This is the second and concluding part of an interview Ron and Dave conducted with Franney J., the Chair of the NA World Board, and Anthony E., the Executive Director of NA World Services. We spoke of translations and how that process works in NA, management of World Conventions, more about conference preparations and some of the new innovations that will come into play at the conference this year.

This is the third episode in our NA History series featuring Boyd and Chris, researchers into the fellowship's history and culture. This episode focuses primarily on the 1970s, and looks at events in the early '80s as well.

Interview with Mahmoud from Iran. After Iran has become established as the largest NA community in the world, they began to work with other NA communities through partnerships with NA World Service and the Asia Pacific Form. Mahmud describes these efforts in Afghanistan, and tells some stories about his own personal journey and the journey of the Iranian fellowship.

This is a story of the original draft of the NA Fellowship's book, Living Clean - The Journey Continues, written in 1983. The draft was given to NA World Services as a completed manuscript, but was eventually published in 2012 in a very different form than the original, which served as source material when the project was undertaken afresh. In this episode we interviewed the original author of that manuscript, now 83 years old with 56 years of recovery.

An interview with Siamak, a member from Iran who found recovery when there was only 1 group in the country and was involved in service during the time of explosive fellowship growth there. He later went on to become a special worker running the NAWS branch office in Tehran. Ron and Dave query him about what happened in Iran, and ask him to share his personal experience of this phenomenon.
