    01:09:47||Ep. 198
    This week... We are joined by Adam Beck, drummer with UK black metal band STAHLSARG to open a discussion on autism, being a musician, how the two parts of his life effect each other & how the metal community can be supportive. We are seeing this as an introduction to a much wider conversation around neurodivergence, particularly within the music industry. Please add your comments below if you have questions / thoughts / subjects for future discussions etc. A big thanks goes out to Adam for this episode!
