Built By The Red Stick

Ronnie LeDuff, Michael Oakley

Booking Overview

This is a weekly addiction-recovery interview show centered on candid conversations with people who have lived through substance misuse, recovery, and related challenges, plus counselors, treatment professionals, and community advocates. Agencies could credibly pitch recovery advocates with compelling firsthand stories, addiction counselors, treatment-center leaders, mental-health advocates, and relevant local voices; booking difficulty is likely low because guests are generally accessible professionals or people with lived experience rather than nationally prominent figures.
