About Crosstalk Podcasts
Crosstalk is a 501(c)(3) built on one idea: recovery should come out of the closet. Anonymity protected people for a century, and it also made recovery invisible to whoever needed to see it next.
Hosted by Corey Rabin and Irini Lygnos, with over 200 long-form conversations recorded out of studios in New York, Los Angeles and South Florida. No scripts, no tidy endings, and nothing behind a paywall.
What people in recovery want to share.
What doesn't make the episode.
The parts we cut. What a guest said once the cameras were off. Who is coming up next and why we went after them. One email, no noise, and you can leave whenever you want.
