Squirrel: The Podcast EP1 Introductions

Two Gen-X sisters with ADHD let their brains run free and their freak flags fly. Squirrel: The Podcast is where mayhem, comedy, and questionable focus collide—because sometimes executive dysfunction is just creative thinking with extra sparkle. Join Chaos & Smirk as they chase thoughts, stories, and laughter through the tangled forest of adulthood. From family phone calls gone sideways to accidental kitchen disasters, every episode celebrates the art of distraction and the joy of not taking life too seriously. Come for the mayhem, stay for the laughter - focus is optional, fun is not.
