About This Podcast

A weekly mini podcast detailing my experiences as a QA professional working in videogames, with both autism and ADHD. Each week I'll be discussing some neurodivergent-related topic followed by a games quality topic (which I always cover in exactly 500 words... mostly). These are based on my own experiences and opinions, research, discussions with other professionals and neurospicy individuals, and are intended to provide insight, guidance, thought provoking ideas and a little bit of venting for me!
