It’s Christmas Day and Nic and Kate are taking a festive detour: re-imagining A Christmas Carol through a neurodivergent lens.

Inspired by a brilliant story written by Nic’s child when they were 10, this episode explores the ghosts of Autistic Past, Present, and Future: from Victorian institutions and ABA therapy to today’s endless diagnosis debates and the worrying rise of “neurodiversity-lite.”

Nic and Kate talk about what a truly autistic-friendly future could look like, why advocacy feels like it’s at a crossroads, and how hope still sits underneath all the frustration.

Perfect listening if you’re hiding in the bathroom for a sensory break, escaping the dinner table, or just fancy spending Christmas with two familiar voices.

Merry Christmas!

Only 3 in 10 autistic people are said to be in work, but that statistic hides a much bigger story.

In this episode, Nic and Kate talk about how “voluntary experience” can sometimes slide into unpaid labour, why big corporations need to stop treating autistic workers like charity projects, and how employment systems often reward masking over merit.

Expect honesty, humour, and a few choice words for capitalism along the way.

Do autistic people just notice more… or is there something genuinely spooky going on?

In this Halloween-timed episode, Nic and Kate pick apart the myths and reality around “psychic” autistic people; from Trump’s Tylenol claims and paracetamol panic to pattern-spotting, vibes, Hitler’s chair, and the infamous Telepathy Tapes.

They share their own uncanny experiences, how hyper-awareness can look like mind-reading, and why even sceptics sometimes find themselves spooked.
