They say you shouldn't meet your heroes and for once it's Angus copping the praise from 19 year-old Seb Steel from South Australia who laced up his footy boots alongside Angus a few years ago.

Seb was involved in a forklift accident at his fathers business that saw him only 6 weeks before recording this interview decide to amputate his leg for a "better quality of life".

We love an episode that completely catches us unaware and Jude's story of becoming a Paraplegic in the Sri Lankan civil war was just that!

Talking about accessibility and cultural differences between Australia and his home country show's we truly do live in a 'lucky country' and his mindset towards living a healthy, active life is inspirational.

As you'll quickly learn from this episode Nick doesn't need anyone else to do his introductions so he wrote his own:

"I spent forty years of my life knowing something was different. I spent many times blaming myself, thinking it was ‘my fault’ or that I was doing something wrong. Getting that diagnosis had changed my life completely. It felt like a fog had finally been lifted. Everything from there on started to ‘make sense’.

I’m now at the age of 46 and I am still finding my feet as a newbie within the Autism community. I’m learning more and more about what it means to be Autistic and I feel extremely blessed that I can now utilise all of the fantastic supports out there for people living on the Spectrum."

From early days camouflaging his disability on the school grounds to his terror at being involved in a Fire Alarm test this episode is a joyous and educational look behind the eyes of an Autistic Person

I’m Elle. Business Success Coach, Paralympian & Intuitive Healer.

But Elle is so much more than that. A teacher, community builder, a business woman, a sister, a friend and an all around good human.

Did we also mention she's psychic?

Dylan and Angus agree to leave their bias at the door as the welcome Elle to the podcast and get a psychic intuitive reading each. Why did Dylan enjoy his results and Angus was left changing his diet?

This bonus episode, or "bonusode," has Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin discussing the article written by Amy Kenny for 'Daily Beast'.

"Tech companies are always coming up with what they believe to be brilliant innovations for the disability community without so much as consulting us. 

These are examples of what Liz Jackson, founding member of disability advocacy group The Disabled List, calls a “disability dongle: a well-intended elegant, yet useless solution to a problem we never knew we had.”

Do you think these shorter episodes in between our interview releases are a good idea?

Aaron King identifies as Able-Bodied however after his twins were born he started to realize differences in the progression of his daughter Aria. 4 years on he still admits to not knowing what to expect of a child with disability whether it be education, discipline, medical decisions they made on her behalf, sharing attention amongst his 3 kids equally or even her thoughts on him speaking on about her in this podcast.

Maybe in 14 years Aria might join us on the show to tell her side of the story.
