Podcasts about RSD

If rejection (or even perceived rejection) feels physically painful, overwhelming, or impossible to shake, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) a widely recognized experience (though not a formal diagnosis) that's especially common in people with ADHD, and anyone who struggles with intense emotional reactions to rejection, criticism, or disapproval. This episode covers: What RSD actually feels like and why it can feel physically painful The difference between real rejection and perceived rejection Common triggers (and why perception matters more than reality) What's happening in the brain during an RSD spiral Signs you may be experiencing RSD Why people-pleasing, avoidance, overachievement, and rumination don't actually help How RSD differs from “normal” emotional sensitivity The link between RSD, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation This episode isn't about “toughening up” or stopping emotions from happening. It's about learning how to move through rejection without losing yourself to it and rebuilding a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. If you've ever thought, “I know this is irrational, but it feels unbearable,” this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next.

We are not built to consume that amount of information.""This isn't an unprecedented time. Conflict and fuckery and dictators have been a part of human history since the beginning of time.""Just because it's a trusted person doesn't necessarily mean that it's true.

The Day My Nervous System Chose Violence (Internally) Patricia Young (she/her) explores what happens when big feelings meet medication changes, OCD spirals, and unmet needs. Through a vulnerable personal story about adjusting OCD medication, asking for support, and reacting more intensely than expected, Patricia reflects on autism, relational OCD, RSD, and trauma responses. She also discusses how to hold grief and joy at the same time, how to create meaning when life is profoundly unfair, and why it's okay to share joy without making yourself smaller. This episode is a compassionate reminder that awareness, baseline tracking, and self-permission are key tools for sensitive and neurodivergent people navigating relationships, mental health, and change. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Big reactions aren't character flaws — they're often signals, especially for autistic and OCD brains · Medication changes can remove protective buffers, even when life circumstances are stable · Asking for what you want can activate PDA, RSD, and old relational wounds · OCD often pulls in "evidence" and tallying to justify emotional pain · Feeling justified doesn't mean the story is accurate — it means the feelings are loud · You can manage your behavior externally while still experiencing internal emotional chaos · Walking, movement, and problem-solving can help — but they don't erase vulnerability · A "hard day" doesn't mean failure — it means data · Knowing your emotional baseline is critical when adjusting meds · It's okay to decide that you don't want more days like that · You don't have to accept injustice to learn how to live alongside it · Two truths can exist at the same time: devastation and joy · Therapy and coaching work best when clients feel safe giving feedback · Neurodivergent-affirming practitioners change the entire therapeutic experience · You don't have to make yourself small to protect others from discomfort SOUND BITES   · "It wasn't about the coffee — it was about how big everything felt in my body." · "The bigger my feelings got, the more justification my brain wanted." · "This hasn't been my baseline — and that matters." · "I don't think this is something you ever 'accept,' but you can still create meaning." · "I don't want to live a life where I write people off when I'm overwhelmed."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. CHAPTERS (PLEASE ALLOW FOR ADDITION OF INTRO) 00:00 Navigating Big Feelings and Reactions 21:13 Creating Meaning Amidst Unfairness 34:21 Embracing Joy and New Experiences PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

If you have ADHD and your emotions feel overwhelming, fast, or hard to control—you're not broken, lazy, or “too sensitive.” In this episode of Therapy in a Nutshell, I explain the brain science behind ADHD and emotional dysregulation—including delayed prefrontal cortex development, dopamine and norepinephrine differences, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and why emotions can hit before your “brakes” have time to turn on. Up to 70% of people with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation, and there are real neurological reasons why. I'll break down: Why ADHD emotions feel so intense and reactive How executive dysfunction affects impulse control, frustration tolerance, and emotional recovery What rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is and why criticism can feel physically painful Biological triggers that worsen emotional dysregulation (sleep, hunger, sensory overload) ADHD emotional “superpowers” that often get overlooked Looking for affordable online counseling?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Steev Hodgson, certified ADHD coach and founder of DOSE, an app built to support how an ADHD brain actually works. We talk about why ADHD is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or ignored, and how that confusion shows up in emotional regulation, executive function, and rejection sensitivity. Steev shares his own late diagnosis, how coaching thousands of clients sharpened his self awareness, and why real time tools matter when emotions spike. We also unpack RSD, practical techniques for regulating reactions, and how awareness can turn what feels like a weakness into a measurable advantage at work and at home.

