SOBER POP the Playback Podcast: We love to collaborate with like-minded people in recovery. When you join the conversations on Wednesdays at the SOBER POP Club, we record them. WHY? Because the conversations always pop! But in all seriousness, we simply found that the conversations we were having on various sober pop culture topics were informative and fun. Even if you aren’t available to attend one of our rooms in the club, you can still catch up on the conversation playback and find out what you missed.
