Let's Talk Recovery: The Hollywood Pitch


THE HOLLYWOOD PITCH
Host: JOHN GRIFFITHS
MONDAYS 7:00pm - 9:00pm


It's "The Hollywood Pitch" where showbiz and the world of recovery collide, hosted by John Griffiths. Movie and TV producers, actors, authors and other notables pop by to participate in upbeat, meaningful conversations about the latest TV shows, movies and books that aim to shed light on addiction in its various forms - from alcoholism to gambling to overeating. John, a noted entertainment journalist, is currently the television critic for Us Weekly and a contributing editor to Women's Health.

UPCOMING SHOWS:

Monday, February 12th, 2007
Entertainment journalist John Griffiths and screenwriter Bennett Yellin (Dumb and Dumber) talk about recovery activism with actor and producer Brad Rowe (Criminal Minds, Shelter), who balances celebrity with helping addicts get off the streets for LA's Chrysalis organization (http://www.changelives.org). On the flip side, psychotherapist Athena Ubach Lennon discusses the challenges of helping showbizzers navigate recovery. And, yes, another round-up of The Celebrity Sobriety Police.