The Holidays: A Group Project My Nervous System Didn't Agree To In this New Year's episode, Patricia Young (she/her) explores why the holiday season can be especially challenging for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD nervous systems. Through personal stories about gift giving, overstimulation, masking, PDA, rejection sensitivity, and the need for sameness and predictability, she unpacks how small changes and social expectations can quietly dysregulate neurodivergent people. The episode also includes updates on her purple hair and tattoo, reflections on attunement and fairness, and a gentle alternative to New Year's resolutions—offering practical categories for reflection that center self-compassion, regulation, and realistic support. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why holidays are uniquely overstimulating for neurodivergent nervous systems · How transitions, visitors, and disrupted routines impact regulation · The role of predictability, sameness, and visual memory in autistic well-being · Why gift giving can activate PDA, executive dysfunction, and shame · How attunement in gift giving can feel deeply regulating—and deeply stressful · The pressure to perform gratitude and enthusiasm while masking discomfort · Why opening gifts in front of others can be overwhelming for autistic adults · How fairness, justice sensitivity, and reciprocity complicate holiday dynamics · The emotional labor involved in "doing it right" socially · How body doubling supports assertiveness and nervous system regulation · Why small environmental changes can create disproportionate stress · The difference between order as regulation versus control · How animals, sensory joy, and flexibility can increase tolerance for chaos · Reflections on regret, learning, and doing things differently over time · Why curiosity and problem-solving are often misunderstood in autistic communication · How rejection sensitivity and object permanence affect relationships · A compassionate alternative to New Year's resolutions · Reflective life categories including health, finances, relationships, self-care, creativity, home, and novelty · Why survival mode is sometimes the only valid goal · A reminder that sensitivity is wiring—not a flaw   SOUND BITES ·       "Our nervous systems really do best with sameness, repetition, and predictability." ·       "Masking is all about making other people feel comfortable—and that's a lot of work." ·       "Regret doesn't mean you did something wrong. It means you're learning." ·       "You have a right to be regulated, dysregulated, organized, disorganized, content, or discontent." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

In our first episode of 2026, the legendary UK record producer, remixer, and dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood reflects on his fourth solo studio effort, The Collapse of Everything, released last summer on his On-U Sound label. He explains how the album's melodic, contemplative sonic headspace balances modern plugin technology with the raw, "breathing" energy of live performances. He also talks about many of his collaborators like Doug Wimbish and Brian Eno, but also dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Over his five-decade career, Sherwood has become synonymous with a distinctive "sound-scientist" approach to the mixing desk, most notably associated with the groundbreaking projects African Head Charge, the industrial-funk powerhouse Tackhead,  rhythmic explorers Dub Syndicate, and the seminal roots-dub band Creation Rebel.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Rejection hits some men harder than others. For a lot of guys, it's not just discomfort—it feels like danger. One cold look from your wife. One delayed text. One “Can we talk later?” from your boss. Suddenly you're spiraling, apologizing, chasing, overreacting, or completely shutting down.This isn't weakness. It isn't you being dramatic.It's rejection sensitivity—and most men who grew up in chaotic, unpredictable, or emotionally unstable homes are living with it without ever knowing what it's called.In this episode, I'll break down:— Why some men live relationships on “hard mode” — How your childhood wired your brain to scan for danger — Why neutral things feel like personal attacks — Why you over-apologize, over-explain, and overreact — How rejection sensitivity contributes to sexless marriages — Why anxious men attract avoidant or narcissistic partners — And, most importantly, what you can do to rewire thisIf you're neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, etc.), this is going to make even more sense. RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) is something I see constantly in men in my audience and inside The Brotherhood.You're not broken. You're trained. And you can retrain yourself.If you want deeper work on this, my book REBUILD and our Brotherhood community are powerful tools to help you break out of this pattern and build confidence, boundaries, and emotional stability.► Get my book REBUILD on Amazon (hardcover, Kindle, or audiobook for members): https://a.co/d/e6KBqYE► Join The Brotherhood – private men's community, daily Zoom groups, 1,300+ hours of audio, coaching, and more: https://helpformen.com/join

