If you’re an avid public radio or podcast listener, you may already be familiar with Lauren Ober‘s voice. As podcast producer and host, she’s been behind the mic on shows like “Spectacular Failures” from APM Studios and NPR’s “The Big Listen”

Now, she’s out with a new podcast from Pushkin Industries — and this one is deeply personal. It’s called “The Loudest Girl in the World” and it’s all about her later-in-life autism diagnosis. Ober joins us now to tell us about the show and her journey.
