Matthew Jarvis grew up in a home where his parents fought a lot, sometimes violently. That situation set the stage for years of difficult relationships and a crack cocaine addiction. But then a realization led Matthew to change his outlook on life -- and ultimately help others with similar challenges. Back From Broken is a show about how we are all broken sometimes, and how we need help from time to time. If you’re struggling, you can find a list of resources at BackFromBroken.org. Host: Vic Vela Lead producer: Luis Antonio Perez Editor: Dennis Funk Producers: Jo Erickson, Rebekah Romberg Music: Daniel Mescher, Brad Turner, Blue Dot Sessions Executive producers: Brad Turner, Rachel Estabrook
