Liddle Did I Know: Bruised but Breathing
Thanks for walking through this tough one with me. Bruised But Breathing is more than a title—it’s a truth I carried quietly for years. The bullying, the silence, the hiding… it shaped me. But it didn’t stop me. Sometimes, we survive by finding light in hidden places. And for me, that light came from the Cohoes Music Hall. Next time on Liddle Did I Know, I’ll take you deeper into that world—the creaky wooden stage, the velvet curtains, and the people who helped me believe I was more than the labels I’d been given. From Donna and Sheila Quin, to Christopher Doremus, Danny Cuva, and even Ronnie the bartender—these were my guides through the spotlight and the shadows. 🎭 Episode 10: Stage Lights and Second Chances is coming soon. And don’t forget—my memoir, LIDDLE DID I KNOW: From Shadows to Light – My Story, is dropping by year’s end. Keep following the podcast for more stories, more healing, and a few unexpected curtain calls.

In the gripping premiere of Liddle Did I Know: Charged but Not Convicted, David Liddle recounts the moment that changed everything—the day he was arrested for a cannabis-related DUI in Arizona. Joined by his trusted co-hosts Christopher and Angela, David walks us through the arrest, his initial reactions, and the questions that immediately arose: What rights do cannabis patients have? What does impairment really mean under Arizona law? From a peaceful day in the woods to a jarring confrontation with law enforcement, this episode sets the stage for a raw, honest journey into justice, stigma, and survival. It’s not just a story—it’s the start of a mission. I never thought I’d be here—behind this mic, sharing the most personal fight of my life. Not in a courtroom. Not on the street. But right here—with you. This isn’t just about cannabis. It’s about justice, about what it means to be accused when you’ve done everything right. It’s about how the law treats veterans. It’s about what happens when the system tries to make you a number, and you refuse to be counted that way. In Episode 3 of Liddle Did I Know: Charged but Not Convicted, I open up about the real weight behind those four words: "Charged… but not convicted." I’ll take you through the pressure. The fear. The anger. And the quiet resolve that comes when you decide—enough is enough. Join me, Christopher, and Angela… as we go deeper into my story. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a stand.
