Description

Join ADHDer, Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE and husband, the BAFTA award-winning comedy actor, Paul Whitehouse (Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, The Fast Show) as they explore ADHD with diverse celebrity ADHDer guests, professors and specialists in this brand new Podcast series. Given the recent 'explosion’ in diagnoses, particularly within the world of comedy, Paul Whitehouse represents the archetypal sceptic. He’s there to challenge the very concept of ADHD. Dr. Mine provides theoretical and research insights, counter arguments and her own lived experience, creating a conversational and highly accessible space to explore this much misunderstood topic. Each episode they’ll chat to a guest who’ll share their experience of ADHD, whether from the point of view of being diagnosed themselves, as a parent or a specialist in the field. Fellow ADHDer guests include Rory Bremner, Denise Welch, Gemma Styles, Dr Alex George, Shaparak Khorshandi, Shaun Ryder and many more.

Comedian, broadcaster and author Sue Perkins joins I’m ADHD! No You’re Not to discuss her brand new audiobook, Attention Please: Tales from a Distracted Mind, and the reality of living with ADHD.

Joe Tracini: ADHD, BPD & Everything In Between

2026/04/09

Content warning: This episode discusses suicide, addiction and child sexual abuse. If you would like support with anything discussed in this episode, please visit our help hub for resources: https://www.imadhdnoyourenot.com/help-hub/ Joe Tracini is an award-winning comedian, Sunday Times bestselling author, and one of the most honest voices in the conversation around mental health. But this isn't a tidy recovery story. Joe sits down with Mine and Paul to talk about growing up as a child performer while his mum had a breakdown and his dad was absent. The years that followed saw Joe’s relationship with drugs and alcohol take over. 14 years of sobriety and soul searching later led him to a BPD diagnosis that finally gave him something to address, and an ADHD diagnosis that only came in 2025. It's raw, it's funny, it's one of the most remarkable conversations the podcast has ever had. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
