Life and Limb

We've reached the end of season 1 of the podcast! Listen to this quick message to find out about our plans for season 2. We'll see you soon!

We're back, and we brought some friends with us! Cat McAlpine and Chase McCants are two of our favorite people, and we invited them to ask us anything about our limb differences. The result was one of those special conversations that you know you'll always remember(even if it hadn't been recorded for a podcast). Also, Anna confesses a personal revelation that has us all shook.

While there's no new episode this week, we wanted to say hello and wish you all a happy Limb Loss & Limb Difference Awareness Month! We also share what we're working on for our next episode, which we're very excited about. See you guys on April 19th!

Welcome back, lovely listeners! On this episode, Anna and Kristin talk about their personal experiences as actors with limb differences. How have costumers reacted to putting a glove on Anna's hand? How did a writer incorporate Little Foot into a personalized character just for Kristin? Hear all about those stories and more!

Kristin and Anna sit down with Kim Weild for a powerful discussion on representation of artists with limb differences and disabilities on stage. Kim is a director, teacher, choreographer, dancer, and actor who has worked with The National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped and whose many production credits demonstrate a passion for the intentional inclusion of artists with disabilities. Join us for our conversation on Kim's work (including several exciting current projects!), why representation in theatre matters, and more!

Having a limb difference isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes you just want to complain, but it can be hard for people without limb differences to understand your frustrations. On this week's episode, Anna and Kristin share their gripes about having a limb difference in a lighthearted and cathartic conversation.

Welcome back and happy Monday! In this episode, Anna and Kristin explore the concept of self-image and how their limb differences have shaped the people they are & the way they see themselves. Fynn also makes a small cameo.

In this episode, Anna and Kristin discuss the first times they saw their limb differences reflected in the media, a few representation-centered controversies, and what they hope the future of representation looks like.

The promised episode is here! Anna & Kristin discuss navigating online dating, the etiquette of disclosure, and how their limb differences have (and have not!) factored into their romantic relationships.

As the year draws to a close, Anna and Kristin reflect on where the podcast has taken them so far, share some stories that they forgot in past episodes, and look ahead toward future goals for themselves & this project within the limb difference community. Happy holidays, lovelies!
