Who am I?
I'm Sarah, host of The Adulting With ADHD podcast. I talk to experts and patients about how ADHD relates to hormones, trauma, food/eating, and more. It was a slap in the face getting diagnosed with ADHD in my mid-30s. It was a sucker punch to learn how hormones relate to ADHD at nearly 40. I'm an ex-journalist who knows how to work Audacity. It just made sense.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
The Adulting With ADHD Podcast aims to unpack all the things that weren't covered in that glossy brochure from the doctor's office ... there's a lot of nuance that can't fit on a trifold! This playlist is what I listen to when my brain needs something shiny to chew on.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Anything based on true life is immediately interesting to me, as are shows steeped in pop culture and social commentary. I like to keep up with things, but my brain gets tired! These shows never feel like work.

3. ICYMI
Why this podcast?
As a Xennial, I'm young enough to know how to access a podcast (and make one!), but old enough to still need a wiki for some things. Like when The Try Guys dropped Ned. This one isn't in the regular rotation, but it's my first stop for Internet culture breaking news.

Play first episode
A podcast about the modern-day “cults” we all follow. Each episode asks the culty questions we’re all wondering... Do you think SoulCycle is a cult? What about Elon Musk stans? Or the Royal Family? What about spiritual influencers? Is Instagram itself a cult? Sounds Like A Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, analyzes a different zeitgeisty group every week to try and answer the big question: This group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?
