For our one year podcast special I had on Tyler Mazone (Deaf), Samantha Nahra (Dyslexia), and Peter Oselador (Autistic) to discuss these topics: --> The Pandemic and its affects on accessibility, education and representation --> The #SayTheWord movement and functioning labels for Disabled folk --> Autism Speaks (AKA Speaks Autism or A$) and their partnership with google trying to " cure " Autism This will have multiple parts and other guests so please stay tuned! ** Happy one year to podcasting. It is beyond words hard for me I have been doing this podcast for a year. I started this podcast with a vision; to bring representation to the Disabled community within the music scene because we are by far one of the most under represented and mostly forgotten community. Before I started this podcast, many folk didnt know what ableism even was or what it looked like. To many more years of representation from our lenses. Dont speak for us, we can speak for ourselves. Thank you to all of my wonderful viewers and everyone who took the time to support this podcast. To many years to come. ** As always, my podcast is available on on Anchor and Spotify.

About Courtney: " Courtney Conkling is a flutist, music educator, and mental health advocate from Massapequa, NY. Born a triplet in a family of four, she was encouraged to pursue creative endeavours of all types from a young age: while piano lessons in first grade weren’t her cup of tea, flute and beginning band at Birch Lane Elementary stuck and bloomed into a fantastic musical career, with youth orchestras, principal chairs, solos, and All-Area titles galore. While she made the most of the opportunities available to her at SUNY Potsdam and loved studying with Kenneth B Andrews at the Crane School of Music as a young adult, underneath all her success she was struggling with her mental health. When Mr. Andrews suddenly retired, she chose to transfer to Vanderbilt University and study flute with Molly Barth as she pursued a music education degree. Nashville also brought her a new Bipolar I diagnosis and her first psychiatric hospitalizations. After two medical leaves and the ever-evolving COVID crisis, Courtney is about to start studying with Brandon Patrick George at Hofstra University where she hopes to receive her music education degree and expand her musical and educational capabilities as she continues to prioritize her mental health."

He enjoys all things creative, from music, to art, to videography, to web design. He has played the bass guitar for over half his life, around 17 years now. He also dabbles in electric guitar, but never singing. Just a few years ago he realized he has a unique experience with music and sound, called Synesthesia (more specifically Chromesthesia). This means when hearing music he unintentionally sees colors and shapes in his mind. Chromesthesia is something only 4% of the world's population has and it is definitely seen as a blessing to Matt. Recently, he started painting what songs LOOK like, and hopes to share the images of songs with others. " Check out his social medias to check out his art!

    Episode 1.17: Ableism in Pop Culture - SIA and ' Music '

    Breaking The Third Wall Through Music's Mission statement: The mission of Breaking The Third Wall Through Music is to break the barriers between ableism and music, by bringing a wide range of musicians, regardless of disability, instrument, background, and field of interested across all genres to chat. We also aim to discuss ableism in all forms in the music scene. This week I had two guests, Tyler Mazone and Ethan Atterson on to discuss a very controversial topic amongst the disabled community, specifically the Autistic Community, Recently, musician SIA has released a movie called Music; that portrays a young autistic women. Through this film, individuals with Autism are not portrayed correctly, but this is not the only issue with the film. SIA had a neurotypical perform the role. When asked about this, stated " There is no way I could have used someone (with a less) level of functioning to play (the part)", directly referring to neuro-divergent folk. In other words, she believes neuro-divergent folk are incapable of dancing, singing and more. When even clearly shown by this podcast, we are just as capable. These tropes are common in the music scene, especially modern pop scene. Today's podcast will be focusing on this topic since it is new and still ongoing. We hope to help others understand why this is not correct, what ableist/offensive language is, and create conversation about it in our culture in all realms.
