WE'RE BACK with episode number 5. We talk @SelmaBlair and her #multiplesclerosis, the problem with #orkambi and ACCESSIBILITY.

Dr @katherine_deane from @uniofeastanglia talks us through accessibility and its incredible potential. https://t.co/tWttwNxOs6

I have a podcast with a guest host recorded, but with my new job I haven’t had a chance to sit and edit it. When I do, I hope to release that at some point.
But for everyone that’s been so lovely about this podcast, we are so grateful.

Hey!
So, if it hasn’t been obvious, we are on an indefinite hiatus at the moment. Unfortunately, when you run a podcast on disability, chances are your health can deteriorate.
We have decided to prioritise our health for now, but might revisit the podcast in the future.

Bizarre question for people with physical disabilities: is there something you have always wanted to do, no matter how bizarre or outrageous or unlikely it is, that your disability has refrained you from doing?

‘This damning insight into the state’s callous treatment of disabled people calls for a new "solidarity politics",’ — @YvonneARoberts on @DrFrancesRyan's book #Crippled. https://t.co/o90e69WwV9

@abqluna58 @DisVisibility Ahh I think that's a really positive thing and I'm really proud of you! If you're still interested, can you DM me? I've decided to go with a different format so I can send you the details on that. Thank you so much for your reply!

[The Diss(ability) Track @DissabilityT]

Hey! I'd really love to do an lgbt/disability episode for pride month! I was wondering if there'd be people that would be interested in doing an interview with me about being LGBT+ and disabled! Feel free to reply/DM if you're interested

@worriedpup hey I am SO sorry about the delay in reply! If you're still interested, would you be able to DM me so I can send you the details? I'd really love to hear about your story!

[The Diss(ability) Track @DissabilityT]

@Phoenix24Femme @DisVisibility hey i am so sorry for the delayed reply! If you're still interested, would you mind shooting me a DM so I can send you the details?

[The Diss(ability) Track @DissabilityT]

Hey! Thank you so much for the great response regarding the pride month episode! I’m going to work out how I’d like to go about it this week, then I’ll reply to you all once I’ve figured it out! It’s so nice to see so many people respond!
- Steph

[The Diss(ability) Track @DissabilityT]

Hey guys we are sorry there was no episode for April! Unfortunately, real life has been pretty stressful for the both of us and we have been unable to record. But we have so much planned that we can’t wait to share with you! Hope you’re all doing well 💞

I just realised this sounds like the straight person version of “I saw lions at the zoo but would love to see them in the wild!” When actually it came from me: your local mentally ill Gay

Absolutely adoring Netflix’s Special at the moment! It’s so refreshing to see disability AND LGBT+ rep in a tv show. The idea that you can only have one minority at a time winds me up, and it’s so nice to see that beginning to change.

[The Diss(ability) Track @DissabilityT]

If you’re LGBT+ and also have a disability/long term health condition, I’d really love to hear about your own experiences with how one affects the other. I want to do this for the media part & would love the interview to be the experiences of a variety of people!

Why disabled people can make GREAT students....

Hear more in episode five.

Disabled friends, how do you get around in London? I often forgo my walking stick due to all the stairs. Paying for it today with swelling in my legs, won't be walking today! Advice much appreciated :)
