The Deep Dive Podcast

Michael Coles

Booking Overview

An interview-led podcast focused on autism, neurodiversity, and inclusive community life, featuring external guests with lived experience alongside practitioners, consultants, advocates, and organisational specialists. Agencies could credibly pitch autistic and AuDHD authors, clinicians, educators, inclusion leaders, neurodivergent business experts, and family or travel specialists; booking difficulty appears low, with relevant expertise and lived experience more important than major public prominence.
