Where we would be without a little imperfection and a whole lot of laughs? The Bubble Hour podcast usually ran smoothly, but we certainly had our share of goof-ups and giggles! Technical issues, tongue twisters, dropped calls, on-air surprises. No matter what happened we took it in stride and the show carried on. This episode is a bit of fun as we look back on the lighter side of podcasting over the years.
Somehow we still managed to turn those moments of calamity into a reminder that we stay sober, nomatter what!

This epsiode looks back on the evolution of the show, the hosts, and their relationships with one another and the listeners and guests over the history of the show.

The final season of The Bubble Hour begins by looking back at the orgins of the show. Ellie and Lisa unfolded this project in 2012 with no idea if anyone would even listen. Soon pal Amanda helped out on and off the air, and many others joined as callers and guests.
What started out as a bit of fun soon grew into a recovery tool helping people around the globe feel connected. Staying sober is a little easier with friends to lean on, and The Bubble Hour hosts and guests became allies in recovery to listeners everywhere.

"Me and booze don’t go well together, its like bunk beds and ceiling fans – the two just don’t work," says Victoria. "There are always disastrous results and it’s just taken me a million hangovers to realise that I was always the drunkest person in the room."

Jenny's path to recovery included several "fasts" from alcohol - planned, supported breaks for 30 or more days as she worked to envision her life without drinking. When her father died, she longed to honor her grief by feeling it fully. She now sees how living alcohol-free allows her to live engage more actively in her life. As a writer, Jenny feared that alcohol was entwined with creativity--but has discovered the very opposite is true! She has used the down time during the covid pandemic to turn her attentions to a novel she wrote decades earlier. Of Butterflies and Bullies is loosley based on Jenny's experience of being bullied in her pre-teen years, and the project has been healing and gratifying.
