Day in Washington- The Disability Policy Podcast explores and discusses various aspects of disability policy. Each episode will cover a specific issue within disability, and/or a disability-related news article. These 5-10 minute podcasts offer an easy to understand introduction to disability policy and resources for those interested in further study. You can find the text of each podcast in the comments.

Episode Summary:

Whew! Time has certainly passed since the last Day in Washington Podcast. My apologies, unfortunately, a death in the family followed by a work trip to Hawaii and having the Day in Washington website hacked all combined to take us temporarily off the air. Hopefully, we will soon be back on a regular schedule with some exciting new guests. This week is the promised podcast from the Disability Carnival blog post on Disability and Diversity.