Bold Moves: Purple Hair, a Tattoo, and No Take-Backs Patricia (she/her) reflects on what it really means to make bold moves—and how we talk to ourselves when those decisions don't land the way we hoped. Through the very real experiences of dyeing her hair purple for the first time and getting a tattoo she isn't sure she likes, she explores autistic decision-making, sensory overwhelm, masking, regret, and self-compassion. This episode is about reframing regret as information, honoring neurodivergent needs in the moment, and learning how to be kinder to ourselves when we take risks and feel unsure afterward. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·  End-of-year reflection: How has this year been, and what are we carrying into the next one? · The desire to make bold moves—and the fear that often comes with them · Deciding to dye hair purple for the first time · Letting excitement, doubt, and second-guessing coexist · Experiencing a deeply neurodivergent-affirming salon appointment · The importance of predictability, process explanations, and bodily autonomy · Getting over-hungry, tech issues, and how small barriers can cascade into overwhelm · Allowing a meltdown in a safe space instead of masking through it · Not knowing immediately whether you like something—and the pressure to perform enthusiasm · Scheduling a tattoo the very next day as another bold move · Sensory overload, unexpected pain, and difficulty advocating in the moment · Masking through physical pain and being praised for "doing great" · Immediate tattoo regret and the awareness of permanence · Naming regret without spiraling into shame or self-blame · Reframing regret as data, not a moral failure · Disconnecting from the body temporarily as a coping strategy · How rigid rules around food, ownership, and permission show up in autistic lives · The power of communicating needs instead of carrying silent embarrassment · Challenging the belief that we must always make the "right" decision · Ending with reminders about gentleness, lowered expectations, and honoring sensitivity SOUND BITES · "The goal was to make bold moves—and I did." · "It's okay to have regrets. That doesn't mean I did something wrong." · "I allowed myself to feel what I was feeling instead of masking and falling apart later." · "What we tell ourselves about our experiences matters more than the experience itself." · "Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how your brain is wired." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you.

We're simply having a wonderful holiday special, and you're invited.   While music fans may be divided about the merits of Paul McCartney's enduring holiday offering "Wonderful Christmastime," it's hard to deny that the Holidays are always packed with new releases from both of his legendary bands. 2025 brought us both the latest installment in The Beatles Anthology albums (and the updated streaming series), plus two projects that shine a spotlight on Macca's other band, Wings.   One was a new triple LP compilation, WINGS: The Definitive Self-Titled Collection, and the other is a book, the oral history Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run, written by McCartney himself, and edited by our guest today, historian Ted Widmer, who talks about the process of working with McCartney and what he learned about the story of the ex-Beatle's overachieving second act.   And McCartney's current long-serving guitarist/bassist Brian Ray just got back from the band's worldwide Got Back Tour, and is here to share some of his insights about bringing the McCartney catalogue to life, Every Night. He also talks about some of his solo projects, including the recent RSD Black Friday double LP, Rock The Plaza, where Ray worked alongside legends like Paul Rodgers, Josh Homme, Alice Cooper, and Orianthi.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Let's talk about the year I accidentally became everything I tell people NOT to do.You know that advice I've been giving for 15 years about not getting stuck in eternal student mode? Yeah, well, I completely shit the pooch on that one in 2025. I got so deep into learning and feminine energy that I basically turned into a gorgeously gormless worm with no exoskeleton, just vibing on the floor wondering why my business wasn't growing.Turns out? When you send 15 emails to your community instead of 50, stop creating content, and spend all your time in "receiving mode," things get a bit wobbly.But here's the beautiful thing about mistakes: they're fucking excellent teachers when you're willing to look at them honestly. And honey, I'm looking. Hard.In this episode, I'm spilling everything—the moments I lost my creative voice, the spreadsheet that kicked my ass back into gear, the friendship that saved my podcast, and all the experiments that actually worked (spoiler: there were some absolute crackers).This is for anyone who's ever overthought themselves into paralysis, bought seventeen courses and opened none of them, or wondered why their business stopped feeling like THEM. Come sit with me and Tam while we laugh about RSD, celebrate the wins, and map out what's coming next.Topics Covered:Overthinking vs. taking action in your businessBalancing feminine energy with masculine strategyThe three types of learners: Eleanor, Ruby, and IngridWhy I stopped creating (and how I started again)Learning mode vs. implementation modeTracking business metrics that actually matterExperimenting with new program formatsRunning masterminds and coaching differentlyKey Insights:Spending 10-20% of your time in learning mode is the sweet spot—any more and you're avoiding actionWhen you're too far into feminine/receiving energy without masculine structure, you become "gorgeously gormless"Your business data tells you when you're off track—I sent 15 emails instead of 50 and wondered why things felt wrongCreating content is lifeblood—for you and your businessSometimes you need accountability from a friend who'll say "bitch, where's my email?"The 100 creations in 30 days challenge can kickstart your creative flow againExperimenting with new formats (like backstage passes to your launch) triggers your obliger tendency in the best wayBody doubling works for content creation—recording with someone else changes everythingNotable Quotes:"I got my head stuck up my own asshole in overthinking mode. And the thing about overthinking mode is it's just not fun or sexy or adorable or enjoyable.""When I get too feminine energy influenced, I'm completely gormless—just no exoskeleton, no skeletal manner, anything.""Creating is my lifeblood and it's the business's lifeblood, and whatever I need to do in order to make that happen is time well spent."Who This Podcast Is For:Creative women entrepreneurs, neurodivergent business owners, and spiritual seekers who want honest conversations about building businesses that actually feel good—mistakes, magic, and all.Links & Resources Mentioned:Leonie Dawson's 2026 Goal WorkbooksThe Leonie Lab on InstagramLeonie Dawson's Brilliant Biz & Life AcademyCreative Goddess Embodied programBig Money Big Impact (21-day selling challenge)Momentum Mastermind2025 Dream Quest masterclassLove this episode?

