Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

We’re gearing up for a two-week April break from the podcast to give our weary brains a rest, but before we go we wanted to give you a big meaty bite to remember us by.    In this dense Bagel Bite we’re making much-needed public apologies to some, starting new beef with others, and sharing wildly uncomfortable Pizza Secrets that you’ll wish we didn’t.    Come laugh and cringe and Tina Belcher groa...

All the bathtub gin left us a little queasy last week (we really should’ve cleaned that tub first), but once the barfing cleared we inexplicably found ourselves thirsting for more. That’s why, this week, we’re quenching our thirst with an all-aperitif meal of listener write-ins.    In this liquid Bagel Bite we’re raising an Aperol Spritz to some Lil’ ‘Plishes, toasting Caparis to a head-bonking Pi...

Drain your bathing tubs but no need to clean them, because this episode we’re making bathtub gin and it just wouldn’t be the same without that secret flavor: family.    In Hobby Collectors Kristin teaches us all about her newfound lifestyle as an old-timey moonshiner, including some captivating gin hobby history, what materials you need to get started, and why she thinks it’s a great hobby for ADH...

In Part 1 we set the anxiety stage, and now, we’re ready to dazzle you as we flawlessly dance across it.    With Kristin playing herself in the lead role of ‘Most Anxious ADHDer Alive’ and Grace fucking around in the background, we’ll take you on a whimsical ear journey through the complicated one-two step of anxiety and ADHD. Metaphorically look uponst us as we Fosse dance into the comorbidity ra...

Put your hats on and then prepare for them to be blown off, because Grace finally read her physical copy of ADDitude magazine, and now, you’re all gonna hear about it. In this substantial Bagel Bite, we’re discussing an article about the cognitive and behavioral benefits of positive parenting for ADHD children and the importance of praise and positivity for all ADHDers, big or small.    Plus, Kris...

The nervous system is a complicated and unknowable beast, responsible for communication between your body and brain and capable of sending you into an anxiety spiral at the drop of a hat just for funsies. Lucky for you, after both learning about the nervous system various times throughout our lives and retaining nothing, we’ve finally locked that knowledge down and we are here to bestow our hard-e...

Shimmy into those legwarmers and grab a microphone-shaped object, because this Bagel Bite we’re inspiring you to heal your nervous systems and face down your shame monsters by laughing like no one’s listening, by dancing like you’ve never been publicly mocked for dancing before, and by singing like you didn’t grow up in a house with a neurodivergent father who hated loud noises unless he was the o...

Well, we know we’re really gonna piss off the meadheads with this one, but hey, comedy is controversial, and we refuse to compromise on our craft, mild consequences be damned.   In this segs-only episode of what many are already calling 2023’s hottest pump-up podcast, we’re bashing on sweet wines (and rightly so) before getting into some controversial Quirks, gossiping about terrible ADHDers, gett...

Snuggle into your jammies and don’t forget to plug in those nightlights, because this episode we’re coming to you live from a trundle bed to tell you a ghoulish bedtime tale about the most commonly (over)diagnosed mental disorder and Kristin’s lifeblood: generalized anxiety.    If you were hoping for a bunch of heated rants about the DSM-5 and how anxiety is meant to be a diagnosis of exclusion, y...

Pack your bags at the last minute and don’t forget to set 1,000 alarms, because this episode we’re taking to the skies and we can’t have anyone falling behind, you know how important punctuality is to us.    Kristin may have a case of bad brain, but that doesn’t stop her from giving an EGOT-worthy performance as she bravely shares her traveling tale in this tasty little nib; it’s a story of determ...

The new year always hits a little different when you have ADHD and can’t feel the passing of time, but we don’t need to feel time to know in our hearts and in our butts that 2023 is going to be the biggest year ever for WOAF and friends. In this special New Year’s episode, we’re looking back at our accomplishments and failures from the past year, reflecting on Who We Are Now, and setting reasonabl...

