Tourette's Podcast - S7 - Episode 6 - You Can't Overdose on Music

Getting it done in a rural area with little to no support for Tourette Syndrome is just one of the vitals we hit with our guest this week, Amelie, a 15-year-old who lives in a small village in Ireland and depends on herself to not only live with her TS but educate peers as well -- something she's done a solid job with. Great takes from a seriously thoughtful teenage ambassador here.

Plus: A difficult self-observation project. And a listener tries to keep it together despite real frustrations judgmental people.

BSP-263: Do as the Algo Demands, Cringe is Good, Stop Spending Money

On episode 263 of the BSP, I discuss the validity of content creators altering their content and format based on the perceived change of the YouTube algorithm, why I think cringe videos are great, and a necessary shift in spending habits.

Tourette's Podcast - S7 - Episode 5 - Ticbait (With Comedian Dan Zerin)

Dan Zerin is here! The Iceland-based comedian and podcast host welcomes room for lighter-side talk about Tourette et al. He in fact was part of an award-winning comedy stage show about Tourette Syndrome, "My Voices Have Tourettes," which ran weekly to sold out rooms -- for years. Since the pandemic hit, it's been a podcast you'll want to bookmark if you haven't already. Somewhat in the spirit of Kurt Vonnegut's compassion-through-levity, this episode hits the real stuff and gets silly.

First, though, responses to Episode 4, about the "TikTok Tourette" thing happening. It becomes a great discussion.

On episode 261 of the BSP, I answer questions about what mic does pod save America use, if you can get zero latency monitoring from a USB mic, what mics give you the condenser sound with dynamic mic rejection, suggested vocal mics under $500, an affordable alternative to Izotope RX8, and if cheap pop filters can outperform expensive pop filters.

Tourette's Podcast - S7 - E3 - Three Days Ago

What better way to celebrate Tourette Awareness Month (May 15-June 15) than to open up about having the disorder? For the first time, ever, we mean (to whom it applies).

Just a few days before this episode's conversation took place, our guest, 26-year-old Jhonelle, spoke up for the first time publicly about her life with Tourette Syndrome. To classmates, everyone.

Which came with self-questioning. Would people treat her differently? Would they doubt her? Take her seriously?

Plus: A few science facts that Touretters should know.

S7 - Episode 2 - Real Life That You Don't Know

This is a milestone of sorts; we're talking with the first guest Tourette's Podcast ever had -- Maddie -- to hear how life has been since she opened it up to the world on Season 1, Episode 1. This is one of those roaming, casual-paced conversations that covers so much -- from self-evaluation to relationships to Elon Musk and cyborgs to transition points to openness with one's employer and so much more. Lots of laughing. 

Hope you enjoyed the Tourette Association of America's virtual conference last weekend. We catch up on it in the episode's intro.

Doom 3: How to make a solid game bad

Usually people try and make the best they can do. At least we all hope people try to strive for greatness. Not a lot of people try to make bad things, not a lot of developers try to make bad games. But bad games happen. And sometimes bad games happen with some of the absolute best and most known and loved franchises. And Doom 3 was one of those games.

How did this happen? How is it even legal? Who are we going to blame for that? All of those questions are not going to be answered in this episode, but we're going to dig through some of the most troublesome problems Doom 3 has.

And yes, we are going to mention shotgun. Hop in.

Tourette's Podcast - It's here! SEASON 7! Episodes 0 and 1

Popping with Tourette Awareness Month (May 15-June 15), here's your entry to lucky number Season 7 of Tourette's Podcast with, as always, a twofer.

Episode 0 of Season 7, "Launch," captures a super solid conversation between podcast host Ben and two giants in the Tourette advocacy world -- TV presenter and wine/spirits expert Aidy Smith; and advocate, author and YouTuber Britney Wolf. This conversation, recorded live with a big online audience, kicked off the Tourette Association of America's 2021 virtual conference (May 14-16). Funny, sharp, serious, emotional -- we hit all the strings when it comes to life with Tourette and take some great audience questions.

Tourette Association of America 2021 Virtual Conference

Episode 1 of Season 7, "Whispering For Too Long," is one of the best conversations Tourette's Podcast has ever recorded. Our guest is Gogo. She's lived with TS her entire life, but didn't know it as such until much later in adulthood -- and that's a big factor for her. When she finally got the diagnosis, it was like the world turned different colors. One thing to know about Gogo -- she speaks her mind. With that, you get some of the funniest takes ever; but there's a lot of raw stuff here, too (with uncensored language, if you need such notice). Seriously, it doesn't get any more honest than this.
