Disability Podcasts Roundup #2


Our first disability podcasts roundup (back in March) took note of the brand new Ouch! podcast... so now that Liz and Mat have posted their eighth monthly podcast, we're clearly due for another look around the world of disability podcasting.

The news from Disability Nation is that they've gone to a weekly, half-hour podcast schedule; the latest episode discusses visitability with Eleanor Smith of Concrete Change (that's her at right), accessible voting, Medicare and wheelchairs, the Church of England and severely-disabled infants, and more--great coverage of current events and excellent interviews are the hallmarks of Disability Nation--and they post a transcript of each episode, too.

There's a new disability podcast out of Ireland, named Outside the Box, produced and presented by Olan McGowan (shown at right)--there's only one episode up at iTunes so far, but it sounds good (as you'd expect, it's a radio show on RTÉ). I'll look forward to finding more of those.

Other disability-related podcasts that are currently posting new episodes (as of this writing) include:
Cripcast--by a 30something Florida man named Dwight
Disability 411--by Beth Case, a college disability counselor based in Houston
ssdRadio--by Jonathan Ginsberg, a Social Security lawyer based in Atlanta
Handimobility--Philippe, Gabrielle, and Mony are podcasting in French--which I don't follow, but it sounds cool
Autism Podcast--by Michael Boll; lots of interviews and discussions
Blind Cool Tech--by Larry Skutchan; frequent new episodes are posted
Blind Access Journal--by Darrell Shandrow
The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show--by Dave and Mike in Australia
If you produce a disability podcast, or you hear a good one, let us know, and we'll add it to the list.
