July 13, 2022 Have You Tried NOT Being Disabled?
From GI issues to ADHD to Generalized Anxiety Disorder to Autism, we unpack invisible disabilities. We talk about those who think invisible disabilities don't exist, and how they believe that people with these diagnoses are either "faking" or "exaggerating" their limitations.

July 06, 2022 Oh, No! We're Woke?! Talking Civil Rights
As a group, disabled people are taught to know our place, which makes us uncomfortable with our identities. In this episode, we draw similarities between the struggles of different Civil Rights Movements, talk about feeling disconnected from our own histories, and how we don't get to self-define our identities.

June 15, 2022 Is Ableism Even Real?
Let's put it this way: we're so used to ableism that, at least in Western society, people usually don't realize that it exists. So... what is it? Is ableism actually a problem? Are we exaggerating, or are we just living up to our snowflake reputation?

May 26, 2022 Pulled Over 7 Times In One Night With Anthony Giles
Here at the DIS/Ableist Network, we do our best to "give voice" to people who are usually silenced. Kyle, Luis, and Anthony unpack the messy relationship between racism and ableism. We often hear outsiders tout the phrase "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps," but don't often ask the follow-up- question: what does that actually mean for black disabled people?

May 18, 2022 Disabled And Ready To Cuddle With Coral
*We apologize for some audio issues in this episode*
If you want to learn too much about Kyle's life, this is probably the episode that you've been waiting for 😅 Touch is an extremely important part of being human, but is something that's often taken for granted. Coincidentally, it also isn't readily available to a number of disabled people. We host Coral to ask about professional cuddling, and why it's important to provide people with access to touch.
