Prowling around the web can be part of recover or a whole new addiction. I think I'm really on the border.
I just added some old recordings from the 1960 Long Beach International with an incredible host of speakers from key AA development, back through the 1950s and even into the 1940s.
More for the new podcast.
Groovy.

What Came Before
A wonderful organization called "archive.org" make sit possible to create a permanent repository for past web and media files. We have taken advantage of that to make the previous podcasts available - for free, of course.
Archive.org does accept donations.

The Third Podcast
The Anonymous Review has served up two rounds of podcast so far. It is always developing a whole batch of print-on-demand (starting with Simple Directions, a nuts and bolts guide to doing Steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a review of 1, 2 and 3).
And I'm getting the itch again.
Over the past three years there were 27 episodes of Anonymous Review Podcast with the people key in AA history and information key to recovery. Phase II was the Virtual Speaker Meeting. Both of those are still available through archive.org and you're welcome to go listen.
The podcast is to share audio documentation of 12-Step recovery and more in depth exploration of recovery topics.
Phase III Trudge Report will offer themes where one idea is explored for several podcasts - depth rather than width. For example, Bill Wilson has taken on a mythical position in an AA pantheon, which goes against what he tried to build. Over several episodes we will hear what he actually said and his reaction to his own beautification.
After that we may explore individual Steps in depth - take key comments from 20 or 30 speakers on Step One, or Step Four, and link them together. Again, examine the Step for four or eight podcasts to get depth.
I hope that the Phase III will provide a tool for new future trudgers, maybe give an insight that even long time trudgers will find helpful in keeping Steps fresh while integrating the principles of Recovery into their daily lives.
"Principles before Personality" does not mean we can do this work without personalities. I try to keep my last name out of this and to keep the podcasts based on other people's words. Some people know my last name - I'm not trying to make it a mystery, but who I am is not important to anyone but me and the people around me. If you find my name somewhere - no big deal - but it will not appear on the podcast or as part of the podcast pages. If you don't like what I say, write me - or better, do your own podcast and challenge the idea. We can only benefit with the truth being presented, no matter whose ego is involved.
I have no illusion of being "objective." The very nature of recovery is personal and therefor subjective - my brain responds to what I think is important or significant and it may not be the same thing that others think will be important.
The idea has been running around. I ended the Virtual Speaker Meeting a few months ago and worked in others areas of Recovery. The new podcast will begin in the spring of 2011, after my next two projects are completed and out of the way.
