Audible’s latest podcast release, Backfired: Attention Deficit, follows the acclaimed first season Backfired: The Vaping Wars.
In this second instalment of Backfired, co-hosts Leon Neyfakh and Arielle Pardes look at the unintended consequences of the ADHD industry and trace the surprising path that brought us here.
The ten-episode podcast looks at the explosion of ADHD diagnoses and stimulant prescriptions, tracing how this combined with other factors – including federally mandated limits on production – has created a widespread stimulant shortage in the U.S.
The Backfired franchise is a show about what happens when solving one problem inadvertently leads to a host of new ones.
Backfired: Attention Deficit is the latest podcast from Prologue Projects, the award-winning team behind Slow Burn, Fiasco, and Think Twice: Michael Jackson. It’s available on Audible now.
