Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 143 ratings
  • Smooth show titles and segues

    It’s not everyday that you get to hear tech in the same convo as 90s deep dives, Taylor Swift, and manic random ADHD tangents. Brett and Christina, along with the occasional guest, bring you along for a relaxing and strange conversation. Sit back, preferably tired, and enjoy the ride 👍🏼

  • Feels like home

    I look forward to Overtired every week because listening to Brett and Christina makes my ADHD brain feel it's at peace because the podcast sounds like my brain. It is absolutely the most comfortable I feel each week.

  • OverMired in Great Content

    You know what I’m talking about.

    But really—great conversational chemistry. I appreciate the breadth of things here, that OverTired is centralized around tech, but can tangent-off into the distance without losing the conceit of the show. Great stuff!

  • Late to listen, but loving the chats

    Known (in the social media sense) both of you for a long while, but strangely never listened until Brett was my guest on my podcast and I was Systematic.

    While I can’t say I understand it all, but I love listening. Oh and the episode where Brett mentioned object impermanence, sent me in a mental panic for finding a bunch of things.

    So thanks and here’s your GD review. 😉

LOST and Found
Q: How do you handle that from a mental health perspective?
Brett explains that when he has insomnia without mania, it wears him down and slows his concentration. He can become productive during manic episodes, but consistent lack of sleep wears him down.
400: Mental Health Overtime with Alex Cox
Q: How do you feel about your existing psychiatrist?
I feel fortunate and concerned because my psychiatrist who has been with me for 20 years is in his 70s, and I'm worried about finding someone else if he retires or passes away.
