After Hours with Jimmy Thistle
Join Jimmy Thistle for After Hours — the brutally honest, funny and heartwarming podcast that dives deep into alcohol, addiction, and recovery.
Each week, Jimmy sits down with real people who’ve faced the highs, lows, and hangovers of drinking culture. Through unfiltered conversation, laughter, and raw honesty, they explore what happens when we start questioning our relationship with alcohol — and what life looks like on the other side.
Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just wondering if alcohol’s got too much of a grip, this show is for you. Expect real stories, a few laughs, and plenty of lightbulb moments from people who’ve been there.
Recorded in the UK and Isle of Man but shared worldwide, After Hours is here to prove that recovery can be real, relatable, and even a little bit funny.

After Hours with Jimmy Thistle
Episode 45 - Ryan Kennedy
Ryan Kennedy is someone who’s lived both sides of life — from addiction and chaos to peace and purpose. After years of battling his demons and rebuilding from rock bottom, he’s now sober and living a life he once thought was impossible.
Ryan hosts the Rock Bottom with Ryan podcast, where he shares raw and honest conversations about recovery, growth, and finding meaning after struggle. When he’s not connecting with others through his story, he trades stocks for a living, spends time with his dog, and hits the golf course to keep his mind clear and grounded.
His mission is simple…to show that no matter how far you’ve fallen, you can always rise again.
