  • With season 2 right around the corner, we thought we'd drop a bonus episode to keep you going!


    A few weeks back, we recorded a special episode LIVE at The Podcast Show with our friends from TYX. We invited Sunil Patel from the award-winning Whisper to talk all things late-diagnosis ADHD, running a business when you're neurodivergent, and pushing the boundaries of television. Sunil was amazing, and so is this episode!


    Season 2 is coming soon, watch this space! Literally...
