Leo Finelli (Author & Podcast Host)

On today's episode of Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, we're joined by neurodivergent children's author and podcast host Leo Finelli!

Leo reflects on growing up in the 2000s and navigating life on the autism spectrum, sharing how his experiences shaped his journey into autism advocacy and children's media creation. We discuss his books Seven Slices of Life, The Nutcracker's World, and his newest release, Ryann Lazuli Goes Offline, and how he began hosting his own podcast, Generation Change, where he interviews Gen Z changemakers speaking out on the issues they care about.
