Are you autistic and/or ADHD? Are you neither, but you think people are their best when they talk about things they love? Join Brianne (AuDHD) and Violet (ADHD) for some well curated infodumps.

They also invite autistic and ADHD guest buds to dump about their special interests, hyperfixations, and that thing they read about for an hour instead of checking their work email like they were supposed to. New Episodes on the 10th and 25th of each month.

Nov 10, 2025Brianne takes a solo dump!
Did you know that the term "executive function" actually includes 12 separate skills? Did you know that not everyone is good enough at all of these to manage everything on their own, and that's a capitalist lie you're being sold?
In this episode, Brianne discusses the 12 skills that make up the concept of "executive function," and discusses ways you can either improve your ability in these areas, or accommodate for yourself on things that disability means you simply can't improve.

Brianne takes a dump! (inspired by an actual dump)
Listen to the harrowing story of a woman who forgot her phone, and was resigned to reading bottles in the bathroom, like it's 1998. Brianne is sent down a rabbit hole, trying to figure out wtf is up with the labels on Dr. Bronner's products. She finds an unexpectedly touching story about neurodivergence, family, and attempting to do the most good, while being forced to live under capitalism.

Guest Dump! with Sean Turner
Sometimes terrible people make great art. Sean takes us back to France in the 1800's, where the world's most successful incel, Hector Berlioz, writes one of the most groundbreaking symphonies of the Romantic Era. It's like a proto-concept album- written by a guy who won't stop harassing you on Hinge.
