TMATM’s Midtown ties demand scrutiny

The Meeting After The Meeting should answer directly for its reported connections to Midtown. A source with personal knowledge of people involved in the podcast says current Midtown members founded it and identifies Ravi, named in recent episode credits, as still involved in Midtown. For listeners encountering the show as a recovery podcast, that is relevant context.

We are withholding the source’s identity. The central concern is straightforward: who is behind this platform, what ties do they maintain to Midtown, and what influence do those ties have on the show?

A different lineup does not settle those questions

The public record shows the podcast’s presentation changing over time. Its RSS feed dates the first listed episode to February 16, 2023 and describes early episodes as live Zoom discussions. A February 16, 2024 Apple Podcasts listener review thanks John, Chris, and Gabe. That review identifies people a listener associated with the show; it is not an official founders’ credit.

By episode 152, dated May 12, 2026 in the feed, the show names Ravi and Ryan as hosts and Walker as producer. Later descriptions name the same three people.

Those credits support a change in the on-air team. They do not establish a transfer of ownership, explain the founders’ continuing role, or answer the source’s account of an ongoing Midtown connection through Ravi. Listeners should not have to guess what changed behind the microphone.

Make the affiliations clear

This site calls on the people responsible for TMATM to provide clear, dated answers:

• Who founded the podcast, and who owns and controls it now?
• What roles do Midtown members hold in hosting, production, guest selection, and editorial decisions?
• Was there a formal handoff? If so, what changed, when, and who retained a role?
• Can guests discuss criticism of Midtown and accounts of harm without being excluded or pressured to soften what they say?

These questions concern the credibility and independence of a platform addressing people in recovery. A familiar voice or an encouraging sobriety story is no substitute for transparency about the people shaping the discussion.

Keep the history in view

The accounts and historical reporting collected on this site explain why Midtown’s influence deserves scrutiny. The podcast’s affiliations should be examined openly. Changing credits should not end that examination.

Read the show’s public links and episode history. If you have early credits, a dated handoff announcement, or firsthand information about its operation, send the source or a correction. The show’s participants are welcome to provide a response. Tell us whether your identity and message may be published.
