Tics are common in childhood, but recognizing when they are part of typical development, and when they may indicate Tourette syndrome or another tic disorder, can be challenging for pediatricians. A child repeatedly blinks during a well visit. A parent mentions a new throat-clearing sound that has been happening for weeks. Soon comes the question pediatricians hear often: "Should I be worried?" In this episode, we take a closer look at tics and Tourette syndrome, helping pediatricians distinguish common childhood tics from situations that may warrant further evaluation. We'll explore the natural history of tic disorders, common co-occurring conditions, and practical strategies for counseling and supporting families. Joining us for this conversation is Chelsey Stillman, PA-C, a physician assistant at Children's Colorado and the creator and director of the Integrative Tic Clinic. She is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include: What tics are and how common they are in children The natural history and typical course of tic disorders The differences between transient tics, chronic tic disorders, and Tourette syndrome Common conditions that can co-occur with tic disorders For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Our understanding of life with Tourette Syndrome has improved in recent years as more celebrities like Lewis Capaldi open up about their struggles as well as films like 'I Swear' showing the realities of the condition which can cause uncontrollable tics. This week, we wanted to hear a first hand account of life with the neurological condition so we spoke to Martin Sturman. Martin had mild tics as a child but never paid any attention to them until he suffered a traumatic experience in 2022 and the severity increased. He went from blinking and random bursts of song to throwing sandwiches across the room and shouting curses. He told us about not knowing what was happening to him at first, what it feels like to try and suppress a tic, and the public reaction to Tourette's.Martin has a good sense of humour about it all and told us about the times he's said something that he can't help but laugh at. And he's probably the only guest who can get away with shouting a curse directly at Terence... This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

He grabbed all the headlines at the Baftas for all the wrong reasons. Imagine what it was like to grow up with the neurological disorder, Tourette Syndrome, at a time when very little was known about it. That was the experience of Scotsman, John Davidson in the 1980s. Tourettes causes tics - uncontrollable and repetitive movements and vocalisations, like obscene gestures or swearing. John's story - one of both early rejection - and eventual acceptance - forms the basis for the biopic I Swear. Directed by Kirk Jones, it was nominated for five BAFTAs including Outstanding British Film and won for Leading Actor and Casting. It also captured headlines when John experienced a racially offensive verbal tic during the ceremony which was broadcast by the BBC. Kirk talks to Mihingarangi Forbes about the challenges of bringing John's story to the screen.

Clean Made Simple: Natural Toxin-Free Living with guest Beth Newberry, Advocate and Platinum Ambassador, Pure Haven Some of the most heavily-marketed and highly-recognized name brand consumer products today are formulated with toxic chemical ingredients. When these pollutants find their way into the air and water around us, they harm healthy ecosystems? How can we make non-toxic consumer product choices that are more earth-friendly? My guest, Beth Newberry, will help answer these questions and give practical tips for reading ingredient labels. Newberry is a Platinum Ambassador for Pure Haven. She started her foray into non-toxic living 16 years ago when her middle son, Liam was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. She began reading labels on her products and researching the ingredients and realized that many conventional products contain neurotoxins. This drove her passion to educate others on the same topic, and she began supporting more families with switching out to non-toxic alternatives. In addition to her work at Pure Haven, Newberry also chairs the Groundwater Protection Committee in her town of North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Consumers are making healthier choices with regards to food. Making healthier choices with respect to household cleaning and personal care product choices is a natural next step.

When the film I Swear won three Bafta awards, what happened at the ceremony prompted a much bigger story and wider discussion. The film portrays the life of John Davidson who grew up with Tourette syndrome – the incurable condition, which causes sudden, repetitive sounds or movements. During the awards, Davidson shouted out an involuntary racial slur, which was picked up by microphones and broadcast. In a statement, Davidson said he was "deeply mortified” and that the tics, as they are known, were involuntary and did not carry any meaning. In our conversations, we bring together two black Americans with Tourette's. They share their experiences, including dealing with the police. We also bring together three people in the UK to give an insight into their lives with Tourette's.

John Davidson's unfortunately-timed tic at the BAFTAs has reignited the culture war on identity politics, after Hollywood luvvies such as Jamie Foxx branded the Tourette Syndrome sufferer a racist for blurting out the N-word against his own will. An online commentator who's done the same is lawyer and activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu - who is challenged on it by Piers Morgan in this fiery episode of Uncensored. Dr Marc Siegel also joins to explain what having the disability really means - plus Piers speaks to former press secretary to Bernie Sanders and host of the Bad Faith podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, Prager U commentator Xaviaer DuRousseau and Gary Buechler AKA Nerdrotic.

The BBC is under fire over its failure to remove a racial slur shouted by John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, from its broadcast of the Bafta awards. Davidson was heard shouting the N-word while two stars of the film Sinners, Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan, were on stage. He said controversy over the incident had left him “distraught” and that he had been assured any offensive words would be edited out. The BBC has apologised for the error and said producers overseeing the coverage did not hear the slur.

