That Sinking Feeling

By: Elizabeth Rynecki and Tony Kaplan
  • Summary

  • Adventures in ADHD and ship salvage. A multi-generational story about a son’s ADHD, a grandfather’s ship salvage career, and a mother’s struggle to understand the challenges of each. Every episode contains one ship salvage job and explores the life lessons gleaned from those tales. The salvage jobs, as improbable as it may seem, became metaphors for understanding her son’s ADHD. Host Elizabeth Rynecki delves into this unlikely intersection over 6 episodes, talking to her son, her father and people whose lives have been touched by ADHD. https://www.elizabethrynecki.com/that-sinking-feeling/

  • Episode 1: Fiery Wreck
    Jan 13 2025

    The Sea Witch, departing from Staten Island, crashed into an oil tanker and exploded. Later she was towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. And then fell over in drydock. Host Elizabeth Rynecki's dad custom designed a multicell buoyancy assist module (kind of like a giant pool floaty) to refloat her. Elizabeth wishes she too could design a metaphorical module to help Owen navigate life with ADHD.

    This episode introduces listeners to her son, Owen, and her father, the ship salvage engineer.
