Podcasts about Hot Topic

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to a recent article claiming dogs can be “autistic” — and unpack why this framing misunderstands both animals and neurodivergence. They discuss how natural behaviours in animals get mislabelled as “autistic traits,” why deficit-based language harms autistic people, and how ableist assumptions shape research across species.Together, they explore:How research bias leads to fear-based language like “risk” and “behavioural problems”Why neurodivergence is a natural evolutionary advantage, not a deficitThe danger of reinforcing stereotypes (e.g., “cats are autistic,” “hyper dogs are ADHD”)Why splitting neurodivergence into strict labels misses the bigger pictureHow science goes wrong when it assumes autism is a negative traitThe importance of autistic-led insight in neurodivergent researchThis is a funny, fiery, and thought-provoking take on what happens when good intentions collide with bad science — and why autistic voices must guide any conversation about neurodivergence, no matter the species.Our Sponsors:

Post Nut Clarity: “It's that moment right after orgasm where suddenly you're like: ‘Why did I text him?' ‘Why am I here?' ‘Do I even like this person?'” The hosts share personal stories on when they experienced PNC... Some people feel zen. Others feel guilt. Others feel absolutely nothing. Casual hookup vs partner you're connected to - does it make a difference with PNC? When there's connection, communication, safety — the ‘clarity' isn't a crash. It's more of a grounded moment. When sex is not just release but connection, breath, energy… does the ‘post-nut' crash even happen? How queer men specifically can benefit from slowing down / intention-setting. So how can people shift their sexual experience to avoid that crashy, regretful, disconnected feeling?

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott respond to shocking recent comments from Reform UK's deputy leader, Richard Tice — whose claims about “overdiagnosis,” ear defenders, and SEND support reveal just how dangerously out of touch his party is with neurodivergent realities. They break down Tice's statements about “too many labels,” “overdiagnosed children,” and the idea that SEND support should be pushed back onto already-burnt-out schools. Jordan and Simon explore why this rhetoric isn't just ignorant — it's harmful, ableist, and deeply rooted in a political movement that treats disabled children as a financial burden rather than human beings.Across the episode, they dive into:Why claims of “overdiagnosis” are factually wrong — and why autism and ADHD remain massively underdiagnosedThe danger of framing neurodivergent support as “optional” or “too expensive”How right-wing parties in the UK and US mirror each other in attacking disabled communitiesWhy ear defenders, sensory tools, and accommodations matter — and what it means when politicians publicly mock themThe long history of autistic people driving innovation, science, technology, art, and cultureHow austerity politics weaponise public ignorance about neurodivergenceWhy dismissing assessments, EHCPs, and support plans harms every child, not just SEND studentsWhat happens when politicians shape policy around stigma instead of science and lived experienceThis is a fiery, unapologetic episode about the real political threat facing autistic and ADHD people — and why our community cannot stay silent when elected officials target disabled children to score votes.Our Sponsors:

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott break down a new research article showing how major autism charities portray autistic people as helpless, burdensome, and in constant need of “saving.”Jordan and Simon explore why so many large charities rely on harmful tropes (puzzle pieces, sad children, deficit language) to generate donations, while autistic-led organisations struggle for support despite doing meaningful work. They discuss tokenism, the “non-disabled saviour” complex, and why proper representation — especially leadership by autistic people — is essential.Together, they discuss:How major charities use stigma and pity to raise moneyWhy are autistic people often shown as “helpless children” instead of adultsThe problem with puzzle pieces and deficit-based imageryTokenism and non-autistic leadership in autism organisationsHow charities profit from pity and maintain their monopolyWhy many autistic-led charities struggle — despite doing better workHow misrepresentation harms autistic adults seeking dignity and supportWhy nothing should be “about us without us”The article:https://theconversation.com/autism-charities-can-portray-autistic-people-as-helpless-and-a-burden-our-research-shows-why-it-matters-267385Jordan also shares stories about being approached by big charities, navigating the ethics of working with organisations, and how he nearly got pulled into a profit-driven model disguised as “non-profit.” They close by highlighting autistic-led charities worth supporting, including Autism Southeast, and why grassroots organisations are essential for real change.This episode is blunt, necessary, and gives a voice to autistic adults tired of being framed as problems to be fixed. If you're frustrated with how autism is portrayed, this is one you won't want to miss.Our Sponsors:

