It was like we're getting ready for school, and she came down and plopped on the couch and just said: you know, she said, daddy, why were you not living with us for that period of time? And also she had lots of time with me in Manhattan.
Picture a podcast that blends humor with the harsh realities of addiction. In this episode of Dopey, Dave is joined by his life partner, Linda, for a candid discussion about recovery, parenting, and the legacy of their late co-host, Chris. This conversation takes a poignant turn as they reflect on the recent coverage of Dopey on 'This American Life', sharing the emotional impact it had on them and their listeners.
Linda brings her social work expertise to the table, diving into the tricky subject of when and how to talk to children about addiction. Their dialogue is peppered with personal stories, practical advice, and moments of laughter, making the heavy topics a bit more digestible. Listeners are also treated to snippets from 'Dopey: Chopped and Screwed', a nostalgic look back at some classic Dopey moments.
And as always, the episode features lively voicemails from the Dopey Nation, adding a communal feel to the show. Whether you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, humor, and real-life insights that make it both engaging and comforting.
