The Ruling Passions Podcast explores the rich, complex relationship between neurodivergent lived experience, and the things that captivate and interest us. I'm Chris Bailey, and across this series I’ll be in conversation with people whose lives and experiences challenge the idea that intense interest is something to be pathologised. Together, we’ll delve into the many ways that neurodivergence shapes — and is shaped by — passion, curiosity, and meaning-making. This podcast is part of a broader project.
