• Episode 1: How Two Sober People Ended Up Starting a Podcast
    Mar 10 2026

    In the very first episode of Too Sober For This, recovery expert Shell Righini and comedian Iain Anderson introduce themselves, explain how they met in the comments section of a DJ Fat Tony post, and why two sober people decided to start a podcast about life’s chaos.

    Before this podcast existed, Shell actually interviewed Iain on her recovery podcast We Recover Loudly, and that conversation is where the idea for this show really began.

    In This Episode

    • How Shell and Iain first connected online
    • Shell’s journey through addiction and burnout in hospitality
    • The moment that led her to recovery
    • How We Recover Loudly began
    • Why they decided to start Too Sober For This
    • What topics the podcast will explore going forward

    Expect uncomfortable questions, strong opinions, dark humour, and plenty of laughing at things we probably shouldn’t.

    Because sometimes, even in sobriety we find … we are definitely too sober for this!
