‘You’ve been ablesplained!’
If you have problems with your bones, have you thought about drinking more milk? Rude and often silly questions can be an annoying part of everyday disabled life, but did you know this microaggression actually has a name? It’s called ‘ablesplaining’ and Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey have a lot to say about the annoying younger brother of mansplaining.
Was your last medical appointment serene and relaxed or did you feel against the clock? A new survey of 1058 NHS frontline workers has revealed they feel the heat too with 71% saying they don’t have enough time to tend to their patients as they would like. Dr Georgie and Dan Scorer, from Mencap, offer up thoughts and solutions.
And Elle McNicoll, the bestselling author behind A Kind Of Spark visits the studio to chat about writing, her amazing neurodiverse cast for the TV series and why office politics were so confusing in her early 20s (just a few short years ago).
Produced by: Beth Rose, Keiligh Baker, Rebecca Grisedale-Sherry, Emma Tracey
Research by: Efe Imoyin-Omene
Recorded and mixed by: Dave O’Neill
Edited by: Jonathan Aspinwall
