Hannah Diviney is a writer, disability advocate, actress, screenwriter, author and media personality. Her disability advocacy has garnered global attention thanks to both a viral petition encouraging Disney to create a disabled Disney Princess and a successful campaign encouraging both Lizzo and Beyonce to change ableist lyrics. As if that wasn't enough, she also made television history as the first disabled person in Australia to do a sex scene on television in the SBS series, ‘Latecomers’ and she’s joining Em to talk about some of those things plus her feature film debut in the new dark comedy ‘Audrey’. Together they’ll discuss what it was like to see Marissa Bode as the first disabled actor to play the role of Nessarose in ‘Wicked’ and then interview her afterwards as well. We’ll also talk about what it's like to be in her first feature film, how she secured the role and even how the script was changed to reflect her abilities as well. Hannah is utterly hilarious as well and they both connect over their shared love of awkward conversations and Em’s belief that Hannah needs to get her sit down comedy career underway as well. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael review their Glicked weekend seeing Gladiator 2 and Wicked and give their final reviews. Sign up to listen for $1.73 a week, or watch it for under $3 a week at emsolation.supercast.com and don’t forget you can watch highlights from this episode in full maximalist colour on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@emsolationpodcast
