Neuro Rainbow Cast with Autisticly Aar - The Harriet Kemslet Interview: Laugh out loud fun with the dyspraxic comedian
play

01/19/23 • 52 min

She/Her

Harriet is a comedian you may have seen her pop up across the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Comedy Central all over TV shows like Live At The Apollo and 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown. As well as radio programmes and podast including one she hosted with comedian friend Sunil Patel called 'Why Is Harriet Crying'. This episode features no intro and no outro I recorded them but technology became an enemy and is a rival of mine (it should easily work, why not) enough of my tech rage. this was a fun and enjoyable interview one that made me laugh out loud and hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed this interview.

In this episode of Diselectability, Aar Jae Williams (Eira-Auri) interviews Dr. Phoenix CS Andrews, author of 'I Heart Politics,' which explores the theory of political fandom culture and its impacts in the age of mass-market popular culture. Dr. Andrews, who is disabled and neurodivergent, shares insights on how autism and ADHD influence his perspective on political engagement. The discussion delves into the intersections of fandom, populism, conspiracy theories, and the broader implications for disabled and marginalised communities. Additionally, they touch on Dr. Andrews' personal journey with late diagnoses of several disabilities and the unique challenges and experiences that come with it. The episode also explores how disabled people navigate political spaces, the representation of neurodivergent and transgender individuals in media, and how supportive fandoms provide community and identity.
