Distraction Podcast with Dr. Edward Hallowell Achieves One Millionth Download

HAMDEN, CT — CRN International’s Collisions podcast operation has announced that its show Distraction has surpassed its one millionth download to date. The milestone is a landmark achievement for the show, which has seen continued, steady growth month after month since its launch in 2016.

The podcast tackles living with ADHD, improving overall mental health, and keeping up with the often-overwhelming demands of today’s crazy-busy world. The show frequently ranks among the top podcasts in the self-help genre in the Apple Podcasts charts and attracts a diverse audience, whether it's those struggling with difficult mental health issues or simply looking to improve time management skills.

Hosted by renowned ADHD expert and bestselling author Dr. Edward Hallowell, the podcast’s powerful and consistent message encourages people to limit their technological and workplace distractions in favor of finding and reconnecting with each other.

“I am so humbled and pleased hearing the news that we passed one million downloads,” said Dr. Hallowell in a statement. “This podcast has been a tremendous journey and I look forward to growing even more to unite us all in conquering the challenges of today’s modern world through the power of connection.”

To celebrate the achievement, the Collisions team has organized a sweepstakes on the show’s Facebook account. Three winners will receive a signed pre-release copy of Dr. Hallowell’s upcoming memoir, Because I Come From a Crazy Family: The Making of a Psychiatrist. In addition, one grand-prize winner will receive a free 30-minute phone consultation with Dr. Hallowell. “This serves as a profound thank you to the loyal community that has helped Distraction not only succeed, but flourish,” said the podcast’s social media manager, George Tinari.

“We are super excited to reach this milestone,” said Sarah Guertin, the show’s producer. “We love that Distraction is helping so many people. Passing one million downloads validates our strong belief that the show resonates with people from all walks of life.”
