Introduction
Having previously published episodes of The Jewish Drinking Show on Alcoholism in the Jewish Community, Jewish Addiction Awareness, and Jewish Recovery, the newest episode features stories and insights from an individual, Matthew Check, who went through his own journey from alcoholism to sobriety.

Biography of Guest
Currently based in Cincinnati, Check has built a career that defies easy categories. A singer-songwriter and banjo player, he has released multiple albums of Jewish music, seen two of his letters published in The New Yorker (a source of endless pride for his grandparents), and even played banjo on the Emmy-nominated theme song for FX’s Justified. His forthcoming book, What Would Philip Roth Do?, is an edgy, self-aware memoir about a Jewish bluegrass musician’s move to New York City and his fumbling, funny, and heartfelt search for love.
