Sober Cast: An (unofficial) Alcoholics Anonymous Podcast AA

This is part 1 of 2 of a bit of AA history but it may not be for everyone, so if you are feeling the need for a speaker meeting pick something else from our list.  This is an H & I Conference, that features some significant figures in AA's history, John, Col. Edward Towns (as in Towns Hospital) and Sr. Ignatia in part 1. In part 2 we have AA founder Bill W, Dr. Bradley and Dr. Brightman. Part 1 of 2 I could not find out too much about the event itself so if you know more about it please reach out.  Email: sobercast@gmail.com

Yesterday our speaker was Ann P and she mentioned one of the folks that really helped her in her sobriety was a gent named Norm A from Monrovia CA.
