  • That Time I Found Out My "Followers" Were Real
    2026/06/04
    Jen Friel can read a stranger in seconds. She always thought it was intuition — until the strangers started showing up everywhere. Watching. Rotating. Following a pattern only she could see. For years, no one believed her. Friends were confused. The police couldn't help. But Jen documented everything and refused to give up. When a single piece of surveillance footage finally proved what was happening, the truth was far more disturbing than she ever imagined — a co-founder arrested for attempted murder, extortion, and kidnapping. But the biggest revelation wasn't about the people following her. It was about herself. This is the unbelievably true story of Talk Nerdy to Me founder Jen Friel, told in her own words for the first time. A story about stalking, survival, pattern recognition, and the life-changing diagnosis that answered the question she had been asking her entire life: why am I so different?

  • Talk Nerdy To Me - Trailer
    2026/05/22
    If you were born knowing your brain was different, would you still try to think like everyone else? Or would you blaze your own path? Jen Friel is a trailblazer. She crashed the Grammy Awards, taught Pablo Escobar's surgeon how to use Twitter, and regularly invites Buzz Aldrin to her parties. Her life story is so unbelievable that Jerry Bruckheimer optioned it twice. But behind the wild adventures and the Hollywood bidding wars, Jen was drowning. Without knowing why, she couldn't regulate her system. She led a challenging life just doing everyday things. After surviving two suicide attempts, she chose to start living life on her own terms—even though she was completely unsure of what that meant. Then, a piece of surveillance footage changed everything. Diagnosed late in life with autism, synesthesia, and a few other conditions she'll tell you about later, Jen finally got the answers she had been searching for. Suddenly, the chaos made sense. This is the ACTUAL story of Talk Nerdy To Me®—told by the person who built it with her bare hands. It's a podcast about identity, resilience, and the weirdly wonderful ways we find our place in a world that wasn't built for the brains and bodies we were born with. If you've ever felt like an alien, welcome home. Jen is happy to host you and any other weirdo you came with. Subscribe now to hear the full story. New episodes dropping soon.
