(Alternate Episode Title: "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" but Cate couldn't decide which one was funnier). In this episode, Cate and Erik discuss time blindness- what it is, how it affects their lives, and some tips, tricks and the COOL STRATS they use to help manage their time, and talk about the challenges and difficulties they face in never knowing exactly what time it is. We also get into a fight. Okay like...the exact opposite thing as a fight. Also the Patreon Song is the most A...

Welcome back to the second part of our live Captive Audience series of ADHDnD. In this episode, Blumken and Helvetica find themselves embroiled in the tag-team wrestling match of the century and also Cate pulls off the single greatest sight gag in podcast history because physical humor makes a lot of sense in an aural medium. Also we get beat up by the audience. Parts three will be released next Tuesday, so stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of Captive Audience. Check out our tour schedule ...

By (shockingly frequent) popular request, here is our first episode about cooking! In this episode, Catie and Erik break down some of their feelings about the challenges (and delights) of cooking with ADHD. Erik shares more about his past as a chef, Catie has a podcast breakthrough, and then we talk a little bit about self-love and what the looks like in the kitchen. Also, we recorded the interstitials live on Twitch and they are hilariously bad this week, you're welcome. Check out our tour sche...

In this Very Special three-part ADHDnD one shot, Blumken and Helvetica appear in front of a live studio audience- both in-game and IRL, because this episode is brought to you Live From PlayOnCon! We were so honored to bring ADHDnD for a spectacular three-night event hosted by our indefatigable DM Chris, who put together an interactive DnD game that brought the audience (literally) into the action and dealt with our nonsense live, which is honestly impressive in and of itself.

In this, our very first live show ever, Catie and Erik are joined by a live studio audience at PlayOnCon! In this episode, they talk (kind of) about ADHD and gaming, and we end with a *very* wholesome q&a with the audience, in which we discuss authentically being yourself, finding comfort in your own skin (or not) and how best to navigate a world that isn't particularly designed for the neurodivergent brain. Also people like, cheer and stuff. No big deal. Check out our tour schedule at: Tour...

In this episode, Catie and Erik take a break from their cross-country road-trip breakdown (the car kind, not the brain kind) to ...attempt...to set some intentions for InfiniteQuest Season Two....what transpires is both proof that two people with ADHD should not spend ten hours in a truck and then make a podcast but also that ...y'know what? Maybe things are going to be okay, or, at least, the start of something new. CW : Catie and Erik talk briefly about depictions of mental illness and systemi...

In this episode (recorded live on twitch), Cate and Erik...boldly attempted to make an episode about moving, but it turned into something...a little less focused. Cate spends a weird amount of time talking about the Rocketeer, how much Victorians sweat in their chemises and unpacking one of her biggest regrets, and Erik contributes some suggestions on how to plan and prepare for a move. Cate contributes literally nothing this episode because they spent the entire time distracted by the twitch ch...

In this episode, Catie talks about the poem "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver and self-acceptance.

In this episode, Catie and Erik discuss the ongoing and weirdly pervasive conspiracy theory-esque suggestion that ADHD isn't real. (Spoilers, it is). However, we wanted our podcast to be more than 30 seconds long, so we spend some time talking about some of the more common misconceptions and questions we get asked about ADHD, and also Catie has, ironically, one of the worst ADHD meltdown days she's ever had while trying to record, so things get kind of weird.

Ah, how the turns have tabled. In this episode, we swap role and this time, it's Erik in the hot seat as we delve into just how Erik became...well, Erik. And speaking of tables, we talk a lot about how dinner table conversation shaped little baby Erik into the Very Excellent Person he is today.

In this episode, Catie sits down to have a candid conversation about parenting with Dr. Kimberly Douglass, Owner and CEO of Remote Learning Solutions (and pretty awesome Neurodiverse tiktoker). Originally we planned for this episode to be about school, but we wound up talking about something far more important- how to support your Neurodiverse kid. We talk about advocacy in and out of the classroom and how parents can work with their kids' neurodivergency, not against it. Find out more about Dr....

It's been a really hectic couple of weeks and it's starting to catch up with us.
