New: The Dismodern Bodcast

The universe of disability blogs used to be fairly easy to tour with some sense of coverage--now it's grown far beyond that possibility (for me, anyway). The same is true for podcasts about disability issues. I mostly manage to keep up with the Ouch! podcast (now in its fourth year, after 37 monthly episodes), but there are so many others, and new ones start often.

But maybe you're still looking for more audio content, maybe something less newsy or more theory-minded; then I'll point you to the Dismodern Bodcast, created at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Here's their blurb:

The Dismodern Bodcast examines contemporary issues of the body, including normalcy and difference. The Dismodern Bodcast examines representations of bodily difference in order to understand how dominant culture uses rhetoric about the body for ideological and political purposes. This methodology disrupts what is often static, essentialist thinking about the human body in order to generate new ways of conceptualizing the body that are perhaps more inclusive and democratic.

Two episodes are already available (one discusses bodybuilding, and the other anorexia); subscribe through iTunes if that works for you.