Today, we are talking about RSD or rejection sensitivity dysphoria. In the podcast I said disorder but it is dysphoria or feeling sensitive to being rejected. It is generally associated with neurodivergent populations like spectrum disorder or ADHD. People will tend to be sensitive to being rejected or othered when they behave differently than their peers or people around them. This can create behavior like conflict avoidance or people pleasing which relates to codependency. It can also lead to people withdrawing from others or anxiety about how they are perceived. #RSD #attachmentstyle #anxiety #mentalhealth #authenticself #secureattachment

Keeping it Real During the Holidays: p.s. I Love the Grinch! Patricia (she/her) dives into the emotional and sensory whirlwind of navigating change as an AuDHDer during the holiday season. She unpacks the exhaustion that comes from shifting family dynamics, unpredictable routines, kitten chaos, people coming and going, and the desire to show up with more capacity than she actually has. Patricia speaks candidly about shutdowns, resentment, communication misfires and boundary-setting. This episode invites listeners to honor their own wiring, acknowledge their limits, and give themselves permission to navigate change on their own terms—especially when the world is loud, messy, and demanding far too much. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·   The emotional weight of constant change during the holidays ·  Why autistic and AuDHD nervous systems struggle with unpredictability ·  How people coming and going can destabilize daily rhythms ·  Sensory overwhelm from decorations, noise, and social expectations ·  The shutdown mode that follows too much "peopling" ·  Resentment that canform when needs aren't communicated directly ·  That awkward dance between wanting to show up and feeling over capacity ·  Kitten chaos as both joy and sensory overload ·  Feeling responsible for everyone's experience (hello, people-pleasing!) ·  The grief of not feeling safe to voice your values or boundaries ·  Family conflict and the ripple effects on your emotional regulation ·  Why inconsistency can be draining for some neurodivergent brains ·  The need for predictability, routines, and familiar sensory anchors ·  Internalized pressure to be "easygoing," especially around holidays ·  The truth-telling wisdom of the body when burnout hits ·  "Harvest feast" (aka Thanksgiving) recovery mode ·  Observing subtle family dynamics that others overlook ·  Using pacing and gentle self-compassion to navigate the season ·  How even positive changes can be dysregulating ·  The reminder that honoring your limits is an act of self-love SOUND BITES ·  "Change really affects me. I overdid it, and now my body is telling the truth." ·  "Even things that you enjoy can be dysregulating and overwhelming." ·  "If someone could respond differently, they would—we're not choosing to have difficulty with change." ·  "Inconsistency is very difficult for me; it's not about the tree, it's about the mismatch." ·  "I think what I call depression is really resentment for not being direct." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

What if there is a biblical process for healing that actually works — consistently? For years, Beatty Carmichael wrestled with the same questions so many Christians have: Why are so many believers sick? Why do our prayers for healing so often seem ineffective? That search led him into a Scripture-based discovery that is producing real, repeatable results — not because of a rare gift, but because it follows the spiritual mechanics God laid out for healing with a success rate approaching 90%.In this remarkable conversation, you'll hear stories of people healed instantly in public places — RSD, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, glaucoma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and more. And you'll learn the simple, powerful, biblically rooted process behind those healings that any believer can use.If you or someone you love has battled something for years, this may offer real hope.If you or someone you love is battling a condition that doctors haven't fully been able to explain or resolve…If you've prayed for healing and wondered why nothing changed…If you want to walk in the authority Jesus gave His disciples…This conversation could unlock the breakthrough you've been praying for.God still heals.

