On this weeks' episode I talk about some genetic testing I had done recently to get a confirmation of the gene that is causing my eye condition. I talk about where things were at 20 years ago the first time I had this done. What the deal is now, how science has improved and what it means for me, my family and any children I hopefully have.

On this weeks' episode I discuss how Australia has increasingly been kicking people on the disability pension onto the job seeker allowance, even for those who can't work or who no one will employ. The fact that the agency overseeing disabled payments aren't always set up to communicate with disabled pensioners and when this leads to the hunting down, shaming and degradation of people in a system that claims it is there to help. Strap Yourself in, it's a heavy one!

On this weeks' episode I have tried to record myself while recording and editing to give an insight in how I do it without vision as it's a question I have been asked. Sadly my microphone could only record through one program and not both so bare with the sound. Hope it's interesting.

On this weeks' episode I answer a question I got regarding studying at Uni and all the rest. How I got my readings in a format I could read in enough time. the challenges of getting around a big campus when you aren't very confident mobility wise, and how you make friends and socialise with people when you only spend a very short space of time with them each week. Plus see if you can hear my dog snoring toward the end. Need to buy a worse microphone me thinks.

On this weeks' episode I talk about inspiration porn. When Gratitude or compliments go way too far when it's just people with disabilities living life. It should be particularly topical at the moment because of the Paralympics starting.

On this weeks' episode I briefly talk about the view points on disability. The basic premise is, is disability a thing to be viewed and fixed by medicine or is it socially constructed or enhanced by things we can change easier than medical breakthroughs.

On this weeks' episode I talk about when I first encountered audio books in the form of tape, it's advantages and it's problems, moving the whole way from CD to digital download and EBooks. Especially the lengths you go to in order to read a book that isn't out in an accessible format yet.
