Shaun Keaveny: I Should Be Pulling Turnips

About this episode

Shaun Keaveny discusses his late-diagnosed ADHD and the challenges of parenthood and broadcasting.

Award-winning broadcaster and podcaster Shaun Keaveny joins the show for a brilliantly funny, deeply relatable conversation about late-diagnosed ADHD, radio, parenthood, and the art of appearing far more organised than you really are.  Shaun reflects on discovering his own ADHD through his son's diagnosis, why life suddenly became "too many variables," and how years of masking accidentally turned him into an exceptionally charming broadcaster.  As it turns out, talking for four minutes, playing a song, and receiving a tiny dopamine reward is basically the perfect ADHD job. Funny, thoughtful, and packed with radio gold, this is Shaun Keaveny at his very best. Want to see us live?!
