Episode 199 of the podcast covers ADHD and neuroplasticity, the lifelong capacity of the brain to change and rewire itself in response to the stimulation of learning and experience.

"What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" returns with James winning 5-1 so far for the series. Alex’s ‘Rapper name’ is FOX-P and James prefers ‘shut up’ to ‘shush’...
