Guest Host Experiences – Episode 100

What is it like to be a guest host on The Recovery Show? Join us as we hear Mark, Ruth, Mara, Harriet, and Akilah talk about their experience co-hosting the podcast. I asked my guests today to reflect on these questions as we reach our 100th episode. Why did you decide to participate as a guest on The Recovery Show? How did you feel beforehand? How did you feel afterward? How do you feel now about your participation? Did you listen to "your" episode? If you did, what was that experience like? If not, why not? How has participating in the show strengthened (or not) your Al-Anon program? What would you like to say to our listeners about your experience? Mark, who hosts the Recovered podcast, remembers being a guest on the show, and the ease of not having to "run" the show. Ruth reflects on co-hosting the 12 Tradition episodes, why she committed to them, and what it has meant to her. Mara talks about the importance of service in her recovery, particularly when she is not at home. She also sings Happy Birthday to us (in tune!) Harriet was terrified at the idea, but still committed to co-host an episode about isolation, which she had identified as a problem in her life. Hear how she feels now about her participation. Akilah admittedly likes to talk. She enjoyed co-hosting an episode and encourages you to do the same.
