Oh that Friday feeling.

On last week’s Mixed Bag Monday, Part One, we made pleas and climbed sand piles.

This week, in Part Two, we on Outlook discuss what we learn from attending an annual general meeting (or AGM) for Radio Western/reach out to new student listeners, sharing on The Rumpus and the process, and revelations around Strange Gods and sensitivity reading,

It’s the wild west of sensitivity reading and, yet, of social media, but social media does serve some good when perspectives are shared with one another.

And many many things come back to politics. With the next federal Canadian election on the horizon, on this episode we finish off with a story of the perilous floating bus stop/bike lanes/city design that’s recklessly spreading (all the way from the city of Victoria on the west coast to London, Ontario) and the power of social media to explain where the problem lies. It feels as though politicians ignore people with disabilities and we need to make them aware that we are here.

Strange days and strange Gods. From Monday to Friday and back again.

A huge congratulations to co-host Kerry for the work she did conducting an interview with M. Leona Godin on the book "There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness". Check out “Fighting the Weightiness of Metaphors” on the online literary journal The Rumpus at the link below:
