The Autistic Rant Hour

Autistic Culture Podcast Network

The Autistic Rant Hour is an unapologetically Autistic podcast exploring the frustrations, contradictions, injustices, and everyday absurdities of living in an allistic world. Hosted by Aut2Aut founder Dr Gal Schkolnik (they/them), each episode creates space for autistic people to rant, infodump, analyse, and unpack the systems, behaviours, and social expectations that make life harder for neurodivergent people. From accessibility failures and social double standards to burnout, masking, healthcare, relationships, and autistic joy, no topic is off limits. Blending humour, lived experience, sharp critique, and deep autistic honesty, The Autistic Rant Hour is both catharsis and conversation — a space where autistic voices are allowed to be loud, angry, thoughtful, passionate, and completely authentic. Produced for the Autistic Culture Podcast Network. 🎧 The Autistic Rant Hour is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms. 🌈 Celebrate autistic voices with early access, ad-free listening, and our full archive at AutisticCulturePlus.com 🌐 Visit www.autisticculturepodcastnetwork.com 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @autisticculturepodcast You can support Aut2Aut on Betterplace and Gofundme, or buy our #ActuallyAutistic designs in our print-on-demand shop.

    Product Analytics and Being Autistic in Tech

    You know how they tell you that websites and apps follow your every move and then design their product to get the most out of you?   And you know how each and every time a digital product gets updated it gets worse and harder to use? How can both of these be true?   Well, let me get you in on a Product Analytics secret: It’s true that most websites and apps collect your data, but most of them just let it rot in dashboards nobody looks at, and release major features and redesigns without performing any mathematically rigorous analysis of the users’ response. This is only one of many reasons why it’s so hard to be autistic in Tech. My Product Analytics ex-colleague, Carolina (pronouns: she/they), will join me on this episode to rant with all our accumulated frustrations about the sad sad fact that most digital product providers really don’t care about your data, and also just in general about being autistic in Tech. You can find Carolina on Instagram @millenialspinster  Language note: The words Shit and B******t are being said a few times in the episode.  You can support Aut2Aut on Betterplace and Gofundme, or buy our #ActuallyAutistic designs in our print-on-demand shop.
