Podcasts about Hot Topic

In this Halloween edition of The Hot Topic, Jordan James and Simon Scott delve into why many autistic and ADHD individuals are drawn to horror — from jump scares and haunted houses to true crime and the works of Stephen King.They unpack the neuroscience and psychology behind the connection between fear, curiosity, and regulation, and why being safely scared can be surprisingly calming for neurodivergent minds. Drawing on personal stories and pop culture, Jordan and Simon discuss how horror offers a sense of control, catharsis, and community — and why dark stories can feel oddly comforting.Together, they explore:Why the autistic and ADHD brain may find “safe fear” regulatingThe dopamine and sensory connection behind horror fascinationHow pattern recognition and empathy draw neurodivergent people to dark storiesHorror as a mirror for survival, belonging, and identityWhy horror icons and underdogs often resonate with neurodivergent audiencesWith humour and honesty, this episode celebrates spooky season through a neurodivergent lens — proving that sometimes, what scares us most can also make us feel most alive.Our Sponsors:

This week, Shat The Movies kicks off our annual Spooktacular with a bloody, bong-ripped bang as we revisit 1999's Idle Hands — the stoner-horror-comedy hybrid where Devon Sawa's right hand goes full demonic and Seth Green proves that death can't stop a good hang. Commissioned by listener Christopher, this Halloween starter brings everything you'd expect from the late '90s: MTV aesthetics, a killer soundtrack, Jessica Alba's scooter, and enough weed jokes to make even Scary Movie blush. But does Idle Hands still hit, or is it just a high school fever dream of Doritos dust and Hot Topic energy? Gene and Big D dig into the film's Columbine-cursed box office fate and confess which '90s music videos helped shape their teenage “spooky season.” Along the way, we get a Fred Willard appreciation moment, a detour into Buffy fandom, and the single weirdest tangent about grasshoppers ever recorded on this podcast. Is Idle Hands an underrated Halloween gem that deserves a second life—or just proof that the devil really does find work for idle bros? Either way, the Spooktacular has begun. Movie Plot:A lazy stoner's hand gets possessed and goes on a killing spree, murdering his parents, friends, and half the Halloween dance. Now Anton, his undead buddies, and a demon-hunting priestess must stop the disembodied hand before it drags his girlfriend to Hell.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to a recent Independent article questioning the old idea of a “single autism spectrum” — and explain why autism isn't something you're on, but something you live within.They explore how the linear model of autism — from “mild” to “severe” — misrepresents reality, fuels stigma, and limits understanding. Drawing on conversations with Steve Silberman and the original intent behind Lorna Wing's “spectrum” concept, they unpack how language like “high/low functioning” and DSM “levels” continues to harm autistic people.Using the autism spectrum umbrella as a more accurate and inclusive metaphor, Jordan and Simon show how autistic experience exists in a vast, interconnected space — one where needs shift, context matters, and identity is shaped by environment and understanding.Together, they discuss:Why the “one line from mild→severe” model misses the reality of autistic diversityThe autism spectrum umbrella: a better way to understand fluctuating needs and contextHow labels like “high/low functioning” and fixed DSM levels are misused and inconsistently appliedLanguage matters: why many prefer autistic over “on the spectrum,” and why deficit framing harmsThe real-world impact of media narratives and “expert” takes — from stigma to lost opportunitiesDangers of ranking human value: how “usefulness” talk slides toward eugenic thinkingPersonal reflections on self-acceptance, parenting, and ensuring autistic kids never learn to hate themselvesThis episode is a call to move beyond outdated labels and start seeing autism for what it truly is: diverse, dynamic, and deeply human.Our Sponsors:

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott respond to the growing media push to divide the autism spectrum — including a recent New York Times article that introduced the term “profound autism.”They make it clear: the issue isn't with autistic people who have higher support needs — it's with the language, labels, and ableist frameworks used to define them. Jordan and Simon explore how separating the spectrum into categories like “high” and “low functioning” or “profound” and “mild” only deepens stigma, misunderstanding, and division within the autistic community.Together, they discuss:Why the “profound autism” label is harmful and reductiveThe New York Times article that reignited this debateHow language shapes perception, policy, and empathyThe autism spectrum is an umbrella that unites, not dividesWhy all autistic experiences — regardless of support needs — belong togetherThe need for compassion, inclusion, and respect across the entire spectrumThis episode calls out fear-based narratives and reframes the conversation around what truly matters: understanding, dignity, and unity for every autistic person — no matter where they sit under the spectrum umbrella.Our Sponsors:

