E7 Ageism and Disability (Immortal Like The Highlander)

Description

A tangent full of tangents explores the topic of age and how it relates to disability. We touch on milestones, mobility aids, and making assumptions and the way these relate to ableism as Rocco and Christy jump into this discussion. Learn more about the hosts as they share a bit about their personal journeys with illness in youth and how that contributed to their views on disability today. And, of course, be ready for some wild and wacky side conversation, because we can't seem to get through an episode without it--the name of the podcast says it all, folks. Tangents Away!
