Ableism. If Hannah Diviney asked you to define that word, would you know where to start?

She believes ableism is often the forgotten prejudice. The one so well absorbed into society's structures that many people don't even notice it's there.

We've been preaching its time to "get comfortable with the uncomfortable" and we hope this 'Bonusode' helps you to become more of an ally to the disability community.

Dean Clifford has defied the odds and overcome numerous challenges to become one of the world's best weightlifters.

Dean was born with epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic condition that causes his skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch. Despite this, Dean has managed to double his life expectancy and has become an inspiration to many and a wonder to the medical community. He talks about the challenges he has faced growing up with skin difference, including being unable to play many sports due to the fragility of his skin.

Dean's story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. He talks about his journey and how he has managed to achieve so much despite his condition.

Rushed to hospital as a child Barney Koneferenisi's parents were told doctors had to immediately amputate his limbs to save his life, not even having time to have an anaesthetist put him under. "I left the room fully intact and when I came back I literally only had a stump and a couple of fingers".

After 100 different surgeries and a decade of being in and out of hospital he sat down with Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin to talk about life as a Pacific Island disabled person and the cultural implications of being made to feel a "burden or a curse" to his family, the hilarious call he received to become a Tokyo Paralympian and how being left on the side of the road was the inspiration behind his new Start Up 'Safe Rides'.

"Ironically by pretending to be someone else I was able to feel more like myself"

Chloe Hayden is what happens when talent meets accessibility. The star of the #1 Netflix programme in the world, "Heartbreak High," portraying Quinni, a neurodiverse character, shone both in her representation and support of performers with disabilities portraying those with disabilities. She explains being her own worst enemy, growing up an outcast of a society not willing to accept a young person who didn't fit it's tiny box and being mobbed in the streets.

In this episode we talk:

• Growing up in a small community without disability representation
• Chloe's world after her diagnosis of Autism and ADHD
• Being 'Selectively Mute'
• Acting and Heartbreak High (obvs)
• Accessibility on TV & Movie sets
• Finding love online and planning her wedding
• Why she HATES fancy food
