This Australian comedian and actress is on the pursuit to change the landscape of the Australian TV Industry and it's inclusion of creators with disability. But how do you break into an industry when you're considered a "distraction"?

"I realised that if I want to be a part of change I also need to be creating content".

Born with Ectrodactyly, Loz describes her lim difference as "Three fingers on my right hand and kind of four and a half, let's call it four and a half fingers on the other hand".

But after finding out that Etrodactyly is genetic after her son received the same diagnosis, Loz has kicked into gear putting everything she can into changing what normal looks like on Australian screens.

"I've been in really hot cars where like if a person could get out, they would. It's sometimes a dangerous situation".

With only 5 minutes notice, any time, any place - Tayla Richardson could be trapped in her own body and there's no way to stop it."

After developing her disability in adulthood, Tayla was diagnosed with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome, leaving her muscles to be weaker after they're used, sometimes resulting her to enter periodic paralysis for 2-3 hours at a time.

Having a "Dynamic Disability", Tayla speaks about what it means to have her disability, finding her voice in the arts and advocacy space, as well as gives us a deep dive into the round the clock planning and exhaustion when it comes to leaving the house.

There's complexity to Knox Gibson's story.

At age 3, his grandfather ran over Knox on the family property with his lawn mower, causing the amputation of his arm. Had that accident not occurred, would Knox now be spending months overseas filming for The Hunger Games? Would he be trailing for his first ever Paralympics, hopeful for a ticket to Paris? 

Actor, Athlete, Endorsements and still in school!

BUT 

What would life have looked like had the accident never happened? 

Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin are back in the hosting chairs this time curious as to how level headed and mature this young man is for only 17 years old. We also love it when a guest has to go and get their prosthetic off the charger, shout outs to you Barney.

“I’ve always been talking about my disability through the lens of fashion”

With over 120k followers on social media, April Lockhart's limb difference has now become her "greatest accessory"  as she educates the public about her disability.

April's ability to tell stories through her outfits on social media is one of passion and authenticity as she chats to ListenABLE on how fashion comes first over function every single time.

In addition, April shares her "mixed relationship with Fashion Week," discussing how she and other disabled people created an inclusive project in the New York Fashion Space, an event where it is already very easy to feel excluded whether or not one has a disability.
