Disability in music and theatre
The UK's Equality Act of 2010 guaranteed the rights of disabled people to equal access to education, employment, and services, including music, theatre and the arts. Despite this, it's still difficult for disabled musicians and music fans to perform and see live music. Neil and Georgie introduce you to some ways people are trying to change this, while teaching you some useful vocabulary. (Image: Getty)

Customer Reviews
Why are prices going up?
Hi, guys!
I really like your podcast, it helps me learn English and something new every time!
But please don't say "war in Ukraine" - it's absolutely wrong and offensive. 🙏
An important truth:
"russian war in Ukraine" or "russian invasion of Ukraine"
We protect ourselves because we want peace and freedom! 🤍
Thank you from Ukrainians!) 🇺🇦
🇺🇦
You make a great content but I enjoyed it up to a point. You disappointed me with that the top global news is the inflation.
As a citizen of Ukraine, I consider that killing people at 21 century at their motherland is a crucial crime against the humanity.
I don’t see how can you avoid this fact! It is a russia who kills and bomb peaceful cities.
It is a number one global news that worth globe wide attention!
Great podcast
As I know BBC news don't use term “war in Ukraine” they use “the illegal invasion of Ukraine”, which is more respectful and correct.
The Ukranian are an example of courage in confronting aggression and this country is like a shield which is protected all Europe.
Thank you for your great podcasts!
