  • 100 Objects #20: AA Sobriety Chip

    100 Objects #20: AA Sobriety Chip
    Oct 2 2026

    Comedian, writer, and podcaster Jamie Loftus has always known about Alcoholics Anonymous. As a kid, she loved the album where her dad kept all his AA chips – that little piece of plastic that marks a day, a month, a year of sobriety. Now as an adult, Jamie has her own AA sobriety chip, and getting it made her wonder where it came from. What she found is that imbued in that little chip is a hidden history — from Prohibition to women’s suffrage — of America’s relationship to gender, religion, and morality.

    A History of the United States in 100 Objects is a production of 99% Invisible and BBC Studios.

This is the best and most interesting pod I know and I love Roman Mars voice. it's really soothing and make me relax. I have learned so many little things by listening. It's worth going to their webpage to see the pictures for each episode too if you have the time.

Love this pod!
