ADHD-BCE … the podcast that scours the ages in search of Neurodiversity. Many have suggested some of our most influential creators, inventors and renegades were firmly on the spectrum. Join late diagnosed neurodivergent George Lomas in this quest to identity and celebrate humanities greatest stories and achievements that may just betray spectrum traits. In each episode George, along with Neurodiversity coach and trainer Ben Holmes pick the minds of their special guests.
Toxic Academia with Dr Andy Shuttleworth - S2 Bonus
George chats with Dr Andy Shuttleworth about their experiences at university and how neurodivergent students can struggle with academic snobbery, imposter syndrome and other learning differences.
Following on from positive experiences through school, Andy followed an all too common path through academia; anxiety, stress and depression. Now outside the academic world, Andy has come to terms with his experiences and offers heartfelt advice to others still in or considering an academic career.

The Evolving Human Story: Neurodiversity and Archaeology - Ep 206
In this reflective Season 2 finale, George steps back from individual episodes to take the long view—exploring what deep time can reveal about human variation, ancient nervous systems, migration, farming, adaptation, and the ever-changing ways societies define what is considered “normal.”
From the evolutionary origins of our survival-focused nervous systems to the profound social rewiring brought about by farming, this episode asks whether some of the struggles of modern life might make more sense when viewed against the vast backdrop of human history.
Along the way, George reflects on brilliant conversations this season with Professor Duncan Garrow, Matilda “Tilly” Siebrecht, and Dr Andy Shuttleworth, bringing together themes of uncertainty, material culture, migration, cognition, and the extraordinary diversity of human experience.

Farming - Ep 205
Farming didn’t just change what we ate—it changed how we lived, thought, and experienced the world.
In this episode, we explore the origins of agriculture from the Fertile Crescent and the Natufian transition, through early settlements in Anatolia like Boncuklu Höyük and Çatalhöyük, and the spread of farming into Europe with the Linearbandkeramik culture.
Along the way, George ask a deeper question: what did this shift mean for the human nervous system—and for neurodivergent minds?
From mobile hunter-gatherer life to structured farming societies, this episode explores how one of the biggest transitions in human history may still shape how we think and feel today.
