The Sober Curator, the premier online lifestyle magazine for sober and sober-curious individuals, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Sober Curator Podcast. Debuting on Wednesday, March 26, the podcast kicks off with five binge-worthy episodes featuring dynamic conversations with contributors from The Sober Curator, offering fresh perspectives on the culture of living life in recovery and life sans alcohol.
Hosted by media maven and sobriety advocate Alysse Bryson, the Sober Curator Podcast transforms the lifestyle content of the vibrant sober lifestyle blog into an innovative lifestyle talk show featuring voices from pathways to and through recovery. Episodes explore a wide array of topics, from spirituality and fashion to movies, TV shows, Quit Lit, and more, showing that sobriety isn’t just about absence — it’s what all the cool kids are doing.
“This podcast is a vibrant extension of our popular website, bringing together our talented contributors to dive deeper into recovery culture, lifestyle trends, and entertainment,” says Bryson. “We’re creating a dynamic space where sobriety meets pop culture, making the alcohol-free lifestyle fun, accessible, and inspiring.”

Three shows, three different flavors of ”a sober person definitely wrote this” or ”definitely did not.” A basketball dynasty imploding over fake sobriety. Two women in very good coats who may or may not have killed their best friend. A suburban thief with a cocaine problem next door.
Alysse's TV ride or dies are here: Lane Kennedy, Patti Clark (making us global from Portugal), and co-host Tamar Routly. Spoilers for everything, on purpose. Each show gets scored on The Sobees, fulls and halves only, and one panelist tries to file a 4.75 and is denied.
In this episode:
”Running Point” season two: Cam says ”I'm sober now,” nobody believes him, and the urine swap (”Anyone ever bought fake urine? Just me?”)
Why you can't buy sobriety, no matter how expensive the rehab
Chet Hanks, sober on screen and IRL, and the love-addicted couple that deserves a spin-off
”Your Friends & Neighbors” season two: Owen Ashe, the loud music, and the scene of all scenes (no spoilers here, plenty on mic)
Perimenopause rage, the neighbor's dog, and Ali as the family's designated screw-up
”Imperfect Women”: the top-shelf alcoholic, the codependent nobody could stand, and why a three is a feeling
Alysse vs. Elisabeth Moss, and the Rotten Tomatoes score that backs Lane up
The strike, the attorneys, and ”I'm gonna get Claude to reach out to you”
Sober Shots:
”You can't buy sobriety. Doesn't matter how much money you have. You could maybe buy a pee test, but you can't buy sobriety.” (Alysse Bryson)
”A low score doesn't necessarily mean don't watch it. It's just our feelings about it, and a three feeling is a feeling.” (Alysse Bryson)
The Sobees, panel average: ”Running Point” S2: 3.5. ”Your Friends & Neighbors” S2: 4.5. ”Imperfect Women”: 3.5.
