Unfortunately Jenn wasn't able to make this interview, but I was fortunate enough to have a great conversation with Doug Mathews about his sobriety journey and "recovering out loud" via his podcast Canadian Sober Eh. This one took longer than we hoped to publish, but we're glad we were able to get this out during the Holiday Season, as this is often a difficult time for those that are working towards sobriety.
Please listen with care to this episode as there are potential triggers during portions of this conversation that include mentions of suicidal ideation as well as addiction. This is a difficult, sensitive topic, but Doug is able to sprinkle in humour and positivity throughout, which are skills that greatly aid him on his sobriety journey and have helped so many other people feel comfortable enough to share their sobriety story with him.
We hope you enjoy this episode and we at the Collingwood Public Library wish everyone a safe and happy holidays.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
