Pop Culture Parenting Podcast

Have you heard of Pop Culture Parenting podcast?  It's a fantastic podcast hosted by Dr Billy Garvey, a developmental paediatrician, and Nick McCormack, a dad learning as he goes. They talk honestly about real‑life parenting challenges and use fun scenes from 80s and 90s movies to make evidence‑based advice easy to understand. It’s especially useful for parents of neurodiverse kids. There are lots of episodes about focus, attention and ASD/ADHD‑related struggles — including dedicated episodes on kids who ‘can’t focus. They also cover topics like therapy and medication in a really approachable, supportive way, for example, episodes that discuss anxiety that  include clear explanations about how therapy and medication fit into supporting kids’ wellbeing.

Below is an example episod
