Theirs sort of a standard practice when it comes to movie trailers, right? The whole "in a world where," that trope, and of course movie trailers don't have to be voiced by that one guy and be so epic sounding. But that's what really comes to mind for me when I think of movie trailers. What about you? What do you think of when you think of movie trailers? Take a second to think about it.
Well, throw it all out the window for podcast trailers.

Hi, I'm Tim Villegas.
And I'm Arielle Nissenblatt.
And this is the Trailer Park Podcast.
On this show we bring you trailers for podcasts that we think you should explore. Sometimes these trailers are for the audio that kicked off many epic seasons of a beloved podcast.
Sometimes the trailers will showcase were just made for fun or creativity sake.
Sometimes these trailers were made for projects that are looking for funding.
And sometimes they're somewhere in between all of that.
Welcome to the first episode of the trailer park, we made it! The cool thing about podcast trailers, like podcasting in general, is that there really are no rules. There's no network standards that need to be adhere to in order for a trailer to be aired. So podcasters can get really creative with it.
Sure there are best practices and on this show will not only play trailers for you, but also discuss a bit about what we liked and maybe disliked about some of the audio we share.
Let's introduce today's trailer, what should listeners expect Tim.
What's great about this trailer is that you know exactly what you're getting. There's no guesswork, no extra homework that you have to do. You're either interested in the subject matter or you're not.
Right. But either way you're going to learn something. This trailer comes to us from Jessica Kidwell. And it comes in at three minutes and one second. That is if you're listening on regular speed - shout out to the folks who are listening on 1.7 speed.
That's fast. That's too fast, Arielle. The show is called Neuroversity. Let's hit play on the trailer. We'll be back when it wraps to chat a bit about it.
Hi, I'm Jessica Kidwell. And this is Neuroversity. A weekly podcast focused on expanding our knowledge and understanding of the diverse ways humans can think, communicate love, live, work, and learn. Neurodiversity is a fairly new word coined in 1998 by sociologist Judy Singer, and it seems to be popping up everywhere. Big business is heralding its importance in hiring and development of employees. Education is looking at ways to include different learning styles in a way that's more inclusive and less isolating. It's finding its way into acceptance speeches at award shows and social media is full of hashtag neurodiversity. And yes, there are even podcasts solely focused on neurodiversity. And this podcast neuroversity aims to be another source for information and support for all members of this community. So what can you expect from this podcast? Well, this is a conversational style format, where I will interview a wide variety of people who are in the neurodivergent community, whether it is first person experiences, academic or research focused, or places and organizations that provide support and tools. I want to talk to them. neuroversity is dedicated to providing a space to educate ourselves and others about what neurodiversity is, elevate the experiences of the neurodivergent be a source of support for members and allies of this community and help move our culture towards valuing and including diverse neurological conditions because systems cannot change until education and understanding take place. Listen, different people think differently, not just because of differences in where they were born or how they were raised, or the life experiences they have, but because their brains are wired to work differently. One in five people have some form of neuro divergence, which can include autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, Tourette Syndrome, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, a combination of many of those, and also conditions I haven't even named. This is a space where questions are welcomed and encouraged. An honoring individual experiences is the number one rule. This is not a space for cures or fixes because there is no fit next to somebody who's different. There's just understanding and acceptance. And I am certainly no expert and have lived my entire life with a neurotypical label. But I'm also a mom of an autistic daughter and a neurotypical son and I want to do the work to broaden my understanding of the infinite variations, the human brain can function. And I'd love for you to come along, it's time to enroll in Neuroversity.
Thank you to Jessica Kidwell, for sending in the trailer for Neuroversity. Tim, what are your immediate thoughts?
This is actually a subject that's really important to me. So I was super engaged. The trailer was set up very nicely with an intro, an easy call to action. And I loved how the music stopped at the end for a dramatic pause.
Yeah, I really liked it, too. I also learned something new, which is that the term neurodiversity was coined in 1998. I think I just thought that that term always existed.
I, I know, it wasn't until I really got podcasting in my space, you know, about 10 years ago that I realized that it had been around for that long.
So tell it what is your space time, we don't know this about you?
Ah, my space. I'm the founder of. I'm the founder of Think Inclusive, the official podcast of the Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education. I've been doing the podcast for about 10 years. I started when I was a teacher. And I get to interview really interesting people, kind of like what Jessica does, interview neurodivergent people and people interested in inclusion.
I'm sure we're going to learn more about each other, and the listeners will get a peek into our lives throughout this season and the show. We also had a chance to chat briefly with Jessica about the trailer and the show. Here's what she said when we asked her about her decision to share the origin of the term neurodiversity.
The biggest hurdle I face to getting Neuroversity into the ears it needs to be in is that so many people think neurodiversity doesn't apply to them. And yet, it's literally the most expansive and inclusive term on this planet other than I don't know the term human. It is a big giant umbrella that everyone falls under. But it's a fairly new term, and it has become a buzzword within the diversity and equity circles, which is great, but it can also turn people immediately off. So my hope for Neuroversity is to serve as a gathering place for people already curious about neurodiversity, because they want to learn more about their child or spouse, their loved one their friend, their co worker, or even themselves, but also that neurodiversity finds its way into the ears of people who didn't even know that they should be curious.
