https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/drunk-ish-a-sobriety-podcast--6571766Drunk-ish with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is the podcast for anyone who’s ever sworn off alcohol… and then immediately wondered what the hell to do next. Hosted by author, humorist, and former enthusiastic drinker Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, Drunk-ish serves up brutally honest (and often hilarious) one-on-one conversations with people navigating the wild ride of sobriety. Some are famous, some are just your average legends, but all have stories about quitting drinking — the good, the bad, and the completely unhinged. No preachy vibes, no perfection required — just real talk about what it’s like to stop drinking without becoming a total bore.

We get into his Afghan immigrant upbringing, cussing out his parents in elementary school, drinking 40s in a punk band, and the middle-of-the-night rehab conversation about Megadeth that may have saved his life.

Comedian and longtime podcaster Greg Fitzsimmons joins me for a candid, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about his decades-long journey without alcohol—and why he never calls himself “sober.”

From getting drunk behind the bleachers at 13 to quitting after bombing a stand-up set in Boston, Greg opens up about addiction in his Irish Catholic family, dealing with anger, parenting in the age of weed vapes, and how comedy became his salvation. He also talks about his use of mushrooms for healing, his one-night relapse, and why AA wasn’t the right fit for him—even if its ideas stuck.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit into the “sober” box but knew they needed to make a change.

Jaime takes us through her wild ride from college bingeing to DUIs, marriages that didn’t survive the chaos, and the messy middle of trying to parent two kids—including a son with profound autism—while her drinking spun completely out of control. We laughed, we cried, we bonded over blackouts and bad decisions, and we found the thread of hope that keeps us all going: sobriety.

Jaime takes us through her wild ride from college bingeing to DUIs, marriages that didn’t survive the chaos, and the messy middle of trying to parent two kids—including a son with profound autism—while her drinking spun completely out of control. We laughed, we cried, we bonded over blackouts and bad decisions, and we found the thread of hope that keeps us all going: sobriety.

That’s what happened when I sat down with Laura Cathcart Robbins — author of Stash, host of The Only One in the Room, and someone who knows what it’s like to be the one smiling on the outside while quietly falling apart.

Laura opens up about hiding a pill addiction that no one saw coming, what finally brought her to her knees (and then to a 12-step meeting), and how hard it is to be a Black woman in recovery in rooms that often don’t feel made for you. We talk about code-switching, motherhood, perfectionism, people-pleasing… and the wild idea that you don’t have to do any of it alone.
This episode hit me hard — in the best way. Laura is funny, wise, honest, and so generous with her story. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely feel a little less like you’re the only one.

In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud conversation, host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor welcomes her friend and fellow sober storyteller, Meredith Lynch. Meredith opens up about growing up in a beer-at-dinner kind of household, losing her mother at a young age, and the quiet ways alcohol wove itself into her life. With humor and honesty, she shares how she realized she didn’t need a big dramatic moment to walk away from drinking—just a gut feeling that she deserved to feel better.

They dive into gentle parenting yourself, the emotional weight of caretaking as a teen, being sober-curious in a wine-obsessed world, and why LA might just be the best city to not drink in. Plus: sneaky nostalgia for bad college vodka, the reality of mocktail menus, and the eternal mystery of why Real Housewives are still blackout-drunk on TV.

In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud conversation, host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor welcomes her friend and fellow sober storyteller, Meredith Lynch. Meredith opens up about growing up...never hit rock bottom, but still chose to quit drinking? In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud conversation, host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor welcomes her friend and fellow sober storyteller, Meredith Lynch. Meredith opens up about growing up in a beer-at-dinner kind of household, losing her mother at a young age, and the quiet ways alcohol wove itself into her life. With humor and honesty, she shares how she realized she didn’t need a big dramatic moment to walk away from drinking—just a gut feeling that she deserved to feel better.

They dive into gentle parenting yourself, the emotional weight of caretaking as a teen, being sober-curious in a wine-obsessed world, and why LA might just be the best city to not drink in. Plus: sneaky nostalgia for bad college vodka, the reality of mocktail menus, and the eternal mystery of why Real Housewives are still blackout-drunk on TV.
