"We Don't Want to be Spoken Over"

Welcome to our second 'ListenABLE Kids' a space for like minded and aged young adults to have conversations about the lived experience of their disabilities. We started these episodes as a way for Dylan and Angus to exit the conversation and allow natural language and conversation to flow from individuals with similar experiences. How can Dylan and Angus know what it's like to have an iPhone at school when they were playing snake on their Nokia's. Guests: Daniel O'Brien is an international Powerchair Hockey superstar playing in Switzerland for the world Championship in 2022. Daniel has Muscular Dystrophy meaning he uses a Power Wheelchair and can walk for very short distances at a time. Passionate about his sports Powerchair Hockey and Soccer, he talks about how sport breaks down the barriers when it comes to the stigma around disability but also his personal confidence hoping to inspire others to do the same.  Josh Brass is an up and coming tennis star and Entrepreneur. His disability is Sacral Agenesis, in which Josh explains, "it mean’s I have no knee caps and limited movement in my legs". With already a jam packed schedule nothing is holding Josh back from achieve his goals as he believes his disability gives him the power to overcome all obstacles, even if it means rolling your wheelchair down a hill full speed once or twice.

Emma Booth

Is this the most expensive sport?? At a young age Emma Booth was lucky enough to win free horse riding lessons for a year and never looked back, putting her heart and soul into the sport.

How do you design clothes when you're visually impaired? Is what you "see" conveyed to the customer?  Nikki Hind has made it her mission to change what fashion represents all over the world by creating a conversation through fabrics. Having a stroke during her first pregnancy, Nikki lost majority of her eyesight and on this episode of ListenABLE discusses taking on a career that traditionally relies on visual aesthetic and a vision for minuet perfection. Her goal remains of achieving success as a "good designer" without the tokenistic narrative that can be easily placed on disability "not just a good blind designer". Get an insight into the future of fashion through Nikki’s eyes and watch her break down the barriers of 'prestige' in an elite society by making fashion not just accessible to people with disability but accessible to every body.

Challenge what you think it’s like to live with disability.  Hosts Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin speak to people living with disabilities about their lives and ask them the questions you thought were off-limits. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll learn something. This is a podcast for everyone - disabled or abled, and hopes to break down stigmas, change perceptions, and to challenge what you think it’s like to live with disability.

With 3 million followers on TikTok, the Paralympics have gone viral with an ‘edgy’ sense of humour but is it doing more harm than good?

Candace Owens ‘Dangerous Comments’ Over Skims' Disabled Model Campaign

Rushed to hospital as a child Barney Koneferenisi's parents were told doctors had to immediately amputate his limbs to save his life, not even having time to have an anaesthetist put him under. "I left the room fully intact and when I came back I literally only had a stump and a couple of fingers". After 100 different surgeries and a decade of being in and out of hospital he sat down with Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin to talk about life as a Pacific Island disabled person and the cultural implications of being made to feel a "burden or a curse" to his family, the hilarious call he received to become a Tokyo Paralympian and how being left on the side of the road was the inspiration behind his new Start Up 'Safe Rides'.

'Deaf in the delivery room' | How a mother navigated childbirth as a deaf person

Why would you want to support someone that would go around and harass people on social media for their likes and interests. Get a better hobby.

This person is a dick

Whatever good this show does, is destroyed. Just want everyone to know who reads this that Angus is a fraud. 

See, ol Angus rails on about equality for persons (like me) with disabilities but, in his off time he bullies people online for the passions that have gotten them through hard times. 

You all wouldn’t see that because rather than own it, Angus deleted the tweet and subsequently got called out for his bullying. 

Just thought you should know before you support this show.

Nope.
