In a special edition of the Ballymun does Recovery podcast, the host Jimmy Bell discusses all things recovery with a panel of 6 guests. This special podcast was organised as part of Ballymun’s recovery month and took place in Axis centre on Thursday night in front of a live audience. Following on from a similar and very successful event organised by FAST in Finglas last year which Jimmy hosted.This years event followed the same format and was titled a hundred years of recovery as it represented the combined years of recovery of the 6 local guests.

Given the length of the actual recording of the podcast event, we have decided to put it out in two separate episodes.
