A new podcast addressing myriad issues pertaining to addiction in the LGBTQIA+ community has been launched. “No Matter What Club” is a one-hour, weekly show featuring some of the nation’s foremost experts addressing the pressing matters of the day. Available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
-- In response to the dearth of information pertaining to addiction in the LGBTQIA+ community, No Matter What Recovery has launched its own podcast directly addressing the myriad issues this vulnerable population are facing while offering hope for the future, announced showcreator Paulo Anthony Arranaga-Grayson. The “No Matter What Club” is a one-hour, weekly show featuring some of the nation’s foremost experts addressing the pressing matters of the day.
Arranaga-Grayson will host the podcast each week, and will be joined by drop-in co-hosts Anthony Arranaga-Grayson (co-founder of No Matter What Recovery), Mell McCracken (Executive Director of No Matter What Recovery and a leading expert on chemsex education), and Jack Moll (Program Director of No Matter What Recovery). Located in Los Angeles, No Matter What Recovery specializes in LGBTQ+ affirming care by providing both inpatient and outpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment services.
Podcast topics will include the role that discrimination and societal rejection play in addiction, the prevalence of chemsex (also referred to as sexualized drug use), how recent changes in legislation are impacting the trans community, the destructive nature of internalized homophobia, the need for specialized treatment options, etc.
“We recognize that the LGBTQIA+ population has far too often been left out of the conversation and lack access to accurate, pertinent, thorough and potentially lifesaving information,” said Paulo Anthony Arranaga-Grayson. “We intend for our podcast to shine a light on key issues so the audience can find a positive path to the future.”
McCracken added, “Our community faces many important issues that deserve attention. Even if a viewer isn't personally affected, they may have an LGBTQIA+ family member or friend who is struggling. This podcast offers insight into their loved ones' experiences and provides guidance on how to support them.”
In addition to the panel, which is composed of some of the nation’s leading experts on addiction and mental health challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ community, guests will include those who have struggled with their identities and substance misuse. Through these firsthand, heartfelt testimonials, the Arranaga-Graysons hope that viewers will be able to relate to their stories and gain valuable insight that will help them carve a path forward. The podcast can be downloaded on all major streaming platforms including, Apple, Spotify, iheart, Amazon and YouTube.
