About the Podcast

Pondoff’s Anonymous is a weekly podcast recorded in Swansea, Illinois, at the Illinois Recovery Center. We’re a show about recovery, mental health, identity, and the long, messy, hopeful road of becoming whole again.

Launched in 2020 and relaunched in 2025, the podcast features unfiltered interviews with guests from all walks of life—many in recovery themselves—and tackles tough topics with honesty, vulnerability, and unexpected humor.

This isn’t therapy, and it’s not a PSA. It’s real talk about what it takes to stay alive, stay sober, and stay human.

New episodes drop every Monday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and at pondoffsanonymous.com.

Meet the Hosts

Chris Pondoff
Founder and namesake of the show. Chris is in recovery and created the podcast as a raw, unfiltered outlet to tell his story — and now, to amplify others. Equal parts grit and grace, Chris is never afraid to say what others won’t.

Jeff Allen
Media producer and mental health advocate. Jeff brings grounding perspective to each episode and helps the show remain accessible to listeners who aren’t in recovery but care deeply about the work of healing.

Jakob Miller
Executive Director of Illinois Recovery Center. Jakob brings clinical expertise and a calm, compassionate voice to conversations that go deep. His insights shape much of the show’s clarity and direction.
