Our Editor's Take

The ADHD Adults Podcast uses facts, humor, and relatability to deal with ADHD. James Brown, Sam Brown, and Alex Conner are adults with ADHD. Each has a different way of coping and making life manageable. By sharing their experiences, they seek to show listeners that there's more than one way to live with ADHD. They also hope to help the audience feel less alone and a part of a supportive community.

In each episode of The ADHD Adults Podcast, the hosts choose a central theme to explore. It usually analyzes how ADHD affects and interacts with other areas of life. In one episode, the hosts discuss managing the condition and stress at the same time. In another episode, they talk about the correlation between ADHD and insomnia.

Each episode has three set segments to make the podcast digestible for listeners with ADHD. This can help the audience know what to expect. First is the research portion of the show, which Alex is in charge of. The ADHD coach presents recent statistics regarding the main topic and academic studies. He also explains strategies for managing symptoms and treatment options according to science. As he speaks, the other two hosts ask clarifying questions while making jokes as they go.

Once Alex finishes, the hosts move on to a segment called "Personal Reflections." This is the place for all three hosts to share their experiences and how they relate to the research. They tell anecdotes from their past and dissect their coping methods. The final section of the podcast is "Just the Tip." It's a chance for the three hosts to provide short, actionable advice. For example, in an episode about careers, James instructs listeners to think about what they find enjoyable and rewarding. This exploration could help them find a job where they are less distracted.

Episodes of The ADHD Adults Podcast come out every Monday. It can be a great way for listeners to prepare for the week with educational and hilarious content.
