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 30 - Marcus Jones
Marcus Jones – Alcohol-Free Coach, Ultra Runner, and Mental Health Advocate
Following a turbulent divorce and years of using alcohol to cope, Marcus Jones turned his life around through sobriety, discipline, and relentless self-development. What began as a personal reset evolved into a powerful mission to help other men break free from the same destructive patterns.
Now over four years alcohol-free, Marcus leads Booze to Better — a coaching program built for men ready to quit drinking and start living with purpose. He's gone from rock bottom to running ultra-marathons, mentoring others, and speaking openly about the realities of mental health, addiction, and rebuilding self-respect.
Through raw honesty, lived experience, and no-nonsense guidance, Marcus helps men become the fathers, partners, and leaders they know they can be.