The painful sting of rejection comes for us all at some point, but when you have ADHD that rejection mighty morphs into shame’s final form, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and burrows deep into your brain body and soul, waiting to gutpunch you with memories of your past failures around every corner. And if you say that description is dramatic, it will make me cry so please don’t.   In this ep...

We promised you some silly segs this week, so silly segs are what you’ll get. This episode we invited former Hot Topic employee and Tide Pod Challenge survivor, Priscilla, back into the pod loft to share all the little ADHD things that make her oh-so-quirky. From her sage plant mom advice to her clever guest-created Urkle-based Alternative Segment to her inability to turn left, Priscilla will keep...

Get out your handkerchiefs and prepare to feel inspired as shit, because this episode we’re inviting devout listener and fellow weirdo Priscilla into the pod loft, and by golly can she string a motivational sentence together better than we ever could.    In Part 1 Priscilla dives into her ADHD diagnosis journey and all the ways it’s changed her life so far, her ADHD strengths and needs, and how he...

At this stage of the podcast we know our listeners have come to expect a high level of performance and organization from us, but not every episode can strictly adhere to a structured outline or topic and that’s just reality, so get over it.    In this Greasy little Bagel Bite we’re bringing you a scrumptious smorg, stuffed to the brim with email trauma, listener comments, hot dishwasher tips, chic...

Sharpen your finest pitchforks and grab a fistful of garbage, but leave your poops at home, because this episode Kristin is laying down the warm vague facts on composting, and while she may not be an expert just yet, she knows for a fact that poops do NOT go in there, so stop. asking.    Plus, Grace has a pocket full of worms and is a cheese girl through and through, Kristin shares a milk secret s...

Are you stuck in an endless loop of putting way too many tasks on your to-do list for the day, thereby overwhelming yourself with how much needs to be done, getting stuck on the couch wasting the day away unable to start on anything because you don’t know where to start so you just don’t, eventually going to bed having done absolutely nothing from said to-do list, feeling shitty and guilty about i...

Remember how we said we started this podcast to spite our enemies? Well, today’s the day we really get that ball rolling.    In this bleep-filled Bagel Bite, we’re saying loser loser with a twist, whatever kiss this to our middle school bullies as we talk about shame, embarrassment, Myspace, and the importance of nurturing your weirdness. Plus, Kristin shares the situations in which she would cybe...

Well, you can release those baby’s breaths, because this episode we’re getting around to part 2 of our discussion on ADHD & relationships, an episode that was never meant to exist but we love it just the same. We’re wrapping it up on how emotional regulation impacts ADHD relationships before revealing the many positives of dating an ADHDer and sharing our personal experiences trying to date amongs...

Pop that champagne and roll up a joint, because WOAF is turning one this week and dammit, we deserve to be celebrated.    We’ve flawlessly and effortlessly kept this podcast horse train on the tracks for a full year now, so to commemorate our ginormous ADHD accomplishment we’re spending this episode doing a year in review. We’re looking back at how far we’ve come, what we’ve learned so far, favori...

Dating, huh? We love the stuff, which is why this episode we’re diving into the ins and outs of how ADHD shows up in dating and relationships. From communication to forgetfulness to a strict adherence to tuppie instructions, we’ll break down all the reasons why dating an ADHDer can be difficult, but worth it.    We may not remember to pay the water bill every month, but who needs water when you ha...

Lace up your tap shoes and get those jazz hands ready, because this week we’re clickity-clacking our way into tapping, a.k.a. emotional freedom technique (EFT), a form of somatic therapy that’s worlds different from tap dancing so I’m not really sure why you wore your tap shoes, frankly it feels a little inappropriate.   In Hobby Collectors Grace covers what tapping is, why it’s so beneficial for...

Start trilling those lips and happy-patting those thighs, because this episode we’re letting our stimming freak flags fly and we can’t be the only ones making a ruckus in the hallway.    In what will surely need a follow-up episode, this ADHD learning corner we’re laying the groundwork on hyper/hyposensitivities and stimming, a.k.a self-stimulatory behaviors–and no, we don’t mean masturbating (you...