When a pupil goes from “fine” to “furious” because you asked them to correct one sentence, it's easy to think they're overreacting. But for many children with ADHD, even small corrections can feel like rejection - triggering intense emotional pain known as Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you'll learn what RSD actually is, why it's so strongly linked with ADHD, and how it shows up in the classroom through explosive moments, sudden shutdowns, perfectionism, or quiet withdrawal.You'll learn how feedback can unintentionally trigger RSD, why some pupils take even gentle corrections to heart, and the practical shifts teachers can make to reduce distress, support emotional regulation, and keep expectations high. We also share two simple strategies you can use this week to prevent blow-ups and help pupils feel safe enough to learn.If you've ever wondered, “Why did they react like that?” - this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need.Important links:Get our FREE SEND Behaviour Handbook: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/send-handbookDownload other FREE behaviour resources for use in school: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/resources

Emily Kircher-Morris and Dr. William Dodson have a conversation about the complexities of ADHD, in which they discuss emotional dysregulation, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), and social anxiety. They talk about how RSD manifests in ADHDers, and how we can distinguish it from social anxiety. They also explore the impact of childhood experiences, the vital role of relationships, and the need for updated diagnostic criteria. This conversation was taken from a two-part series earlier in 2025. TAKEAWAYS Emotional dysregulation is often overlooked in ADHD diagnoses. RSD is a specific condition affecting many with ADHD; the pain can be both emotional and physical, leading to significant life impairments. Social anxiety is anticipatory, while rejection sensitivity is reactive; they can coexist but are distinct. Childhood experiences can exacerbate RSD but are not the sole cause. Medication, alongside sleep, nutrition, structure, and routine, plays a vital role in emotional regulation. Mood disorders can manifest independently of external events, and a significant percentage of individuals with ADHD have coexisting psychiatric diagnoses. Understanding RSD is essential for clinicians, and psychoeducation is key to self-advocacy. Here's the research project Emily mentions in her closing thoughts. Dr. Bill Dodson is a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has specialized in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for the last 27 years. In recognition of his clinical contributions to the field of ADHD he was named a Life Fellow of the APA in 2012. He was the 2006 recipient of the national Maxwell J. Schleifer Award for Distinguished Service to Persons with Disabilities. His contributions to the field of ADHD include: The only currently available methodology for the fine-tuning of ADHD medications. The concept of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and its treatment with medications. The first non-behavioral theory of what ADHD is and how it can be treated successfully with an emphasis on what goes right rather than what goes wrong.

From decluttering and kayaking to the quiet comfort of boring days and the challenges of social invitations, Patricia invites listeners into the gentle, nonlinear process of living authentically as an AuDHDer. With humor and tenderness, she explores aging, family connection, holidays, and what it means to find peace amid imperfection.

Whatever I do just doesn't feel like enough." ·  "People are going to have their own thoughts and judgments about us — and we can't control that." ·  "I'm just trying to appreciate boring days, because boring means stable." ·  "Even when it's something that will help me, if it feels like a demand, my brain just says no." ·  "You are not for everybody, and everyone is not for you."

Record Store Day Black Friday 2025 is coming up on November 28th. This week and next week's episodes of the podcast will shine a spotlight on a few of the featured titles from the Black Friday List, which is up now at RecordStoreDay.com. This week, we welcome back "The Jazz Detective,"  Zev Feldman, and while of course he brought along some super cool jazz titles from Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Bill Evans, and Yusef Lateef, he's also branching out into blues with B.B. King, and even D.C. hardcore punk, with a historically charged release from Bad Brains. Honestly, we could listen to Zev talk about his projects for days.  And we'll play a sad train song for "Folk Hero" Todd Snider who passed away on November 14th.  The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

It's Monday. You know what that means... BONUS TRAX is hear to quench your vinyl thirst with our dais of dedicated record collectors talking about records that instantly make your record collection better (if you own them). Any of these titles in your own possession? From there we take a quick turn into the messy situation between the organizers of Record Store Day and YouTube VC'er Too Many Records (Matt Kessler) owner of a Portland record store of the same name. Matt made two videos recently (links below) sharing that he is no longer authorized/allowed to sell RSD titles at his shop, and with next to no communication from the RSD folks, it's opened several different dialogues inside the Vinyl Community on what this means for smaller indie stores, the RSD org as a whole, and the future of the event(s).  Bringing it back to records, our WFMU folks showcase a couple of their favorite finds during the record fair, and a tale (or two) of a couple that got away. Remember, when you see it, don't hesitate (too much). Speaking from experience here! Stylus down, volume up.

From neighborhood conflicts to horse training lessons, from cancel culture to navigating friendships and travel as an autistic person, Patricia opens up about the messy, contradictory realities of life, belonging, and growth. Listeners will walk away feeling less alone in their struggles with relationships, self-advocacy, and embracing both discomfort and joy.

This is about neurodivergent miscommunication. And that gave me relief—at least for a little while." · "I'm more than two-thirds through my life, and I want to whip it up a little bit. If you're going to do some fun stuff, you better do it soon." · "Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. You are perfect exactly as you are in a world not made for us."
