It’s just amazing, what else do you want?
Lots of “Ah-ha” Moments in Fantastic Conversations and Interviews
16/06/2021
Every week or so, Manoush revisits a theme through conversations with various speakers from different TED talks. I love how Manoush interviews them, never shying away from toufh questions but always personable and making us at ease, while uncovering fantastic ideas and revelations. Great balance between conversational interviews, commentary and extracts from TED talks.
Lost its magic

I feel like this podcast alienated some of its listeners. It used to be a place where I felt I could come to learn something new and interesting about technology, entertainment & design but instead now it feels agenda driven. I feel like TED don’t even know what they stand for anymore.
We’re not all a little autistic
22 Apr
As a low support needs autistic person, I am exhausted of hearing that “everyone is a little autistic.” They aren’t. You’re either autistic or you’re not, and if you are, you fall somewhere on the spectrum. So having a whole episode about “awkward” people that takes pains to point out that these people are nearly autistic except not is reinforcing this misconception. Add to that, having the episode point out how many amazing things these “nearly autistic” awkward people can do while making clear they aren’t autistic just reinforces that you don’t think autistic people are capable of the same. And guess what? A lot of us are. And a lot of the awkward people you are talking about are also probably auctually autistic. Do better.
