EPISODE 060526

On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler was joined by special guest cohost Randell Jefferson while vacationing cohost Mark Sigmund was away. The discussion explored how addiction is viewed, experienced, and addressed across different American cultures, backgrounds, and communities. Drawing on his experience as a nationally recognized talk show host and respected voice within the Black community, Randell shared insights into how cultural traditions, religious beliefs, family dynamics, and social attitudes can influence both addiction and recovery. Together, Gary and Randell examined the importance of understanding these differences in order to create more effective, compassionate, and inclusive approaches to prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery.
