Savant Garde
Savant GardeHosted by Lucy Valentine (Boonta Vista) and Jesse Black (Sludgefest). Savant-Garde is almost certainly the world’s only podcast where one autistic ex-wife and one OCD ex-husband unpack the disgracefully disordered worlds of Adrian Monk and the Good Doctor, Shaun Murphy, through the lens of two very normal brains.

- :-) cool!
someone who loves me listens to this podcast! someone who loves me gently shared that my fear of drinking bottled beverages that have been sitting at room temperature for 4 hours due to “contamination” and “bacteria cultures” sounds an awful lot like someone on a podcast he listens to! luckily i’ve learned maybe the reason i’m “like that” is OCD. in fact my therapist has suspected i might have OCD for several years now. my sister thought it was a “given” and a “known fact”. thank you for helping... more

A podcast so good that I feel no desire to watch the shows, what would be the point without all of the cutting analysis?
