  • Embracing Neurodiversity w/ Robin Ince

    Embracing Neurodiversity w/ Robin Ince
    Jul 3 2025

    This week, Scott sits down with English comedian, author, and BBC radio host Robin Ince. Known for co-presenting The Infinite Monkey Cage alongside physicist Brian Cox, Robin brings his signature wit and wisdom to a deeply personal and socially relevant conversation.

    The episode centers around Robin’s new book, Normal Weird and Weirdly Normal: Adventures of Neurodiversity, in which he champions the beauty of embracing one's authentic self. Together, Scott and Robin explore the rigid social norms that often stifle creativity, connection, and individuality—and how celebrating neurodiversity can open the door to a richer, more inclusive world.

    This episode is a tribute to the magic that happens when we let go of “normal” and celebrate what makes us weirdly wonderful.

Covers wide range of topics within the realm of psychology, everything from mainstream to obscure. I've been following Scott for a while on Spotify, and by now I feel that weird effect where he seems like an old friend, haha! Scott seems to me like an intelligent and compassionate person, and I listen to his podcast when I need a pick-me-up in this bizarre world. The psychological perspective of the podcast is largely humanistic, in the vein of Maslow and Carl Rogers.
Scott is curious, empathetic, and probing as an interviewer/host. Also recommended for anyone with a "divergent" mind of any sort... Scott had to contend with the low expectations and barriers set upon him due to his childhood learning disability. As such, he's a big advocate for (and model of) the potential of neurodivergent minds.

For anyone with an interest in psychology
