You get both of these amazing episodes in one day! If you have not listened to my excellent interview with William Schaberg, then you are in luck today! If you have, you'll love going over this again! I hope you consider buying his book, "Writing the Big Book," which I will link in the notes. You'll be blown away by Bill's insight.
In Part 2 of the interview with Bill Schaberg, we discuss:

• What really happened when Ebby Thatcher visited Bill Wilson (The Kitchen Table Story)
• The problem with most AA history
• The many stories Bill told on how the steps were written
• Who really wrote, “To Wives,” and the urban legends about this chapter
• Hank Parkhurt’s role in writing the Big Book and his later resentment of Bill Wilson

Check out Bill Schaberg's site writingthebigbook.com where you can pick up his book, Writing the Big Book.
