SoberPod Connect

What happens when two strangers sit down face-to-face and talk about the challenges of getting and remaining sober? With no scripts, no experts, no filters—just honesty. That’s the idea behind Sober Pod: Connect. We aim to create a human connection in each episode by pairing two individuals who have never met and inviting them to share their stories and experiences in sobriety. Think of it as a meeting between strangers, with the cameras on.

How It Works

• Sign Up – Fill out the form below to join the participant list.

• Get Matched – We’ll pair you with another person in recovery and confirm the date.

• Show Up – You’ll meet for one hour on video using Riverside.fm. (see Riverside.fm help section for more information on what you will need to record)

• Talk – Use our starter questions—you will be provided with 5 questions each during the recording, or you may just let the conversation flow.

What to Expect

• Anonymity respected – Use your first name only.

• Conversation starters provided – 10 questions (5 each) to keep things moving.

• Unscripted honesty – No rules, no pressure, no preaching.

• Community impact – Your story helps others feel connected as you share your journey.

Why Participate?

Recovery thrives on connection. By sharing your journey with another stranger, you not only strengthen your own sobriety—you create a ripple effect for listeners around the world.

This isn’t therapy. It’s just two people, talking about what it means to get and stay sober—real, raw, and in the moment.
