On this Valentine themed episode Juan is our love expert. We talk about how visually orientated society is, when is it best to reveal that you are disabled when playing the dating game and that the guide dog’s a ‘chick magnet,’ never the owner. Warning! There’s a little bit of porn talk, we tried to keep it as clean as we can. Click now to hear our more than interesting conversation and prepare for the tone shifts.

In the supposed month of love. Kicking off a valentine themed episode I’m rejoined by Legeon, where we discuss our experiences when it comes to dating as blind men.

The lovely Lloyd is my guest this week where we chat about him becoming severely sight impaired at 20 and then enrolling in the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC) later the same year in less than six months. He went from driving and working on building sites to not knowing what was next and what his identity was anymore. How did he deal with not being able to play football anymore? What did he find most helpful when it came to accepting his disability? Why did he finally decide to get a guide dog? These are answered along with many more.

Episode 42 won’t be the answer to the universe, but maybe we can answer any questions on discrimination against the disabled. I’m once again joined by Erin, Ieuan and Lewis, as we discuss our own experiences of discrimination, how those moments make you feel and having people pray for us. We have time to complain about taxis, train stations and bad assistance, also we talk about the importance of being able to laugh at yourself, you also find out if any of us have Daredevil senses.
