Description

We all get a bit distracted don't we? Well, maybe some more than others, particularly if you've got that thing called ADHD. Seems like a lot of people have got that thing called ADHD nowadays. But what even is it?


Hosted by friends Jack and Kat, who discovered they had ADHD in their late twenties. Every episode delves into a new topic. The following week we will feature and interview someone that actually knows what they're talking about, in-fact, they'll be leading experts in their field.


So join us, as we learn more about what makes us so distracted.
