Weirds of a Feather: An AuDHD-Adjacent Podcast

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, getting silly with Pizza Secrets, and starting a brand-new Hobby Collectors hobby that we may not know much about just yet, but we can already tell we’re going to be amazing at it. And if we’re not, we’ll just quit.

Much like a bird in a mirror, this episode will have you feeling like you’re laughing and gabbing along with your two best friends, when in reality, you’re just laughing alone in the bathroom.

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, you’re in luck, because we’re all fired up and clip-tromping full steam ahead, and nothing short of a stronger faster horse train is gonna stop this horse train, so don’t even try. Also, Grace shares a spite-fueled Lil’ Accomplishment, Kristin doesn’t trust the mail, we bicker about socks despite sharing the same Sock Values, and more.

At some point we promise we’ll take the time to actually finish a series that we already started, but until that day comes we must insist that you enjoy yet another Part 1 of a shiny new series all about anxiety.

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 determination, of heroes, and of so much crying at the airport. Plus, we get uncut and unleashed as we talk backyard skiing, Peep-induced popularity, outside night games, Animal Capture, and more.

We ADHDers may fly through life by the seat of our soft pants, but we almost always pull it off in the end. Which is why, here at WOAF, we live and die by the infamous ADHDer’s creed: it doesn’t matter how the sausage gets made, just as long as you enjoy sucking it down your gullet.

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-earned wisdom uponst you.

Using the traditional umbrella mobile teaching model, Grace takes you on a ride down the nervous system 101 and explains what it is, how it works, and why you should care about it. Meanwhile, Kristin does her very best to derail the conversation with a bunch of her penis talk and lobster facts, making this a true Maine podcast (because of the lobsters, not the penis stuff, GROW UP).

Then, we’re all over the place as we chat Lil’ ‘Plishes, Best and Worst of the Week, White Lotus, the importance of protecting the dwindling brown bat population, and more.
