What the Ef?! is the podcast that says out loud what everyone else with epilepsy is thinking: WTF is happening right now?! Hosted by Landis Wiedner, this show unpacks the unfiltered, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking realities of life with epilepsy. Each week, Landis brings together neurologists, advocates, celebrities, caregivers, and everyday people to share raw stories, expert insights, and those “you-can’t-make-this-up” epilepsy moments no one talks about—but everyone should.


It’s equal parts education, community, and comic relief. Whether you’re living with seizures, supporting someone who is, or just curious to learn more, this show creates an approachable, stigma-busting space where laughter and real talk fuel change.

    Seizures Every Day, Every Night with Mia Randell
    Mar 3 2026

    Five years of memories: gone. Landis sits down with Mia, who lost most of high school to undiagnosed epilepsy—and no, the memories don’t come back if you show her photos (people keep trying). She still has seizures every day and every night—and yes, she’s still doing life anyway. Mia shares her vibrant approach to life when memory, sleep, and certainty are a luxury.

    Are you a late-night scroller who swears it “helps you relax”? Yeah… this episode is for you.

    Tune in for realistic tools that can help protect your sleep — and your seizure threshold — without turning into a monk or throwing your phone across the room.

  • Being a Teacher With Epilepsy with Charlie Dishman

    Being a Teacher With Epilepsy with Charlie Dishman
    Feb 17 2026

    Teaching high school is hard. Teaching high school with epilepsy? Next level. Charlie joins Landis to talk about navigating the classroom with epilepsy — including student teaching, when seizures required using a wheelchair.


    They share what it’s taken to advocate for safety at work, why being friends with the school nurse is basically a survival skill, and why explaining epilepsy to new students every year feels a lot like coming out: vulnerable, emotional, and rooted in the hope of being accepted.


    Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t the seizures — it’s explaining them, repeatedly, forever.
