What is it about podcasting that it seems to drain the intelligence and critical thinking skills out of so many men? (and it does seem to be mostly a male thing)

Gotta sell those supplements somehow. You can't go around telling people ADHD is genetic, they might get the idea that vitamins can't fix them!

Careful with that line of reasoning. There are some genetic diseases which are treated medically with vitamin therapy (rickets is one). ADHD having a genetic component has little to do with vitamins being an ineffective treatment for it.
