Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

The Lost Boy


Listen Later

This week, Noah Matthews Matofsky, reportedly the first actor with Down's syndrome to land a major role in a Disney movie, takes time out to speak with Nikki and Emma about his time on the set of Peter Pan and Wendy. He reveals what Captain Hook (Jude Law) got up to between takes and how he kept up with his schooling while on location in Canada.

With Eurovision just moments away (that could be the name of our entry for 2024, right?), we look at the always diverse contest to see which disability inclusive acts you should look out for this weekend.
And, a real eye-opener, we find out what your local council wants you to prove before you are considered disabled and homeless … clue, getting a blue badge seems candy-stealingly simple in comparison. We hear from Dr Beth Stone from the centre of Disability Studies at the University of Bristol, she's one of the authors of a new report on the situation, and Charlston a disabled man who has twice been homeless.
PRESENTERS: Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey
RECORDED AND MIXED BY: Dave O'Neill
