I only heard recently that July was Disability Pride Month.  Steve Ray and I talk this week with Ed Tobias, a man with multiple sclerosis who wrote an article about why we don't really need a pride month.

My friend Brian Brately has spina bifida like I do, and he got engaged recently.  This week I get to talk to him and his future wife Ellen Cinadr, about what she's learned being in a 2 year relationship with Brian.

My friend Ashleigh got married recently.  Now she wants to adopt a baby.  This week we talk a lot about why she'd rather do that than try to have her own, and why she wants it to happen right after getting married.

Many teachers (and parents) have been on this show, explaining what's wrong with the educational system for disabled students.  My friend Emily Hayes talks this week about what can be done to set it right.

Bryan Johnson is a friend of mine who like me, has spina bifida.  He's also a recovering alcoholic.  He was gracious enough to tell me a little bit of his story as it relates to what drinking has cost him, and how he's trying to get some of it back.

Had to do an episode sort of on the fly this week.  So Greg and I pulled out our bag of tricks and decided to do a show on euphemisms, mostly ones we don't like and why you shouldn't use them, unless in some cases you're part of the disabled community.

I met Nikki Guthrie while promoting the podcast.  She's the mother of a boy with an extra Y chromosome.  She talks a lot about what that means, including misconceptions about his condition, and why she decided to keep him homeschooled even after schools reopened.

In 1992, Cordell Jeter was a Paralympian in track.  Shortly thereafter, he became my first wheelchair basketball coach.  Now, he's trying to give disabled people access to things they haven't experienced in a long time, if ever.  Hear about it all on this week's episode.

I got a message from Nate Schrader's mom, describing him as a filmmaker with cerebral palsy and epilepsy.  We talked about which disability affects him more, but also how his disability indirectly caused him to make a transition from theater to filmmaking.
