The Complex

Written by Robin Chotzinoff and Jules Ochoa

Produced by Jules Ochoa

The Complex is a genre-bending audio drama set in an apartment building full of fictional adults with ADHD--all of them in therapy with the very real ADHD therapist James Ochoa, who plays himself. Voiced by some of the finest actors in Austin, Texas, The Complex features captivating, creative storylines as well as “afterthoughts” episodes, in which James and his son Jules discuss aspects of ADHD in depth.

Reviews

“I can’t say enough about how much this podcast series has helped me learn to deal with my ADHD. This is one of maybe three top favorites. It is so well done and so funny, with good sound quality.

“Give it a listen if you even suspect you are one of us. You will most certainly learn something.”

“I listen to multiple podcasts about ADHD and The Complex has been a great change in format and perspective. The serial nature of the storyline was fun to follow and created anticipation for the next episode. I feel pretty knowledgeable about ADHD and I learned new information, new strategies and saw the traits and actions of ADHD in fun yet concrete examples through the characters at the complex. Thanks so much for producing this series, and can we please have a Season 2? I need to know what happens!”
