All things Disability.  Many things not.  Join us to learn, to vent, to network, to find out about cool people doing cool advocacy work, and a whole lot of other stuff.  We laugh, curse, cry and generally carry on about the policies, procedures, and people standing in our way.  But mostly we celebrate all the joy and love and beauty that is found in this amazing community, and share all of that with you.  So jump in.  Join the journey to better access and inclusion. We are just starting out on this fabulous trip and you are welcome to share the ride.   Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    E14 Isaac Harvey MBE (Doing What It Takes To Get Sworded)

    Don't let the laughter fool you. We are serious about bringing on Isaac Harvey MBE as a part of the Disability Tangent team! We may break down in tears from the joy we are experiencing in this conversation, but we also discuss the many adventures of Isaac, including his work as a content creator and video editor, his recent trip from Brighton to Paris with Wheels and Wheelchairs, and his upcoming plans for the LA Paralympics, which are admittedly not fully formed. But there's still time to create a plan for 2028. We have confidence he will be there and we will all be laughing in sunny California together. It is a lighthearted conversation, but Isaac is a force in the disability advocacy space, and we are thrilled to be chatting with him about so much on this episode! We dare you to watch it without cracking a smile. Let us know if you can. We will be amazed at your stoicism!

    E12 Fixing or Finding Authenticity in Disability (You Don't Want to Sound Like Hillary Clinton)

    Another Tangent hits the airwaves and this time Rocco and Christy are talking about "Fixing". What is it? What does it mean in the context of disability? How do we keep from making disabled people feel wrong, or broken? And what helps us find authentic, empowering community? Jump in to this topic with us as we stumble upon some wisdom--and a little chaos, and a little laughter, and a little weirdness. We look at some models of disability, some ways to address access needs, and some personal stories that tie in to it all.

    The second half of a fantastic conversation with Suzannah Weiss! We jump back in to chatting about neurodiversity and dating, relationships and sex. There is so much good content, and some hard content so trigger warnings, y'all. How to break out of societal boundaries, do we forgive people who have violated our boundaries, and what do we do when people don't seem to respect that we can't meet the expectations society sets for us. Lots of wisdom. Lots of laughs. Lots of concerns about when we will break for lunch. It is all in this episode! Grab a slice, and give it a listen! (Seriously, you'll be hungry by the end.

    E10 Sex on the Spectrum with Suzannah Weiss (This is Now a Therapy Session)

    Suzannah Weiss, author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject joins us to talk about her book and so. much. more. In fact, we had so much to talk about that we are continuing the conversation in the next episode. We discuss some challenging topics, so a warning to those who might want to steer clear of this one or seek out supports, or listen with friends. Sex and neurodivergence start us off but that leads to stories and statistics of sexual coercion, assaults, and how we can begin to shape our own behaviors to stay safer and state needs. There is a lot to unpack about how disability diagnosis can lead to damaging situations. But we also have a lot of quirky fun as we dive into this subject matter! Christy loses her train of thought. Rocco takes us on a tangent. And Suzannah asks some really good questions of our hosts, turning the tangent tables on us! So get ready for a great time with the person we may just make our resident sexologist, and move her on into the studio (aka Christy's guest room) because we are smitten. (Christy is. Christy is smitten. Rocco is happily married, y'all.)

    E9 Stacey Hamm on Hidden Disabilities at Will Rogers World Airport (Rocco Arrives Precisely When He Means To)

    Accessibility at Will Rogers World Airport has seen some major changes in recent years and Stacey Hamm is here to tell us all about it! We chat about the Oklahoma City airports commitment to getting disability access right and how they are working toward this with the Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard Program and so much more. We also discover that Rocco is a wizard (as if you didn't know) and that Christy can loudly ramble on about unrelated tangential topics (as if you didn't know)! There is a lot to cover and Stacey is surprisingly good and answering questions that we have not yet even asked! So we cover it quickly!

About

All things Disability.  Many things not.  Join us to learn, to vent, to network, to find out about cool people doing cool advocacy work, and a whole lot of other stuff.  We laugh, curse, cry and generally carry on about the policies, procedures, and people standing in our way.  But mostly we celebrate all the joy and love and beauty that is found in this amazing community, and share all of that with you.  So jump in.  Join the journey to better access and inclusion. We are just starting out on this fabulous trip and you are welcome to share the ride.   Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
