    Ivy Insights

    The Disability After Dark podcast is a much-needed and appreciated contribution to our society. As a fellow disabled person, I feel that this podcast addresses topics that are often overlooked and not talked about enough. Andrew Gurza, the host of the show, deserves praise for his efforts in shedding light on disability and sparking important conversations. What sets this podcast apart is Andrew's hilarious and intelligent personality, making it an enjoyable and informative listening experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Disability After Dark podcast is its ability to self-reflect and expand one's worldview. Through thought-provoking discussions, Andrew encourages listeners to examine their own ableism and deepen their understanding of the disability community. The diverse range of topics covered in each episode ensures that there is something for everyone, regardless of their physical abilities. Additionally, Andrew's interview style is commendable as he brings out the best in his guests by asking difficult questions with compassion.

    On the other hand, it should be noted that some listeners have expressed disappointment with certain guest choices. While most guests provide valuable insights and perspectives on disability, there have been instances where some felt that individuals with questionable motives were featured on the show. However, it is important to remember that diversity among guests can lead to differing opinions and experiences, ultimately contributing to a well-rounded conversation.

    In conclusion, The Disability After Dark podcast stands as an invaluable resource for understanding disability while addressing topics related to sex and relationships with honesty and humor. Andrew Gurza's dedication shines through in every episode as he navigates challenging subjects with grace. Whether you are disabled or not, this podcast offers a unique opportunity for education and connection within the disability community.

I was having trouble with the audio for this week's original episode, so I decided to re-release my chat with the disabled theatre maker and dramaturg on ACCESS ME, and my dear friend, Debbie Patterson.

    Episode Notes In E355, we have another installment of Popcorn and Power Chairs.  In this one, I wanted to review The Brendan Fraser led Drama/Horror (horror according to Google) The Whale.  I had a lot of feelings about how fatness and disability were portrayed in this one, and I often found the ableism overwhelming alongside the fatphobia.  Why didn't they just hire a fat person?  Or a disabled person? And other questions… like who was it made for?  I don't know if this was the way we should have welcomed Brendan Fraser back.  What did you think?
