Recovery-ish is ironically named, poking fun at the rigidity in recovery dogma. It’s a space for the loud-mouths, truth-tellers, and whistleblowers who believe silence isn’t safety—it’s complicity. We honor lived and living experience by speaking it, embracing flexibility, imperfection, and the multiplicity of paths to wellness. Hosted by Chad Sabora and Robert Ashford, each episode features raw conversations with frontline workers, researchers, people with lived and living experience, policy wonks and makers, creatives, and people whose stories don’t fit cleanly into court (or society) approved narratives. We unpack the politics, policies, and personal messiness that shape the landscape today with segments like The Grant Didn’t Cover That, They Said What?!, and Medically Unnecessary. This is not your sponsor’s podcast (even if it is hosted by two middle-aged white guys...we know, we know, just what the world needs more of). It’s group therapy after everyone stops pretending they’re fine. If you’re tired of the “positive vibes only” trap, if you’ve ever been told your experience doesn’t count, or if you’ve survived a system that was never built for you - welcome. You’re finally in the right place.
