In episode 227, I sit down with child actor, musician, life coach and fellow podcaster Brian Falduto as we give him a chance to explore questions he has a gay, cis, able-bodied, queer white man around disability. We examine how we can connect disability and mindfulness, why you should look at a disabled person on the street, how Brian feels gratitude for not being disabled (and all the feelings around that!) and a whole lot more. I love doing episodes like this one, and giving non-disabled people space to explore these feelings! Enjoy!

In episode 226, I talk with the Production Assistant of  the Gayish Podcast and newly identified disabled person, and hottie, Dan Garlington.  He comes out as disabled for the first time on the show and we talk about his triumvirate of disabilities; hard of hearing, migraines and chronic pain.  We explore how all these things impact his day to day life, his queerness and sexuality and even his work on Gayish, plus so much more!   This was one of my most fave eps, and I am so honoured to give Dan a welcome to the community! Follow Dan’s work at  dangarlington.com  Apply now to be on Disability After Dark by e-mailing [email protected]

In Episode 225, I re-invigorate the reviewing of disabled films and rename it Great Flix & Joysticks.   On the episode today, I review Hulu’s offering, a movie called “Run”, highlighting a disabled teen and her overbearing and scary mother.  In this movie we see a real life disabled person in the role as a disabled person.  We explore how disability is used in this film to create an important representation in the horror / thriller genre.  We stan queens Sarah Paulson and actual disabled newcomer Kiera Allen.  This film is a game changer and can be accessed on HULU in the US.  

Let me know what film to do next on Great Flix and Joysticks, & Apply now to be on Disability After Dark by e-mailing [email protected]

“It was interdependent magic. Like it really felt like magic.”

Happy solstice! They’re the four best friends anyone could have. On the last Crip Times episode of 2020, all three hosts (Kayla, Kristina, Yousef) are joined by Jess Watkin, an artist, activist, academic, dramaturg, and most importantly, friend of the pod. 

We spend some time laughing about how we all became friends through our various crip encounters, access intimacy, and what Jess’ work as an artist and disability dramaturg actually entails. Jess speaks about her upcoming projects, and the legacies of interdependence that brought her to the place she is today. This episode ends with Jess’ dreams for the future of performance, with suggestions we could all bring into our 2021 plans. We’ll be back with new episodes of Crip Times on January 11 until then, thank you for allowing us to share these episodes with you, they really feel like magic.

In Episode 221, I sit down with three people in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada who share with us the dismal disability housing options in Halifax forcing disabled people to live in seniors homes or institutions.  April tells us about how she was also put in an institution after having a routine procedure in hospital, and how she feels less than human.  Vicky talks about her experiences living in an institution since she was 21, and Andrew highlights his struggles with inaccessible housing and how it impacts him every single day.   Each story from April, Andrew and Vicky highlights how they feel trapped within a system that does not care about them.  I wanted to shine a huge light on this story today!
