Recovery Radio

We have a good lineup of AA speakers coming up this week.

First off is Jim K. from Brainerd MN speaking on the topic of service work and how important it is to personal recovery. Then, we have Mark H from the Big D, Dallas TX, speaking at the New England Fellowship of the Spirit Conference. He is followed by Pat P. from Cleveland OH,speaking at the C.A.H. group in Euclid OH. Next up is Scott B. from Jamestown ND speaking to the Northern Plains group in Fargo. And finally, to round out the week, we finish up with Sonya B. from Golden Valley MN.  speaking on the topic of “Came to Believe” at Speakerjam 2009 in Waverly. These are people carrying the message of recovery with the hope that someone will hear it.

On the technical side, we had a little trouble with our feed to iTunes not working properly but, it looks like we got everything worked out finally. You can now subscribe to the RRN podcast through iTunes by clicking on the Advanced menu within iTunes then selecting the “subscribe to podcast” item and entering the following url into the popup box. http://recoveryradionetwork.podcastpeople.com 

In a few days, after the changes have replicated through the iTunes system, you will also be able to browse for us in the iTunes store under the podcasts section, or just type recovery radio network in the search box to find us. Since this is new for Recovery Radio, we will keep an eye on things to make sure everything is working as advertised. Our job is to be technical so you don’t have to. This is one of the reasons we decided to launch the Recovery Radio Network on iTunes in the first place.

Late breaking update: We just received confirmation that the podcast feed for the Recovery Radio Network has been accepted by the iTunes review committee. Here is the direct link to the program  provided courtesy of  iTunes .

You will need to have iTunes installed on your computer for it to work of course. If you do not already have iTunes installed, here is a link to get it.

Well, we have finally finished the Joe and Charlie series on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. It seemed to be well received as it was downloaded many times and, although I got a lot of nice e-mail about it, I have to tell you I was beginning to tire of seeing the same tag about it on Itunes. Something about the way the feed was formated for Itunes caused extra characters to appear in the description. I guess this goes in the “Live and Learn” category.

   Yes, I said Itunes. Recovery Radio is on Itunes and you may subscribe to us through them as well, if you are using an Ipod. The subscription on Itunes is free of course, and we thought that having another distribution channel could not hurt, especially if it was the largest, most popular podcast repository on the planet. Stop by Itunes and check out our new “Cover Art”

   We are moving on from Joe and Charlie this week and will start with some Al-Anon speakers. We have a two episode Mary Pearl talk that is, as usual, hilarious. I think everyone can relate to Mary Pearl regardless of what program might be their primary focus. Give it a try and let us hear your feedback either by leaving a  comment on the site, or by dropping us an e-mail.

         By popular demand,we have added a “Subscription” button on the right for your convenience. Clicking it will allow you to take advantage of our $5.00 per month membership plan. For those of you, who would like to express your ongoing support for Recovery Radio in a simple and painless way, this plan is perfect. Simply authorize the one time sign up, and we’ll take care of the rest. Your credit card will automatically be billed $5.00 per month and, you will have the satisfaction of knowing your contributions are helping support the mission of the best Recovery Station on the Internet.

          Or, if you prefer, there is a “Donate” Button on the lower right that will take one-time contributions of differing amounts. Either way, your contributions are fully tax deductible and will be used to help carry the message to an ever growing audience. Please join us in this effort to be of service to the recovery community.
