God Forbid

Thank you once again for a fantastic podcast.

Gotta love the Quiz. James Carleton is amazing.

I’ve consistently listened to this podcast every weekend for years - and I’ve been non-religious my whole life. It’s at its best when the guests are from diverse religious backgrounds and when the topic isn’t obviously religious: it is so interesting to hear how people consider different things to be spiritual and how they approach them in their own ways, according to their religious upbringing. So many similarities but so many differences as well!

Congratulations on curating such a wonderful collection of people to share their stories of neurodiversity. Kudos to James Carleton for the wisdom to skilfully weave the eclectic speakers stories together with an understated restraint, so that their voices remained centre and James’s comments were elegant in their minimalism. As someone with ADHD I very much appreciated this episode, and could closely identify with much of what was said. The selection of speakers, the structure of the episode, the compassion & curiosity evident in Jame’s questions and comments, the editing process; all these have delivered without doubt the absolutely best podcast episode I have listened to on neurodiversity. Thank you to everyone at the ABC involved in making this episode, I will be sharing it with friends and family as it illuminates the topic of neurodiversity with authentic humanity, like the warm golden light of a sunrise, in contrast to the harsh cold fluorescent light of a dehumanising laboratory. Congratulations on creating such good journalism.
