Real Drug Talk

Real Drug Talk

We Talk about all things alcohol and drugs. We have interviews with people with personal stories, family members that have had to deal with a loved one's alcohol or drug use, interesting experts in the space along with short tips and tricks to help anyone struggling with addictive patterns. We hold a radio show here in Australia so some episodes maybe cut into pieces to remove advertisements and other episodes are just straight from the podcasting studio. We try to have some fun with a sometimes tough subject and the show may contain cursing and adult themes.
