This week Pete and Nikki dive into their mailbag to answer pressing questions from listeners. From microphone recommendations to advice on job searching with ADHD, Pete and Nikki provide thoughtful insights drawing from their own experiences and knowledge.

One major revelation in this episode - the dynamic duo have authored a book together called "Unapologetically ADHD" which is now available for pre-order before its September 4th release date. The book promises to translate the charm and wisdom of the podcast into the written word, with Nikki sharing practical tips and Pete weaving in personal essays.

Pete, an avid film buff, also shares some recent movie picks and discusses his love of connecting with other cinephiles on the film-focused social network Letterboxd. Another listener is curious about the connection between gut health and ADHD symptoms, a complex topic that Nikki and Pete explore.
