Oceanside Tape Project: Recovery Speaker Tapes

The Oceanside Tape Project is a recovery audio preservation project focused on digitizing old A.A. and AFG/Al-Anon speaker tapes and helping move them into XA-Speakers for long-term public access. These recordings come from conventions, conferences, roundups, workshops, group anniversaries, central office collections, tape libraries, and local rooms across the recovery world. Many were recorded decades ago on cassette and passed from hand to hand before podcasts, streaming, and digital archives existed. Our role is simple: find the tapes, digitize them, identify them as carefully as possible, and help keep the message available. This podcast shares selected recordings as part of that preservation effort — voices from A.A., AFG/Al-Anon, and the wider recovery tape tradition, carried forward one tape at a time. oceansidetapeproject.substack.com

A closing meeting is not a decorative assignment. It asks a speaker to gather the room, steady the message, and send people back into their actual lives with something stronger than convention enthusiasm. Al-Anon knows that return trip...

  George D. — New York, NY — AA

  <p>George D. of New York, New York, was not merely an AA speaker with a microphone and a good suit. He was a General Service man — past trustee, past G.S.O. general manager, and one of those rare alcoholics who could speak about service without making it sound like a committee report embalmed in coffee. His known sobriety date is October 1961, and by the time he spoke at the Southern California Convention General Service Speaker Meeting in 1993, he had already carried decades of recovery into the engine room of Alcoholics Anonymous. Not the glamorous part, if such a th...
