General Questions

What is Strange Life Podcast about?

Strange Life is a podcast about identity, culture, and neurodivergence—told from the inside. Hosted by Daisy Onubogu, the show dives deep into personal experiences and hard-earned knowledge to explore what it means to live at the intersection of autism, ADHD, Blackness, womanhood, Igbo heritage, and more. Each episode is a thoughtful deep-dive into what makes us who we are. Topics will alternate between the psychological and sociological.

Who is the host, Daisy Onubogu?

Daisy Vera Onubogu is a writer, speaker, a former venture capital investor, and former tech executive with a background in Law, DEI, and community design. She’s also an autistic, ADHD, Igbo, Irish woman whose life experiences span many cultural and cognitive frameworks. This podcast is where she brings it all together—scholarship, storytelling, and selfhood.

Why did you start this podcast?

Because I’ve spent years obsessively learning about how identity and culture shape our inner worlds. I’ve fought hard to understand myself, and I wanted to share that understanding in a way that could help others feel seen, understood, or less alone. Also: I love to talk. A lot.
