Customer Reviews
Great content but…
I’ve learned some incredible, invaluable info about ADHD from these podcasts, after being diagnosed in July this year.
BUT. I have 2 ideas that could make it more user friendly to its neurospicy audience.
1. Cut the webinar intros/housekeeping from the podcast version of the content. Sometimes it goes 5-10 mins of irrelevant stuff before the presentation even starts. Not ADHD accessible.
2. Consider splitting the single podcast into two based on audience groups. ADD For parents and ADD for adults with ADHD. The parenting content means nothing to me, and it’s frustrating to be forced to manually scroll through dozens of irrelevant episodes every time I want to listen, rather than just let it play though.
Content relevant to both audiences could be published on both podcasts.
I think these two structural changes could really improve accessibility!
Essential listening
The ADDitude Magazine webinar series is essential listening for people with, or people caring for others with ADHD.
Who is this podcast really for?! The irony of a podcast about ADHD that goes for an hour long!
I tried to email this podcast to give them feedback but the email bounced so don’t bother trying to email them.
I’ll make my feedback public I stead:
As a person with ADHD I find the shows are way too long to listen to. Shorter shows would really be helpful for people with ADHD given we have a short attention span. Sure we can hyper focus but generally not on something we look at and think f that
Is this show really about helping those with ADHD? Just remember that it seems many shows are trying to target parents, but as we know many adults are being diagnosed with ADHD after their children were diagnosed. Having all the knowledge doesn’t make people smart if they can’t share that knowledge.
