That Sinking Feeling

Health EN ↓ 8 Folgen

Adventures in ADHD and ship salvage. A multi-generational story about a son’s ADHD, a grandfather’s ship salvage career, and a mother’s struggle to understand the challenges of each. Every episode contains one ship salvage job and explores the life lessons gleaned from those tales. The salvage jobs, as improbable as it may seem, became metaphors for understanding her son’s ADHD. Host Elizabeth Rynecki delves into this unlikely intersection over 6 episodes, talking to her son, her father and people whose lives have been touched by ADHD.

Episode 7: Field Trips and Sunken Ships 12.08.2025

Episode 7 of That Sinking Feeling tells the story of a nuclear submarine that sank just north of San Francisco, and the ramifications of a son purposefully peeing on the floor of a grade school bathroom.

Episode 6: Hopes and Fears 17.02.2025

The Kungsholm was a passenger ship that went aground in the Caribbean. My Dad salvaged her while more than 450 guests stayed aboard. In this episode we talk about the way every inconvenience is just a misunderstood adventure.

Episode 5: My Mother Loved Me on Ritalin 09.02.2025

The Betty L was a 420-foot barge built especially for a sewer project for the City of San Francisco’s Clean Water Project. Only a week after going into service she was grounded on the beach. My father’s proposed solution involved quick action. Which could have been wrong, but in the end saved the barge. This episode is about ADHD medication.

Episode 4: Drop The Rope 03.02.2025

The Igara was an Italian ore ship that partially sank in the South China Sea. Her bow sunk below the waves while her stern section remained entirely visible. My Dad used explosives to cut her in half, sacrificing the bow to save the valuable stern.

Episode 2: Shame 20.01.2025

The Eldia, a Maltese freighter that went aground on Cape Cod, generating massive interest from the community which flocked to the beach to see the ship.

Episode 1: Fiery Wreck 13.01.2025

The Sea Witch, departing from Staten Island, crashed into an oil tanker and exploded. Later she was towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. And then fell over in drydock. Host Elizabeth Rynecki's dad custom designed a multicell buoyancy assist module (kind of like a giant pool floaty) to refloat her. Elizabeth wishes she too could design a metaphorical module to help Owen navigate life with ADHD.  This e...
