Hello hello and welcome to Retrieving Sanity, and I'm your host, Keegan.

This is a re-do of a 13 minute intro to the podcast when I had little-to-no-idea of what I was doing. Quick highlights of the podcasts' history are noted and condensed. Here's the whole script if you want to read it yourself.

"Here on Retrieving Sanity, we talk to everyday people getting their stories of triumph, from situations, addictions, circumstances, or even themselves and how they came to improve their life and seek to help others do the same. We also speak with mental health experts to get their perspectives and experiences to help us better understand The Human Condition and how we can Retrieve some Sanity in our Lives. This is the second Official Intro, a re-do, to mark the growth of the podcast since its inception in January of '23. Early episodes depict myself exploring aspects of Recovery and some early interviews that helped pave the way to getting the show on the air. A little later, I'm joined with my co-host, Simba, as we discuss Recovery, and what Life situations we've handled. Simba had to take a leave for an undetermined amount of time, but he will return for some specials when he is able! Now, with listener and guest feedback, the episodes will have more prominent conversational aspect as opposed to being more narrative to really get to know our guests and pick their brains. Be sure to check out retrievingsanity.com for a list of guests that have been on the show and all of their links, and if you want to be on the show, just email me which you can find on the website. Episodes will be released on Sundays and Thursdays to accommodate the influx of guests that I've had recently. Livestreams will be on Podbean on Saturdays near the evening if I'm able, and interviews shall be livestreamed which could be found on Youtube. Thank you for listening, and please leave this episode a like or comment to let me know you made it all the way through! Also, could I ask you, my favorite listener, to please rate the podcast after listening to a few episodes, and subscribe if you want to hear more! I appreciate each and everyone of you that listen, and I hope to bring better content as the podcast continues to grow! Thank you again, and much love. Slan!" #podcast #retrievingsanity #introduction #beginning #middle #mentalhealth #addiction #recovery #trauma #depression #anxiety
