Great discussions

The podcast works well as a companion to using the Sunnyside app, but also is a good listen for people who have never used the app but are curious about mindful drinking!

Cool guests and interesting info on reducing drinking

The speakers are so interesting, and they don’t just focus on drinking less; it’s not a lecture. These are cool interviews with interesting people. And there’s a bunch of helpful info on how to drink less too.
