#Nowplaying: Uhh … our new podcast, clearly

A hoi hoi nerderinos,

We have a new podcast.

Have a looky loo …

Jen Friel can read a stranger in seconds. She sees sound as color, notices the details everyone else misses, and spent most of her life not knowing why. Then came a late autism diagnosis, and suddenly a lot of things made sense, including the moments when she was the only one who could see something was wrong.

Talk Nerdy To Me is the true story of Jen Friel, a writer, entrepreneur and accidental internet pioneer who once gave away nearly everything she owned to live off social media before “influencer” was a job title. Told in her own words for the first time, the series follows Jen from viral experiments and 103 online dates to something much darker: the realization that she was being followed, and that almost no one believed her.

From a hotel lobby to a police station to a Koreatown spa to a family cruise, Jen documents everything, tests every answer and refuses to disappear. It’s part memoir, part true crime and part survival guide for anyone who’s ever been told they’re “too much,” “not enough” or just imagining things.
