That Sinking Feeling
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Adventures in ADHD and ship salvage. A multi-generational story about a son’s ADHD, a grandfather’s ship salvage career, and a mother’s struggle to understand the challenges of each. Every episode contains one ship salvage job and explores the life lessons gleaned from those tales. The salvage jobs, as improbable as it may seem, became metaphors for understanding her son’s ADHD. Host Elizabeth Rynecki delves into this unlikely intersection over 6 episodes, talking to her son, her father and people whose lives have been touched by ADHD.

"This is a beautifully made podcast. (Stories are interwoven with a chorus voices from people dealing with ADHD in many ways.) I am a new mom and I thought to myself, this is how a mother’s brain works, this is how they dream. This is what being a mother is."
