Joe Tracini is an award-winning comedian, Sunday Times bestselling author, and one of the most honest voices in the conversation around mental health. But this isn't a tidy recovery story. Joe sits down with Mine and Paul to talk about growing up as a child performer while his mum had a breakdown and his dad was absent. The years that followed saw Joe’s relationship with drugs and alcohol take over. 14 years of sobriety and soul searching later led him to a BPD diagnosis that finally gave him something to address, and an ADHD diagnosis that only came in 2025. 

It's raw, it's funny, it's one of the most remarkable conversations the podcast has ever had.

In a searingly honest conversation with Mine and Paul, Gary Numan reflects on a childhood of expulsions, canings and the creeping realisation that he wasn't unlikeable, he was just wired differently. He talks about fatherhood, emotional dysregulation and his neurodivergent household.

Oh, and David Bowie had him thrown out of a room once.

In this episode of I'm ADHD! No You’re Not, Mine & Paul sit down with 16-year-old podcaster and schoolboy Daniel Evans. Daniel isn’t talking about ADHD from a distance, he’s right in the middle of it, navigating school, friendships, expectations, and his own mind in real time. 

The conversation gets into what it actually feels like growing up neurodivergent today - the pressure to fit into a system that doesn’t work for you, the frustration of being misunderstood, and the constant mental noise that never really switches off. Daniel opens up about diagnosis, medication, burnout, and those days where everything feels too much, alongside the moments where things click and you feel unstoppable.

In the final episode of series 4, Paul and Mine welcome the legendary Alison Moyet - the unmistakable voice behind Yazoo and one of the defining artists of the 80s alongside contemporaries like Depeche Mode - for a profoundly honest exploration of creativity, identity and neurodivergence.

Alison reflects on growing up dyslexic in the 70s, feeling out of place, and discovering in later life that ADHD had been the invisible thread running through her childhood, her career, and even her early days emerging from the Essex electronic scene. She talks candidly about parenting neurodivergent children, navigating education systems that didn’t understand her, and how finally receiving an ADHD diagnosis helped her forgive decades of self-blame. Alison’s storytelling is warm, self-aware and richly human.

In this week’s episode, punk icon John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) joins the mayhem, bringing his razor-sharp wit, childhood stories of meningitis and memory loss, brutal nun-schooling, empathy, pain, humour, drugs, love, loss, and a lifetime of refusing to sit neatly in anyone’s box - especially not one labelled ADHD. 

Part interview, part therapy session, and part verbal battle, this episode shows a side of John Lydon most people have never seen: tender, reflective, philosophical, and fiercely funny - even when he’s derailing every question Mine tries to ask.

Never Mind the B*******, here’s the podcast.

England prop and World Cup champion Hannah Botterman joins Mine and Paul for an honest, hilarious dive into life as a neurodivergent athlete. From growing up in a rugby family to being kicked out of college, from “van-life” painting and decorating to unexpectedly earning her England caps, Hannah shares the chaotic, funny, and vulnerable moments that shaped her.

She opens up about her late ADHD diagnosis, emotional dysregulation, the impact on relationships, and how medication and understanding coaches changed everything. Hannah also talks about the post–World Cup crash, knee-slide injuries, LGBTQ+ visibility in sport, and what she hopes for the future of women’s rugby.

In this illuminating conversation, Mine and Paul sit down with clinical psychologist and UCL researcher Dr. Josh Stott, the lead author behind the recent study that sparked national headlines when it contended that adults diagnosed with ADHD have a reduced life expectancy. Dr. Stott clarifies what the data actually says - and what it absolutely does not say - unpacking the nuances behind diagnosis rates, contributing lifestyle factors, smoking and mental-health risks, gender differences, and why the media’s interpretation missed the mark.

The discussion travels widely: from the underdiagnosis of ADHD and autism (especially in women and older adults), to how exclusion and stigma shape later-life health outcomes and the misconceptions around medication. Blending humour with depth, the hosts and Dr. Stott explore the societal, clinical, and personal forces that shape the neurodivergent experience.

In this brilliantly chaotic and honest episode, Mine and Paul welcome actor, comedian and impressionist Kevin Bishop for a conversation that moves at the speed of his (almost) genius mind - fast, funny and unexpectedly vulnerable. Kevin talks about everything from his eerily accurate Steve Coogan impression and his early years tap-dancing in panto, to the confusion of being a working child actor thrown back into a rigid school system that never knew what to do with him.

He reflects on the years he spent self-medicating with alcohol and the ongoing process of seeking an ADHD diagnosis after a lifetime of feeling out of step with the world around him. Along the way, Kevin treats us to a whirlwind of pitch-perfect impressions from Billy Connolly to Elton John, Michael Douglas and Harry Enfield… and even one of Paul himself.
