Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

I'm smart. I've always been smart. And being smart is a central pillar of my identity. I much preferred being "the smart kid" to being "the disabled kid."

For the first time in 100 episodes, we have a guest! In this week's episode, I'm joined by my good friend Jonathan Bradshaw to discuss his colorectal cancer journey, and the legal and social definitions of disability, with a little bit of nostalgia thrown in!
Jonathan was diagnosed with Stage III Rectal Cancer in 2021 at age 40. His treatment included the removal of my colon and everything after, and he will poop in a bag for the rest of his life. Despite being the largest cohort, Jonathan finds a lack of male representation in the Ostomate Community. He tries to be a voice and information source for men entering the poop-bag life.

Episode 102: Let's Get Physical...Or Not

It's easy to say, "Just find something physical you enjoyed doing as a child," when advising someone on how to incorporate exercise into their lives. It's not so easy to do when you grew up disabled.
