One for the Road: The Quit Drinking Podcast25 Okt 2023

The Producer Who Started Questioning Her Own Drinking: Danny Martinez

100 episodes. Hundreds of stories. One conversation Dave has been wanting to have for a long time.

For the 100th episode of One for the Road, Sober Dave sits down with the woman who has been there since episode one. Danny Martinez is the producer behind the show, and over the past two years, working on every single episode has quietly changed her own relationship with alcohol.

In this special episode, Danny opens up for the first time about her own drinking. The bottle of wine in the early 20s. The lockdown years when wine became a bottle plus several large whiskeys every night. The husband gently asking if she was drinking too much. The chronic illness that turned out to be stage four endometriosis, undiagnosed for decades. The pain she was numbing. And the slow, uncomfortable awakening that came from editing hundreds of hours of sober conversations.

Dave and Danny also share their favourite guests, the bloopers, why this show has no mid-roll ads, and what they hope the next 100 episodes will bring.

If you have ever drunk to cope, drunk through pain, or wondered if your wine habit is more than just a habit, this conversation will hit hard.
