Keep up the great work!!

Love you John, your humor and infectious laugh. I listen when I walk the dogs in the morning. Each speaker teaches me something new. Keep it up John. Mary 01/27/1990

It’s MOSTLY men taking..,, Women you can skip this one!!

I listen every day.

Lots of recovery and great stories on this podcast but the host seems to have a lot of men on the show and very few women. Would also love to hear more stories from people who identify as non-binary/trans. I get it, it’s free and I enjoy it but the content from only men grinds my gears.

This podcast is so eye opening to the challenges that come with alcohol addiction. Very much needed!

Your approach is great! Your voice is soothing and kind and your questions are good. Bless you and your podcast. Keep on, keeping on!

Solid content!

Nauseating. He is self absorbed. Let us listen to the speaker.

I skip over roughly the first ten minutes of table setting on this podcast every time because I don’t want to listen to the host, I want to listen to the guests.

How about more recovery and less psychology.

John m can you find some tapes on Clancy from California? Also a man named Norm an old timer Had died now. Would be great to hear These two.... thanks

Being new to recovery has been challenging. Learning about alcoholism has truly been eye opening. Having such a podcast to help me gain knowledge truly has helped me accept that I truly am powerless over alcohol(along with the big book. This podcast is my meeting between meetings and so much more. Thank you.

I was looking for information onAlcoholism. I came across this great podcast. I listen to this daily and I really listened to many of the sessions. This truly is a meeting in between meetings. John does a remarkable job at keeping the audience engaged. The speakers and their stories are remarkably wonderful. I will continue to listen to these podcasts. Recommend them to anyone you know who is looking for help.

I’ve been listening to John M’s Sober Speak podcast regularly since starting my journey in sobriety (July 2019). In the very beginning, I was fortunate enough to have my choice of a variety of daily meetings. I used this podcast as a “buffer” to listen to in my headphones while at work, doing chores around the house, long drives, etc. Now that the pandemic has taken its toll on my regular meeting schedule, I found myself relying upon only 4-5 weekly meetings. I have been so thankful that John M. has kept the episodes fresh and current. I am able to make it a few days between meetings without getting “squirrelly” but I enjoy plugging in to Sober Speak whenever I please to stay connected with my program of recovery.

This podcast is in my daily diet for my soul. John M, his beautiful wife and his speakers help me through my day knowing I’m not alone and helps me work through my program and my life. I and so happy to have found this. Stacey T

Great content, excellent sound quality- Soft spoken, tranquil voice. Whichever fellowship you’re in you’ll enjoy and look forward to listening to John M. and his guests.

Very unique podcast, great sound quality, all the benefits of a speaker meeting but more in depth. Highly recommend to anyone. Hope this podcast will have continued success

I’m love these pod cast! Love John he’s so funny, real, and down to earth! He interviews with such care, love and ease! You can really feel his care of each person he interviews!! I love the interview with marie R. She’s telling my story almost the the “T” I could really relate to her story!! Thank you John for what you do! God has truly used you as a instrument in peoples lives in this recovery journey we are all going through!!! Bless you and your family!!!! Love, hugs and prayers for you for strength, renewal in spirit as this must be draining on you at times and trying to find the balance between the podcast, family and work!!!! ❤️🙏 (ps thank you to your wife too!)

I love the way John M conducts the interviews and love the “meat and potatoes” content he shares from the 12 steps via his guests! Perfect supplement to my program & meeting schedule. I’ll definitely “keep coming back!”

John M and his guests share their experiences, strength and hope. If you think you may have a problem with alcohol, listen to some episodes and hear these honest, insightful, often humorous and always instructional stories. If you are an A.A. member, consider these episodes as your meeting between meetings. Jim S.

Amazing stories of recovery. I definitely consider this my “meeting between meetings!”

Really enjoy the guest’s stories. The host’s laughs are very distracting. I understand that he is not laughing at the guest speaker but it’s always at a time when the speaker is being very sincere. Hope he reads this so he will keep the laughter at a bare minimal.

Much thanks to my friend Mike for the interview. It was a pleasure.