[caption id="attachment_14468" align="alignleft" width="273"] Veronica Miller and a Portugese Podengo Medio.[/caption] Hot Topic: New Rules for FSS Breeds Host Laura Reeves is joined by Veronica Miller, Portugese Podengo Medio enthusiast, to discuss newly announced rules about FSS breeds. The August Board minutes launched a number of hot topics and discussions, including around limited registrations, but one of the hottest is taking place in the FSS community. The enthusiasts in this group are working with breeds progressing toward full AKC recognition. Many of these breeds are ancient and popular in other countries. “Since I came in initially,” Miller said, “we had to have 300 dogs registered. We met that. Then it was you had to have a minimum of 20 litters. We had hit that, but then they moved it to 20 liters within five years after moving to miscellaneous. We're about one litter away from meeting that and now it's 20 litters within three years. “And most of these changes have taken place since 2018. So, in a short number of years there have been a whole lot of changes. There has been no outreach to any of our breed clubs. We hear from AKC that they are a club of clubs, but changes are made for FSS and miscellaneous breeds without our input. And without any discussion or reasoning. “We want to make sure that we do have a healthy gene pool and good genetics within our breed. We also want to make sure that we have appropriate homes and forcing a set number of litters could potentially lead to people making poor decisions for the dogs. “And the other thing with this particular board decision that really, I think, pushed a lot of buttons is when things come before the board, it is brought before the board discussed and then they leave it until the next board meeting when it's been voted on, which allows for a feedback. And that did not happen. “A lot of this group is the under 40 crowd, which is not the usual. We have found breeds that we love and want to dedicate our lives to, and just because it's not the usual breed that's out there, it doesn't make them worth any less. We have the breeds that we have because they are special to us. And these folks are incredibly dedicated to these dogs. “We are really dedicated and want to do more with our dogs, which is the whole point here, but we're being held back in so many ways. And unfortunately, that's going to turn these folks away from AKC and they may go to other venues or they may just stay at home with their dogs. And then we're losing a huge segment of people that could really grow our sport.”

In this eye-opening episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott unpack the growing awareness of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) in relation to ADHD and autism—and why naming it can be life-changing.Drawing from their lived experiences, they explore the emotional rollercoaster of RSD, from spiralling thoughts after a delayed text message to sleepless nights replaying old conversations. With humour, honesty, and hard-won insight, Jordan and Simon highlight how mainstream recognition of RSD is slowly catching up to what the neurodivergent community has been saying for years.Together, they discuss:What Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria really feels like for ADHDers and autistic peopleWhy naming RSD creates distance, self-awareness, and practical coping strategiesHow therapy (and finding the right therapist) can help untangle emotional floodsThe importance of starting young—teaching kids resilience, boundaries, and emotional languageWhy harmful advice from mainstream parenting “experts” can traumatise neurodivergent childrenTools that actually help: clarity in communication, gentle feedback, and community validationWhether you're navigating RSD yourself, parenting neurodivergent kids, or trying to understand a loved one's inner world, this conversation blends science, lived experience, and humour to bring comfort, clarity, and hope.The article discussed in this episode❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

In this thought-provoking episode of Hot Topic, guest speaker Russell explores the dynamic tension between principle and pragmatism, especially within the context of Christian life and decision-making. Drawing on biblical references and real-life examples, Russell challenges listeners to distinguish between true biblical principles and traditions or opinions that may masquerade as such. The conversation covers practical issues like church leadership models, financial stewardship, and the ethical boundaries of truth-telling, all through a lens of scriptural faithfulness rather than mere common sense or cultural convention. Whether discussing the history of church growth or the nuances of honesty, this episode invites listeners to critically evaluate what it means to make decisions rooted in genuine biblical guidance.
