In this podcast episode I will read the first part of an interview I did with Jennifer Allen, the woman who coined the term, “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.”

You will hear about the details and inside stories about:

• her involvement in the first forum thread about ASMR,


• her creation of the term ASMR,


• her founding of the ASMR Facebook Group and ASMR Facebook Page,


• her creation of the research website,


• and her fight to keep the first Wikipedia page about ASMR.
