From the team behind The Daily Tism and A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs comes the first ever sitcom by and for autistic people. Wait, surely that’s illegal?

It’s a Superpower?? follows Norah, Sophie, Pix, Wilder and Bums, five strangers who meet at an autism support group, accidentally acquire (useless) magic powers and are tasked with saving the world from a very neurotypical apocalypse. Come along for a wild ride that includes armies of bums on pogo sticks, mountains of overcompensation cake and one seriously pissed off hamster voiced by a seriously famous actor.

If you love shows with a lot of heart, a lot of magic and a hell of lot of ham-fisted attempts to avoid copyright infringement, this is the show for you! 

Episodes are released weekly on all good podcast platforms.
