Latest Episodes:

Medication Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Cate went on antidepressants and all you get is this lousy episode. In this Very Special Episode, Cate and Erik talk about their experiences and their relationship to medication and its effect on their lives, as well as some common (and uncommon) stigmas, ideologies and opinions about mental health and medication, as well as some of the more common questions we get about it.

F*cks Given and Ungiven Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Warning: Cate is dealing with a major depressive episode this week, and so this week's episode is far more casual than maybe is usual. We talk about going back to school, our success and failures in academics, our special interests and why they excite us, and what it's like to meet someone who passionately gives a f*ck (and what it's like when someone doesn't). Cate also tells a horror story from the first year of her very-short-lived teaching career and Erik talks about his decisions to drop out of school (three times). We also get a phone call.

ADHD Burnout Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Cate and Erik bring their own experiences with burnout to the table, and discover that they have *slightly* different understandings of burnout. We talk the pressures of high achievement, the profound loss that ADHD sometimes brings to new ideas, and discuss absolutely 0 ways to fix it, this is kind of a "feels and rants" episode this week. Warning: we do get pretty vulnerable in this episode, so maybe grab some snacks to get you through.

ADHDnD Live: Part 3- The Thrilling Conclusion Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

In this very time-blind episode, Blumken and Helvetica find themselves on the precipice of an exciting discovery about who-- or WHAT-- the mysterious entity keeping them trapped in this alternate realm is, and decide the best thing to do is pee on it. I dunno, it's DnD, sometimes it makes sense in the moment. This is the final episode from our live one shot that we recorded at PlayOnCon. Once again, we just want to say thanks to the kind people at PlayOnCon for having us and hosting us- we had an incredible time. Up next- Davenport, Iowa.

A Precisely 60-Minute Episode About Time Blindness Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

(Alternate Episode Title: "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" but Cate couldn't decide which one was funnier).
In this episode, Cate and Erik discuss time blindness- what it is, how it affects their lives, and some tips, tricks and the COOL STRATS they use to help manage their time, and talk about the challenges and difficulties they face in never knowing exactly what time it is. We also get into a fight. Okay like...the exact opposite thing as a fight. Also the Patreon Song is the most ARTISTICALLY complex thing you've ever heard in your entire life.

ADHD & Cooking: Part One Jul 22, 2021

By (shockingly frequent) popular request, here is our first episode about cooking! In this episode, Catie and Erik break down some of their feelings about the challenges (and delights) of cooking with ADHD. Erik shares more about his past as a chef, Catie has a podcast breakthrough, and then we talk a little bit about self-love and what the looks like in the kitchen. Also, we recorded the interstitials live on Twitch and they are hilariously bad this week, you're welcome.

ADHDnD Live: Captive Audience Pt 1 Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

In this Very Special three-part ADHDnD one shot, Blumken and Helvetica appear in front of a live studio audience- both in-game and IRL, because this episode is brought to you Live From PlayOnCon! We were so honored to bring ADHDnD for a spectacular three-night event hosted by our indefatigable DM Chris, who put together an interactive DnD game that brought the audience (literally) into the action and dealt with our nonsense live, which is honestly impressive in and of itself.
Parts two and three will be released in the coming weeks on Tuesdays, so stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of Captive Audience.

Infinite Quest LIVE from PlayOnCon Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

In this, our very first live show ever, Catie and Erik are joined by a live studio audience at PlayOnCon! In this episode, they talk (kind of) about ADHD and gaming, and we end with a *very* wholesome q&a with the audience, in which we discuss authentically being yourself, finding comfort in your own skin (or not) and how best to navigate a world that isn't particularly designed for the neurodivergent brain.
Also people like, cheer and stuff. No big deal.

Season One FINALE: Meandering Intentions Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Catie and Erik take a break from their cross-country road-trip breakdown (the car kind, not the brain kind) to ...attempt...to set some intentions for InfiniteQuest Season Two....what transpires is both proof that two people with ADHD should not spend ten hours in a truck and then make a podcast but also that ...y'know what? Maybe things are going to be okay, or, at least, the start of something new.
CW: Catie and Erik talk briefly about depictions of mental illness and systemic racism on shows like Law & Order, mentions of violence/sexual assault per the content of the show. If you want to skip past that part, we sort of start the show around the 20 minute mark but honestly I'm not sure we ever actually started this one.
