MONTEL WILLIAMS AND ‘JIMMY’ STAR JEN LILLEY JOIN ‘WE’RE OUT OF TIME’ VETERANS TRIBUTE SERIES

#1 Mental Health Apple Podcast Honors National Veterans & Military Families Month; Also Featuring Marine Veteran Shane Neal and Psychologist Dr. Sharon Birman

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In recognition of National Veterans and Military Families Month, We’re Out of Time, the award-winning podcast hosted by addiction recovery advocate Richard Taite, is dedicating four November episodes to veterans, military families and the challenges of life after service.

The series features Emmy Award-winning television host and Marine Corps and Navy veteran Montel Williams; actress Jen Lilley, who portrays Jimmy Stewart’s wife, Gloria, in the new biopic Jimmy, opening nationwide November 6; Marine veteran and recovery advocate Shane Neal; and military mental health psychologist Dr. Sharon Birman. Together, the conversations explore the lasting impact of military service, the importance of family and community, and pathways to treatment and recovery.

For Taite, founder and chairman of Carrara Treatment Wellness & Spa and chairman of 1 Method Centers, the series reflects a longstanding commitment to helping veterans facing homelessness, addiction and mental health challenges.

“Veterans have already given so much in service to our country. They shouldn’t have to fight another battle just to get help when they come home,” says Taite. “We owe them more than a thank you. We owe them real support, treatment and a chance to rebuild their lives.”

New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 12 PT / 3 PM ET on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other major podcast platforms.
