SOBERCITY
A raw, heartfelt podcast where a host in early recovery has candid conversations with addicts and their families about their journeys.
This is a raw, immediate document of early recovery. The host, Seth, who is only a couple of years sober himself, interviews guests about their addiction and recovery, often including their rock-bottom moments. A significant and distinct focus is placed on the 'other side' of addiction, with frequent episodes dedicated to the spouses, children, and loved ones of alcoholics, including a deeply personal interview with his own wife.
“The show's most distinctive feature is its dual focus on the addict and their family, often interviewing both sides of the same story in separate episodes. The host's own recent sobriety gives the conversations an urgent, non-preachy, and deeply personal quality that sets it apart from more established or clinically-focused recovery podcasts.”
Who hosts this show
SOBERCITY is hosted by Seth M., who began his own sobriety journey in August 2023. Each episode features deep, raw, and inspiring stories from individuals who have reclaimed their lives from addiction. The podcast also prominently features the perspectives of family members, aiming to foster a dialogue of awareness, compassion, and understanding for everyone touched by addiction.

What you'll be asked on this show
Seth's interview style is conversational and highly empathetic. He often opens with a heartfelt, personal introduction for the guest before allowing them to share their story, often in a long, uninterrupted narrative. He builds rapport by sharing his own related experiences and being openly vulnerable about his past. Rather than a structured Q&A, the conversations flow organically from the guest's story, with Seth prompting for more detail or offering reflections that create a raw, honest, and supportive atmosphere. He doesn't push back, but rather co-narrates the journey with his guests.
The format is primarily long-form, one-on-one interviews, with occasional solo episodes where the host reflects on his own journey. Seth often opens episodes by identifying himself as an alcoholic, setting a tone of radical honesty. He is an empathetic, emotionally available interviewer who uses his own vulnerability to build trust with his guests, and he closes each show with the signature phrase: "Life is beautiful, sobriety is worth it. Thank God for today. This is SoberCity."
