ADHDville Podcast - Let's chat ADHD

Is it just us, or does a vacation sometimes feel like you need another vacation just to recover from it? In this week's episode of ADHDville, your Ex-Mayors, Martin and Paul, pull up a chair at the King's Agitated Head pub to tackle the ultimate neurodivergent dilemma: the Summer Vacation Paradox. For the ADHD brain, a break from routine sounds like a thrilling dopamine hit—new places, new foods, and all the novelty we crave. But for the Autistic side of our brain? It's a sensory nightmare of disrupted routines, strange pillows, and noisy buffet lines. It's the classic battle between wanting to explore the world and wanting to hide in the hotel room. We dive deep into why vacations can leave us feeling burned out instead of recharged. From the chaos of packing and airport anxiety to the pressure of "having fun," we unpack: * The hidden stress of planning trips with an AuDHD brain. * Why the novelty of a new place can sometimes be more exhausting than exciting. * The simple pleasures of a "cookie-cutter" vacation (and the comfort of knowing the food at the local Indian restaurant is good). * How to be honest with yourself (and your partner) about the kind of holiday you actually need. We also share our infamous "Two Truths and a Lie" quiz and read your incredible feedback from our last episode. Whether you're an ADHDer, AuDHD, or just someone who comes back from a beach holiday feeling like you've been through a war, this one's for you. Be fucking kind to yourself and join us for a chat.

The Mayors of ADHDville are back with their third round of everyone's favourite neurodivergent hate-fest! Martin and Paul are once again perched at the King's Agitated Head, ready to banish the world's most irritating things into the fiery depths of Room 101. And this time? They've got ChatGPT playing judge (because Paul Merton was simply too expensive). Will Martin achieve a clean sweep? Will Paul's culinary grievances stand up to ChatGPT's ruthless judgement? And what exactly IS the proper punishment for tailgaters in Italy? Pull up a pew, grab your favourite beverage, and join the mayors for another chaotic, laugh-filled trip through the wonderfully disorganised world of ADHDville. New episodes drop every Tuesday!

Back in the room! This week on ADHDville, your favorite ex-mayors, Martin and Paul, are getting philosophical about ADHD and aging. Why does the algorithm suddenly think we need Tai Chi for the over-50s? Why does driving at night feel like a sensory nightmare? And why do we have less energy to mask, but also less of a damn to give? Martin and Paul dig into the science (and the comedy) of getting older with a neurodivergent brain. We explore why "object permanence" starts affecting your friendships, why recovering from a single glass of wine takes three days, and how all those years of overthinking finally pay off. In this episode: * The physiological changes that make ADHD feel louder. * Shrinking your world to control the noise. * The ultimate burnout: Death (and parachutes). * Quiz Time: Paul's "Guilty Pleasures" vinyl collection is exposed! Hit play and join the conversation. We promise you're not alone in feeling like you've lived three lifetimes. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss next week's episode: ADHD and Public Transport! -------------------------------------- ADHDville, the podcast where hosts Paul and Martin bring 40 years of friendship to your ears.

Welcome back to ADHDville. Population: Us, and the 1,600 football pitches of fungus we apparently live on top of. This week, Ex-Mayors Martin and Paul finally answer the question you've all been asking: What do mushrooms have to do with ADHD? Spoiler: It's not just about pizza toppings. We dive deep (and by deep, we mean we read some articles and then immediately got distracted) into the weird and wonderful world of fungi. Martin drops some knowledge on the gut-brain connection and how inflammation in your biome might be messing with your dopamine. Meanwhile, Paul reveals that he spent his time in Italy stalking mushroom hunters and laughing at them. In this episode, we discuss: - ADHD and the Gut: Is your second brain sabotaging your first one? - The Humongous Fungus: The 2,400-year-old network in Oregon that thinks like an ADHD brain. - Zombie Ants: The fungus that takes over ant brains (and why it's strangely fascinating). - Neurospicy Connections: Why we click with strangers so fast (and why it's not always romantic). - Microdosing Research: The Ivy League is studying this—but does it actually help us focus? (Spoiler: It's complicated). PLUS: Was Paul's on the back page of The Sun with Telly Savalas? We need to talk about it. If you've ever been told you think like a mycelium network, or you just really like mushrooms on your steak, this is the episode for you. 🔗 Subscribe so you don't miss next week—we're tackling ADHD and Love for Valentine's Day.
