Episode 11: Hash Brownie Baby Cakes
January 13, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBIt’s cold as the dickens out there, but we can’t stay inside forever, can we? We probably shouldn’t, which is why this Hobby Collectors we’re chatting about skiing, one of our shared childhood hobbies and favorite dopamine sources, as well as some equally fun alternative winter hobbies if you aren’t Daddy Warbucks. Before that, Kristin uses D.A.R.E-level scare tactics to keep an impressionable youth away from the Devil’s lettuce and Grace shares her secrets on how to achieve the crawl b...

Ep. 10: Legends of the Hidden Butlers
January 06, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 85.5 MBLook which two ADHD-addled 90’s babes made it to Episode 10! We’re celebrating with a little TLC, some Nickelodeon GaS classics, and explaining outdated references for way too long even though literally nobody asked for it. Our ADHD topic is magical thinking, a concept that may sound fun in theory, but in reality, may force you to confront your own behaviors and self-deceptions. But in a fun way! Then we get into those segments and share a couple of listener emails, including a stomach-...
Ep. 9: Meat Candling Into the New Year
December 30, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 108 MB2021 may have been a piss-drenched garbage fire in many ways, but on the flipside we did start this podcast and that’s something to celebrate, right? This episode we’re doing a year in review as we look back on where we started all those months ago, then look to the future with some ADHD-friendly tips on how to set a few tiny, realistic resolutions for 2022 that won’t leave you hating yourself a week into the new year. After we get all that pesky reading over with, we chortle our way th...
Episode 8: Chef Santa & the Hedgehog Terrarium That Never Was
December 16, 2021 17:43 - 57 minutes - 79 MBIn a glorious display of that consistent inconsistency ADHDers are so famous for, we're getting this episode out slightly later than usual, but it's still technically Thursday so we're counting it as a win. Last Minute Grace never fails, except for when she does. In Episode 8 we chat about emotional dysregulation in ADHD and some tips to work on it, share our ghosts of hobbies that never were, and of course, serenade you with Synchronized Night Boat's newest holiday hit: Chef Santa.

Ep. 7: Secret Carrot
December 09, 2021 10:00 - 52 minutes - 71.6 MBHere at WOAF we’re intimately familiar with the annual (interpretive) dance of ADHDers buying gifts for the holidays: we think about starting, tell ourselves we have plenty of time, then suddenly it’s somehow two days before Christmas and we’re frantically looking up mall closing times in a panic. “Next year I’ll definitely get on top of things and start super early, no way I’m making this mistake again,” we tell ourselves with a level of delusional optimism only ADHDers can achieve--we’re s...
Ep. 6: Clam Jail
December 02, 2021 10:00 - 55 minutes - 75.7 MBNo need to riot, we’re back from our mini-break and gigglier than ever with our usual long-ass episode. This week we’re talking homemade holiday mom vests, Dungeons & Dragons at one point for some reason, and we read our first-ever I’m So Quirky listener write-in! Is there anything more bizarrely comforting than learning another ADHDer has the same extremely specific quirks as you? In Hobby Collectors Kristin puts on her (unofficial) sommelier bonnet and takes us on a grape-stomping jou...
Ep. 5: After-Dinner Seggs
November 26, 2021 10:00 - 23 minutes - 31.9 MBThis week we’re giving ourselves a little break (which is a lil’ accomplishment in itself) and bringing you a shorter episode with strictly segments. We start off with I’m So Quirky: Family Edition and share a couple of our family’s little quirks (after all, ADHD is highly genetic), then we trade some of our favorite racism interrupters and strategies for how to respond to cult members during this season of forced family gatherings. Wouldn’t it have been helpful if we had gotten this to...
Ep. 4: Tuesdays with Ianpal
November 18, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 90.4 MBThe WOAF women are hitting a lil’ milestone-we’re welcoming our first guest into the pod loft! And by pod loft we mean three felt curtains in Grace’s basement. Grace’s husband and Kristin’s pal Ian, aka Tall Rudd, sits down with us and shares his personal ADHD story, provides some helpful tips on getting into Fly Fishing in Hobby Collectors, and adds some wonderful baritone to our segment songs. Whether your ADHD type is ‘drawing in the dirt with a stick during a softball game’, ‘jamm...
Ep. 3: Rat Queens
November 11, 2021 10:00 - 46 minutes - 64 MBYour favorite rat queens are back! This week we’re starting off with a few facts about how racism impacts getting an ADHD diagnosis, followed by some ~*quirky*~ segments to balance it out a bit. Grace makes embroidery cool again and teaches you how to get started with cross stitch and needlepoint in Hobby Collectors, all while showing off her special talent of working rat kings into any conversation. In Alternative Segments Kristin shares her ADHD-friendly tips and tricks for living off...

Some call it a personality flaw, we call it a skill. In Episode 1 we’re diving into who we are, what the podcast is about, and our personal ADHD journeys, followed by our first ...
