Cripcast

I am no longer doing a podcast but you can listen to previous shows here.

I just bitch and moan.

This is a longer show since I played about five songs from Jessy Moss. She saw that I had played some music on the podcast so decided to send me two of her CDs; Down At The Disco and Fast & Cheap. I did not play them back-to-back but throughout the show. I played Beat To A Pulp and Old Glory both from Down At The Disco. I also played Wishbitch, NYC and Bitten Off all from Fast & Cheap. I got these songs from the Podsafe Music Network so there is permission to play these on the podcast.Here are the links to her web page and her myspace page.http://jessymoss.com/http://www.myspace.com/jessymosscomI talked about a post on the Disability Nation Blog about killing disabled babies. You can find this Blog post and others at the following link.http://disabilitynation.net/blog/I briefly spoke about the election results and about my night out on Saturday. I then talked about getting rid of one of my nurses due to sleeping. I also talked about some changes with my ventilator settings (contain your enthusiasm). I then talked about two movies I saw from the Spiritual Cinema Circle. Emmanuel's Gift and Speechless. These were both from 2006 - Volume 6. You can get more information about the Spiritual Cinema Circle at the following link.http://secure.spiritualcinemacircle.com//Public/Welcome/index.cfm

It has been quite a while since I have done a show but am now able to devote more energy to this. I just tell you a little bit about why I have been silent for several weeks and discuss a few of my future plans for this show. And I played a song by Rachel Kann called I Know This.A good community for the disabled called DisabledUnitedRachel Kann's Website

I start the show by telling you what I have been up to the previous week. I describe my visit to Downtown at the Gardens, Johnny Rockets, and Cobb Theater. I then bitch a little bit about the fact that the Paralympics is not going to be televised in the U.S.. I then give you a few links regarding the Paralympics and the U.S. team and a Web site where you can watch some coverage of the Paralympics on the Internet. I ask for some feedback and play some music. All I Really Wanted by Jim Fidler and Really Really Happy by The Muffs. At some point during the podcast I talked about the fact that Murderball is being played by A&E in the month of March. They originally aired it on Tuesday February 28 at 10 PM Eastern time. They will air it again on Wednesday March 1 at 2 AM and then again on Sunday March 12 at 12 PM.Websites mentioned in the Podcast:International Paralympic Committee (IPC)ParalympicSport.TV (player to watch Paralympics coverage over the Internet)The Official Site of the U.S. Paralympic TeamPassion Lives Here (another Web site for the Paralympics with information on what events are when put it has very small print)A&E web site about Murderball with the times it is being shown

In this show I discuss how the disabled are portrayed in movies and TV. I specifically talked about ER and Blind Justice from television and on the movies side I discuss Million Dollar Baby, The Waterdance, and Rory O'Shea Was Here. For more information on these movies and TV programs I recommend looking them up on the Internet movie database at www.imdb.comI also play two songs from Jim Fidler who is a Canadian musician who is also blind. I played Trampled and Mr. Ambassador. You can get more information on Jim Fidler by visiting his Web site at www.jimfidler.com

I am finally posting the first episode of the Cripcast. The sound on this one is a bit rough since I was having trouble with my throat being scratchy. In this podcast I simply tell you a little bit about my disability and how it progressed throughout my life. I am including a link here with some information on my disease from the MDA web site. I hope you enjoy and if not I hope you will stick around long enough to get to know me and then decide if you like this podcast or not. Until next time.http://www.mdausa.org/disease/dmd.cfm -- information on my disease from the MDA web site
