the ADHD Queens: Read the World Podcast artwork

A podcast where a trio of queer adhd-ers read and discuss books based in countries from around the world all the while being stuck in good old Nebraska. As the people pleasing weirdos that we are, we cannot simply do things for our own amusements [how could we have such audacity?] So we decided to start a brand with our first project being: a podcast. We three "grown ups" struggle with object permanence so this project ensures our ability to not forget the other two exist! We need your support to maintain our friendship. Oh, and our love of reading!
