About the show
Real talk with humans who've been through the storm.
The AR Podcast (formerly The Other Side of Addiction) is hosted by Al Richards - coach, storyteller, and survivor. Every week Al sits down with people who have walked through addiction, divorce, career loss, grief, and crisis - and the experts who help them rebuild. No scripts. No polish. Just honest conversations about what it really takes to come back.
If you've been knocked down, are walking someone through their hardest season, or want to hear how other men found their footing again - this is your front door.