State of the Union or State of Denial? BAFTAs Controversy & Avalanche Liability Tonight, Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address. But is it a real assessment of America — or political theater? Recent polling shows many Americans believe the White House isn't focused on the issues that matter most: cost of living, stability, global tension, and domestic division. Will Congress continue to align with the President, or begin to break ranks? Meanwhile, the BAFTAs spark global debate. Two award-winning Black actors take the stage. An actor with Tourette's shouts a racial slur. Social media erupts. Was it handled correctly? What responsibility exists when neurological conditions intersect with harmful language? The answer isn't simple — but the conversation matters. And in the deadly avalanche tragedy, new details raise serious questions. The skiers weren't acting recklessly alone — they were with a tour company. If warnings were issued, what liability exists? At what point does risk become negligence? Politics. Race. Responsibility.

Amy and T.J. discuss what wasn’t said in John Davidson’s statement after he shouted the N Word at acclaimed black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTA awards. While it’s true that Davidson - who suffers from Tourette Syndrome - could not control his outburst, it doesn’t mean it didn’t inflict harm. In his official statement, Davidson thanked the public for their support and said he’s spent his life teaching “empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.” But what he didn’t say was “I’m sorry” or even acknowledge the names of Jordan and Lindo - to apologize for the painful humiliation they endured at his outburst.

While it’s true that Davidson - who suffers from Tourette Syndrome - could not control his outburst, it doesn’t mean it didn’t inflict harm. In his official statement, Davidson thanked the public for their support and said he’s spent his life teaching “empathy, kindness, and understanding from others, and I will continue to do so.” But what he didn’t say was “I’m sorry” or even acknowledge the names of Jordan and Lindo - to apologize for the painful humiliation they endured at his outburst.

Looking like we're going to get into the 50's later this week before more snow hits us on Saturday. In the news this morning, Robert Carradine passed away at the age of 71, an update on the search for Nancy Guthrie, a Canadian man is going viral for taking a chainsaw to his television after the US Men's Hockey gold medal win at the Olympics, and a man with Tourette Syndrome had a very untimely outburst at the BAFTA awards over the weekend. In sports, the Bucks play tonight against the Heat, the Badgers are out of the Top 25 and take on Ohio State tomorrow night, Lindsey Vonn's leg almost got amputated after her crash at the winter games, the US Women's Hockey team declines President Trump's invite to the White House, and it looks like Manny Pacquiao is going to fight Floyd Mayweather again. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. Plus, a former star of "Home Improvement" gets sentenced to 16 months in jail. Elsewhere in sports, Kevin Harvick's son signs a deal with Toyota, Tyrese Haliburton has shingles, and a look ahead at the next Olympic games in 2028. Vogue has apparently declared 2026 "The Year of the Crack". And a list of things that seem impressive until you actually do them. Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show joined us just after 8am to talk about the Brewers' rough start to spring training and his recap of the Olympics. Wild story about a moving crew in Phoenix that helped save a 3 year-old after an Amber Alert was issued, and a woman's diamond went missing but was later found on the bottom of some guy's shoe! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a food delivery robot that destroyed a woman's garden, a college professor who got caught saying some racist stuff with a hot mic, a kid who was the victim of a throat-slashing is going viral for his attitude during a TV interview with his mom, and a guy in Kentucky got busted for having sex with roadkill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The BBC is apologizing after a racial slur was shouted during the BAFTAs last night in London. Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo (both Oscar nominees for "Sinners") were presenting the first award of the night when the n-word could be heard shouted out in the theater. The show host later apologized to the audience and blamed the outburst on a man's Tourette Syndrome. But that didn't stop an intense and heated debate online; many suggesting there's no way this was a coincidence. Whatever you do, please listen to the end of this episode where Amy and T. J. apply context and explain "coprolalia," a term you might not be familiar with but might explain why the incident might not have anything to do with racism.

John Davidson has been the poster boy for Tourette syndrome since 1988, when a documentary about him called ‘John's Not Mad' aired on BBC One. It showed the then 16-year-old from the Scottish Borders, living with explosive, often sweary tics, in a world that didn't understand the condition. Three decades on, we're much more aware of Tourette syndrome and that's in no small part down to John and his campaigning. Now, a film based on his life - ‘I Swear' - starring Maxine Peake and Robert Aramayo is about to be released.In this episode, John talks to Emma Tracey about the challenges of teenage tics, being shut in a school cupboard by a teacher so he didn't distract the class, and the impact the physical tics are having on his joints and muscles as he gets older. Presented by Emma Tracey Sound mixed by Dave O'Neill Produced by Emma Tracey and Cordelia Hemming Series producer is Beth Rose Senior News Editor is Lisa Baxter