"Forever Shining" In 1976 brothers Tony and Chip Kinman founded the legendary Carlsbad punk band The Dills, who in just four short years crammed their music CV with highlights. Before they disbanded in 1980, The Dils had recorded classics like "Class War" and Mr. Big" opened for the Clash and appeared in Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke. The Kinmans went on to form Rank and File, who are considered by many to be one of the first cowpunk bands around. Rank and FIle's rootsy stomp and melodic muscle powered them through three perfect albums--Sundown, Long Gone Dead and their self-titled 19897 swansong. The Kinmans had an uncanny ability to read the cultural room before anyone else--they were hardcore before it hit the suburbs and they were cowpunk before it was cool and with their next band Blackbird, they were techno metal before Korn and Linkin Park shirts at Hot Topic. The Kinmans went on to play in bands like Cowboy Nation and Ford Madox Ford and sadly, Tony Kinman died in 2018. Which brings us to KInman's self-titled Kinman's new album. A stirring song cycle filled with acoustic numbers, Tex-Mex techno, the undulating rhythms and "Me And Tony" a streetwise tribute to a life in music with his brother, Kinman's new record sounds like nobody else. It's filled with unexpected sonic flourishes, heartfelt emotional ruminations, great storytelling and devastating beauty. It's bold and brilliant work. https://intheredrecords.com/collections/chip-kinman/products/chip-kinman-s-t-lp www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast EMAIL: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott pull apart the latest headline claiming that “COVID during pregnancy causes autism.”With sarcasm, dark humour and actual science, they look at why every week the media invents a new “cause” — Tylenol, vaccines, circumcision, video games, rain — and how these stories spread without logic, peer review or any understanding of genetics.Jordan and Simon explain why this reporting is dangerous: it fuels stigma, panic and political agendas, while ignoring the real science behind autistic brains — including genetics and reduced synaptic pruning. Instead of treating autism as part of human diversity, the media keeps framing it as a threat, tragedy or contagious condition.They discuss:The latest claim: “COVID during pregnancy causes autism”Why correlation is not causation (no matter how many headlines say it is)Politicians weaponising autism for attention and votesThe Tylenol lawsuit and RFK's shifting conspiraciesHow media language treats autism like a disease or warning labelWhy autism isn't “caught” — it's genetic and always has beenWhy support and accessibility matter more than fearmongeringThis episode is a sharp, honest takedown of pseudoscience and scare tactics. If you're tired of autism being used as clickbait, you'll want to hear this one.Our Sponsors:

Have you ever taken on a 10km run, or a half marathon - maybe pushed yourself just a little too much, without properly researching what you should be eating, to fuel your efforts? Many have. And it’s no wonder endurance activities are an increasingly popular coping mechanism for those of us struggling to deal with the mental load of everyday life. But experts across the globe say they have been seeing athletes - and regular people - who have been under-eating and suffering from a little-known syndrome called REDs, or relative energy deficiency in sport. Today, Good Weekend senior writer Katrina Strickland, on this contentious syndrome, which some experts say can be allied to eating disorders, and has led some sufferers to have “bones like dust” and - in one case - a woman in her late 20s to have, as her gynaecologist put it, the “uterus of a 60 year old”.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss two shocking news stories exposing how autistic workers are being used as unpaid labour — ‘volunteering' in supermarkets and retail stores for months or even years, only to be dismissed the moment they ask to be paid.They break down how companies hide exploitation behind charity language and “work experience,” and how vulnerable adults are pressured to feel grateful for opportunities that would be paid roles for anyone else. Jordan and Simon talk about gaslighting, legal rights, and why disabled people are repeatedly told they should expect less — or nothing at all — from employers.Together, they explore:Why Autistic workers are vulnerable to workplace exploitationThe public's belief that disabled people should “just be grateful” to be thereGaslighting, low expectations, and the damage of being told you'll “never achieve anything”How parents and carers are often manipulated into accepting unpaid labour for their Autistic loved onesThe legal reality: taking advantage of a vulnerable person is a crimeWhy these stories matter and how many more are likely happening unseenThis episode is angry, honest, and necessary — shining a light on a system where disabled workers are treated as props, not people. If you work, you deserve to be paid. And if this is happening to you or someone you love, you're not alone — and it needs to be exposed.Our Sponsors:

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:

Jac and Keltie have officially lived out every Hot Topic teen's fantasy, they went to the When We Were Young festival and saw their entire emo adolescence come alive on stage. From eyeliner nostalgia to screaming along with their old crushes in studded belts, it's pure scene-kid serotonin.

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:
