Hacking Your ADHD
William Curb takes a refreshingly practical, research-informed approach to ADHD management. With over 330 episodes and a 4.7-star rating from 700 listeners, this show has carved out a niche by focusing on techniques that work with the ADHD brain rather than trying to force it into neurotypical molds.
The format varies in a way that keeps things interesting. Some episodes are interviews with ADHD professionals, educators, and people with lived experience, typically running 40 to 45 minutes. Others are shorter research recap segments (12 to 20 minutes) where William teams up with co-host Skye Waterson to break down recent ADHD studies into plain language. Then there are solo episodes where William unpacks a specific strategy or concept. New episodes drop weekly on Mondays.
What listeners consistently praise is the tone. William treats his audience like intelligent adults who happen to have ADHD, not like patients who need hand-holding. He presents research without dumbing it down, offers strategies without being preachy, and shares his own ADHD experiences without making the whole show about himself. The episode summaries he provides are also a nice touch for ADHD listeners who need a quick reference.
The show covers a wide range — from medication deep-dives and the latest atomoxetine research to habit formation, task initiation, and managing the emotional rollercoaster that comes with ADHD. It's particularly strong on the intersection of science and daily life, translating academic findings into stuff you can actually try tomorrow morning. A smart, unpretentious listen for anyone who wants evidence behind their ADHD advice.
