Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, or as many know him, the Monty'man, the show explores whether recovery media violates the Eleventh Tradition of maintaining personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
Monty'man doesn't just scratch the surface; he takes a deep dive into the tradition's history and significance, especially for newcomers who rely on anonymity for protection. Throughout the episode, Monty'man breaks down the delicate balance between attraction and promotion in public relations. He also discusses how public radio plays a role in recovery advocacy without crossing ethical boundaries. The episode offers a thoughtful look at how recovery media can maintain friendly relations with the broader world while upholding crucial traditions.
One standout moment is Monty'man's discussion on the importance of accountability and the potential benefits of adding disclaimers to recovery media. He even brings up The Grapevine, AA's meeting in print, to illustrate how these principles have been navigated historically. Whether you're a long-time member of a Twelve Step fellowship or someone curious about the intricacies of recovery traditions, this episode provides a balanced and engaging exploration of a controversial issue.
