About this listen

What happens when creativity and chaos collide? Annie Lennox’s story sparks a wider debate about how ADHD might fuel artistic brilliance. In this episode of Listener Land, Louis, Geoff and Wayne explore the restless energy behind some of music’s most iconic minds — from Lennox and Bowie to today’s rising stars.


Can traits like hyperfocus, impulsivity and obsession actually help musicians create timeless work? Or are we too quick to label what used to be called genius? Expect humour, healthy arguments and a deep dive into the psychology of music.
