    On February 13, Zimmern is set to speak at the Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series at Horry-Georgetown Technical College. He's been sober since 1992 and remains active in the recovery and mental health communities. He serves on the boards of several recovery organizations.

    Roger has been covering series founder and organizer Casey King for many years and on various platforms. We also spoke to him on this podcast.
