Yes, yes it's true... thank you to all who signed the 'Save the Ouch! Podcast' petition.
I delivered it today to Mark Thompson, director general of the BBC and he was 'expecting' the petition. He said to thank everyone for the support of the podcast and there was no way that they were going to get rid of it.
Oh, how they've changed their tune! Did warn them about the petition last week and know they were getting anxious... Apparently they thought a bunch of us crips were going to storm the meeting and throw flour bombs at the DG.
*snigger* Ehhh no... and no need!
People power can work... Thank you! Your support and comments much appreciated and really endorse what we're doing...
Keep listening and keep supporting us at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/podcast

hooraayyy.
anyone out there who hasn't listened to (or read the transcripts of) the first 7 Ouch podcasts, do it!
anyone think we'll ever have a cross-disability, snarky, nation-wide crip blog like this in the US? i guess it helps that Ouch is sponsored by the BBC, which, as it turns out, owns alllll of the broadcast tv and radio stations - and they're quality ones. this lends a certain credibility. would, say, PBS sponsor this kind of thing? if a major american broadcast network or cable channel sponsored it, how could we be anything but exoticized, a la "extreme makeover, home edition" wherein the show's hosts sob and sob as they tell how inspiring the poor, black, and/or disabled people they're helping are. bleeaggghh.
so, if we had our own ouch podcast here in the states, what would it be like? who would sponsor and host it? i have a feeling it would be a regional thing rather than a national thing. perhaps from berkeley, where crip culture has been entrenched over the years. i dunno, what do the rest of you think?
There *are* some good US-based cross-disability podcasts--"Disability Nation" is good, well-made, interesting discussions and interviews--but you're right, nothing with the bite and snark that Ouch! does. And your suspicion is also correct about regional/local origins of shows--for example, one can listen to KPFK's weekly disability rights show, "Access Unlimited," online (not exactly a podcast yet, but it's archived online audio content). Again, it's not Ouch!, but it's good anyway. And weekly! And definitely no sobbing. ;)
