About this listen

We got sober… unfortunately our lives remained completely unmanageable.


Too Sober For This is a podcast about life after addiction, where recovery expert Shell Righini and comedian Iain Anderson pull apart life’s big topics such as love, money, identity, neurodiversity, sobriety, and mental health, with clearer heads and still-filthy mouths.


Part recovery podcast, part comedy podcast, these conversations explore the messy reality of sobriety, addiction, relationships, and being human. You definitely don’t have to be sober to relate. This podcast is for anyone trying to make sense of life, relationships, and the chaos of being human.


Each week Shell and Iain tackle a big question, with a little help from listeners who send in their opinions, experiences, and hot takes, because recovery, relationships, and life rarely come with one simple answer. Expect uncomfortable questions, honest conversations, strong opinions, and a lot of laughing at things they probably shouldn’t.


Because even in sobriety, life still has moments that make you think:
“We are definitely too sober for this.”

    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.
