Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Funny, relatable, sometimes absurd, sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking and always human … this is the best podcast out there! If you want to understand the dopiness of addiction, the hope of recovery, or you just want to hear interesting stories and conversations hosted by a master interviewer who isn’t afraid to be himself, then this is the podcast for you! I’ve been listening since the summer of 2018 and I can’t get enough Dopey! Keep it up Dave, stay strong Dopey Nation, and toodles for Chris!

I’ve listened for many years and find hope and inspiration from your show. To hear how you and your guests have had lives that are ‘ off the rails’ and then, eventually, recover to find meaning and purpose beyond drugs and alcohol gives me hope that my son can find this too. And being a parent, I always enjoy when Alan is on the show!!

I found this podcast years ago when I was newly sober and have religiously listened ever since. I have turned many people onto this podcast! It’s so refreshing to laugh and hear about addiction and recovery at the same time. Waiting for new episodes to drop is agonizing. I wish there was a new one every day but grateful for all of the work you put into this podcast, Dave. Thank you to you and all of your guests!

Dave is by far one of my top 3 favorite podcasters. He is a breath of fresh air in the recovery world. Dave has the ability to shine light on what the life is like for a serious drug addict, even the grossest, lowest, absolutely bizarre moments of people’s stories, with a lighthearted and enlightened approach. Sometimes when I listen to this podcast, it makes me wanna get high for maybe a glimpse of a second, but then there’s always the reminder of what is lost in the high & what can only be found by some in the sober moments of their life. Thank you always Dave & don’t forget the way you talk about Chris will forever be one of the most impactful aspects of each episode.
