Today the majority of schools in the UK break up for the six week summer holidays... So we thought it would be a great time to release this, our Premium Podcast Special!

If you don't know already, every single week we release an extra edition of Over The Influence just for our subscribers and community members. It's Shaz and Ben wanging on about whatever AF topic they want to bring to the table... It's fun, it's honest, and so many people are loving the extra dose of OTI in their podcast app every week.

When we first launched the OTI Premium Podcast, we created a mini-series called Survive The Summer - we talk about bank holidays, boozy BBQs, all inclusive holidays, camping trips, summer events - the lot. And with the school holidays kicking off again, we thought it was a great time to let you know about it.

Because you don't just get our new episodes when you subscribe to the Premium Podcast... You get our whole back catalogue too, which is now over a year's worth of podcasts that we've released every single week without fail!

So, if you need something to listen to when you're on the sunbed, or taking a quiet few minutes away from the kids causing chaos on their summer break... Subscribe now, and let us know what you think!

We found hashtags and sober social media accounts really helpful in our early days alcohol free, as following them can help to reinforce that you are not alone!
