Neurodivergent Moments
Hosted by Joe Wells and Abigoliah Schamaun · EN
Ever walk into a room and immediately forget why you’re there? Or get confused when someone is surprised you’ve taken what they said literally?
Comedians, Abigoliah Schamaun and Joe Wells do, and so do their guests, and these Neurodivergent Moments shine a light into the world of our diverse minds. Each episode, ADHD Abigoliah and Autistic Joe, speak to a guest with a neurodivergence about their divergence, life, career and how they navigate the neurotypical society we live in.
Lighthearted, sincere and insightful, Neurodivegent Moments is a journey into the diverse world of our differently wired brains and the people who own them. ADHD, Autism, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Borderline Personality Disorder and more are all topics of conversation.
The Neurodivergent Moments Podcast has been featured at Latitude Festival and in Readers Digest and makes its debut at The London Podcast Festival on 14 September 2023.
