About this listen

Join ADH’D’er, Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE & husband, the BAFTA award winning comedy actor Paul Whitehouse (Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, The Fast Show, Death Of Stalin) as they explore neurodiversity with an eclectic mix of ADHDers, Autists, Dyslexics and specialists.


Given the recent ‘explosion’ in diagnoses, particularly in the world of comedy, Paul Whitehouse represents the archetypal sceptic. He’s there to challenge the very concept of ADHD. Dr Mine provides theoretical and research insights, counter arguments and her own lived experience, creating a conversational and highly accessible space to explore this much misunderstood topic.


Each episode they chat to a guest who shares their experience of being neurodivergent, whether from the point of view of being diagnosed themselves, curious about the workings of their own brain, or as as specialist in the field.


This multi award winning podcast has featured fellow ADHDer guests such as Sir Stephen Fry, Robbie Williams, Helen George, Armando Iannucci, Lee Mack, Shaparak Khorsandi, Shaun Ryder, Hannah Botterman, Goldie and many more.

  • Dom Joly: The Secret Sauce and a Possible Diagnosis

    Dom Joly: The Secret Sauce and a Possible Diagnosis
    May 7 2026

    Dom Joly has spent his career making the world laugh — but has he spent his whole life accidentally thriving on anxiety, chaos, and what he cheerfully calls his "secret sauce"?

    In this brilliantly funny and surprisingly moving episode, Dom opens up about growing up in war-torn Lebanon, his son's possible ADHD diagnosis, his complicated relationship with the word "normal," and why his wife has been telling him to see someone for years.

    He came on as a question mark, but which buzzer did he end up pressing?

  • Shaun Keaveny: I Should Be Pulling Turnips

    Shaun Keaveny: I Should Be Pulling Turnips
    Apr 30 2026

    Award-winning broadcaster and podcaster Shaun Keaveny joins the show for a brilliantly funny, deeply relatable conversation about late-diagnosed ADHD, radio, parenthood, and the art of appearing far more organised than you really are.


    Shaun reflects on discovering his own ADHD through his son's diagnosis, why life suddenly became "too many variables," and how years of masking accidentally turned him into an exceptionally charming broadcaster.


    As it turns out, talking for four minutes, playing a song, and receiving a tiny dopamine reward is basically the perfect ADHD job.

    Funny, thoughtful, and packed with radio gold, this is Shaun Keaveny at his very best.

  • Suzy Eddie Izzard: No Labels, No Limits

    Suzy Eddie Izzard: No Labels, No Limits
    Apr 23 2026

    In this episode, trailblazing comedian, actor, writer and endurance athlete Suzy Eddie Izzard joins the conversation. From choosing her own name as a child to embracing being gender fluid, Suzy speaks candidly about rejecting rigid labels and “dead names,” and why, for her, identity has never been fixed or simple. With humour and clarity, she explores the shifting language around gender and the importance of removing shame while acknowledging just how confusing that journey can be for others too.


    It’s a conversation about difference, resilience, and doing life your own way. From identity to endurance, Suzy shows what’s possible when you stop trying to fit the mould - and just keep going.

    Funny, honest, and full of energy, this is about building a life that actually fits you.
