Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

Grab your fidget toys and LISTEN UP because class is in session and Professor Kristin isn’t messing around, except for when she is. This episode we’re hippo-dipping our toes into the neurobiology of ADHD and looking at some of the research behind why we struggle with dopamine, with the help of some silly analogies to keep it entertaining.    Grace has difficulty remembering basic words, but more t...

If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast but you’ve been waiting for the right teachers to come along and inspire you, we have the perfect episode for you while you wait.   We’re talking all things podcasting, from our favorite Quirky listens to how to start your own podcast in Hobby Collectors to a Pod Loft-based Pizza Secret. Join us for this meta turducken of an episode as we answer impo...

No one panic, but we’re rebranding Bagel Bites in our first ever somewhat-mini episode. We would apologize for the sudden switch-’em-up in formatting this week, but this is an ADHD podcast where we’re consistently inconsistent and that’s what you love about us.    Bagel Bites are shorterish episodes that will focus on an ADHD topic, both to bring you more ADHD content and to give Grace an occasion...

In this special petisode episode we’re showing off our debate team skills that don’t exist because we didn’t do debate team and arguing the pros and cons of pet ownership for ADHDers. We get to the bottom of hard-hitting questions such as: What are pets? Are snakes the fish of reptiles? Should you bash a cannibal fish to save the lives of others?    Plus, we’re sharing some of our pet-childrens’ m...

We're a thousand weeks into January and our brains are scrambled, so we'll keep this brief (but still somehow make it too long). In ADHD learning corner we’re discussing the 7 executive functions (or lack thereof), followed by a mind-blowing Hobby Collectors so succinct, you’ll swear it wasn’t there at all.    If you’re sick of hearing us talk about only ourselves all the time you’re in luck, beca...

Get out your tuppies and don’t forget to put down a placemat, because we’ve got a sloppy bean and cheese burrito of an episode for you this week. For starters, it’s Capricorn season and Kristin is celebrating a birthday! That’s right, ol’ Merrylegs is turning 32, but we aren’t ready to put her out to pasture quite yet.    Instead, we’re Mario Partying and goose goofin’ our way into a special video...

It’s cold as the dickens out there, but we can’t stay inside forever, can we? We probably shouldn’t, which is why this Hobby Collectors we’re chatting about skiing, one of our shared childhood hobbies and favorite dopamine sources, as well as some equally fun alternative winter hobbies if you aren’t Daddy Warbucks.    Before that, Kristin uses D.A.R.E-level scare tactics to keep an impressionable...

Look which two ADHD-addled 90’s babes made it to Episode 10! We’re celebrating with a little TLC, some Nickelodeon GaS classics, and explaining outdated references for way too long even though literally nobody asked for it.    Our ADHD topic is magical thinking, a concept that may sound fun in theory, but in reality, may force you to confront your own behaviors and self-deceptions. But in a fun wa...

2021 may have been a piss-drenched garbage fire in many ways, but on the flipside we did start this podcast and that’s something to celebrate, right? This episode we’re doing a year in review as we look back on where we started all those months ago, then look to the future with some ADHD-friendly tips on how to set a few tiny, realistic resolutions for 2022 that won’t leave you hating yourself a w...

In a glorious display of that consistent inconsistency ADHDers are so famous for, we're getting this episode out slightly later than usual, but it's still technically Thursday so we're counting it as a win. Last Minute Grace never fails, except for when she does.    In Episode 8 we chat about emotional dysregulation in ADHD and some tips to work on it, share our ghosts of hobbies that never were,...

Here at WOAF we’re intimately familiar with the annual (interpretive) dance of ADHDers buying gifts for the holidays: we think about starting, tell ourselves we have plenty of time, then suddenly it’s somehow two days before Christmas and we’re frantically looking up mall closing times in a panic. “Next year I’ll definitely get on top of things and start super early, no way I’m making this mistake...

No need to riot, we’re back from our mini-break and gigglier than ever with our usual long-ass episode. This week we’re talking homemade holiday mom vests, Dungeons & Dragons at one point for some reason, and we read our first-ever I’m So Quirky listener write-in! Is there anything more bizarrely comforting than learning another ADHDer has the same extremely specific quirks as you?    In Hobby Col...

This week we’re giving ourselves a little break (which is a lil’ accomplishment in itself) and bringing you a shorter episode with strictly segments.    We start off with I’m So Quirky: Family Edition and share a couple of our family’s little quirks (after all, ADHD is highly genetic ), then we trade some of our favorite racism interrupters and strategies for how to respond to cult members during...

The WOAF women are hitting a lil’ milestone-we’re welcoming our first guest into the pod loft! And by pod loft we mean three felt curtains in Grace’s basement.    Grace’s husband and Kristin’s pal Ian, aka Tall Rudd, sits down with us and shares his personal ADHD story, provides some helpful tips on getting into Fly Fishing in Hobby Collectors, and adds some wonderful baritone to our segment songs...

Your favorite rat queens are back! This week we’re starting off with a few facts about how racism impacts getting an ADHD diagnosis, followed by some ~*quirky*~ segments to balance it out a bit.    Grace makes embroidery cool again and teaches you how to get started with cross stitch and needlepoint in Hobby Collectors, all while showing off her special talent of working rat kings into any convers...

Congratulations to us all for making it to Episode 2! This week we’ll start with an overview of some important ADHD traits, then get into our segments and of course, our songs (whether you want them or not). Kristin takes the lead on Hobby Collectors to teach us about the art of Bonsai and decides whether or not it’s a good hobby for ADHDers. Plus, hear our fashion-forward predictions/demands for...

October has everything: it’s spooky, it’s cozy, and it’s ADHD awareness month, which makes it the best month of the year (this is a fact, don’t argue with us). For all these reasons we thought October would be the perfect month to release the podcast, and in true ADHD fashion, we made it just under the deadline. Some call it a personality flaw, we call it a skill.    In Episode 1 we’re diving into...

Two ADHDers and childhood friends, Grace and Kristin, chat about the ridiculous, frustrating, and hilarious aspects of life with ADHD. Through ever-changing segments, raw musical expression, and interpretive dance that you can't see, we'll take you on a journey into the beautiful, chaotic experience of having ADHD.  New episodes every Thursday, subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts!
