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.

Uncover
our story
There was a time when Jimmy genuinely didn’t believe sobriety was possible for him.
Alcohol had taken him to countless rock bottoms, and every attempt to stop seemed to end in another relapse, another promise broken, another morning wondering how life had become so small.
But somewhere in the chaos, something changed.
Nearly six years ago, Jimmy got sober. Not perfectly. Not magically. Just one day at a time. Since then, he has rebuilt his life through honesty, connection, and recovery.
Through After Hours with Jimmy Thistle, he now shares raw and real conversations with people who have lived through addiction, loss, struggle, and transformation. Stories filled with hope, resilience, humour, truth, and second chances.
The aim is simple:
To help people feel less alone.
To start conversations that matter.
And maybe, for someone listening in the dark at 2am, to show that recovery is possible for them too. Learn more
