    We Talk OCD and Live Performing

    We talk OCD and live performing with Steve Whyte. Steve Whyte thought he had it all figured out until he left the womb. He was Elf #2 in the Old Greenwich Elementary School production of Twas The Night Before Christmas. Later, lured by the prospect of big money, Steve joined the improv world, and can be seen performing with The Armando Diaz Experience on Saturdays at 7:30 at the Magnet Theater in Chelsea.

    We Talk Functional Neurological Disorder

    We talk Functional Neurological Disorder with Nieta Greene. Nieta Greene, a dedicated advocate for inclusivity and a sense of belonging, serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. She also serves as a member of the Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities. She has experienced various disabilities since childhood that influence her daily existence. Yet, she remains resilient and proud as a Disabled Puerto Rican, Black, gender non-conforming, gay woman who openly champions her identity. Nieta's work is rooted in core principles of disability justice, emphasizing intersectionality, community-led solutions, and political empowerment. Her steadfast confidence precludes the need for her to apologize for her authentic self, as she diligently advocates for those unable to voice their concerns. Her inspiring determination motivated her to establish Disability Community for Democracy, Inc., following the 2024 election cycle, recognizing the need to safeguard the rights of individuals within the disability community and to provide a platform for political engagement grounded in intersectional disability justice. Her leadership exemplifies a commitment to transforming systemic barriers into opportunities for collective liberation and equity.

    We Talk ME/CFS and Live Performing

    We Talk ME/CFS and live performing with Dan Fishback. Dan Fishback is a playwright and musician in NYC, with a two-decade body of work exploring the shadows of Jewish and queer life in the United States. His musical about Jewish socialists, The Material World, was called "the best downtown musical in years" by Time Out New York in 2012. From 2013 through 2020, Fishback ran The Helix Queer Performance Network--a series of programs designed to bring queer generations together and redress inequities in the world of queer arts and culture. In recent years, as Fishback has struggled with myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS), he has reoriented his artistic practice towards disability justice, with the rock musical Dan Fishback is Alive, Unwell & Living in His Apartment, which was commissioned by Joe's Pub at the Public Theater in 2024. Fishback is a member of Jewish Voice for Peace, and sits on the Joe's Pub Council. Follow Dan @dangerfishback on Instagram Show transcript bit.ly/3UKUymI
