This wek, we’re joined by the wonderfully insightful Dr Nighat Arif for a wide-ranging conversation about women’s health, ADHD, perimenopause, medical misinformation and the realities of navigating the NHS. We cover brain fog and hormone shifts to the dangers of TikTok health myths and the importance of being believed by your doctor.

We also dig into the overlap between ADHD, dyslexia and hormonal change, why women’s symptoms are so often missed or misread, and how to advocate for yourself in a 10-minute GP appointment. Along the way, there are laughs, honest reflections and plenty of myth-busting from one of the UK’s most trusted medical voices.

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?

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.

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.

Joe Tracini is an award-winning comedian, Sunday Times bestselling author, and one of the most honest voices in the conversation around mental health. But this isn't a tidy recovery story. Joe sits down with Mine and Paul to talk about growing up as a child performer while his mum had a breakdown and his dad was absent. The years that followed saw Joe’s relationship with drugs and alcohol take over. 14 years of sobriety and soul searching later led him to a BPD diagnosis that finally gave him something to address, and an ADHD diagnosis that only came in 2025.

It's raw, it's funny, it's one of the most remarkable conversations the podcast has ever had.

In a searingly honest conversation with Mine and Paul, Gary Numan reflects on a childhood of expulsions, canings and the creeping realisation that he wasn't unlikeable, he was just wired differently. He talks about fatherhood, emotional dysregulation and his neurodivergent household.

Oh, and David Bowie had him thrown out of a room once.
