あらすじ・解説
We are ending the summer in style as we welcome Steven Verdile onto the show today. Steven is a New York City-based designer and writer, but he’s probably best known as the creator of the disability satire website The Squeaky Wheel. We talk about his approach to disability satire and humour, the funniest disability moments we’ve encountered recently, the Barbie movie and more. Here are the links to the Squeaky Wheel articles we discussed: Wheelchair Barbie Gets Revolutionary 4 Seconds of Fame: https://thesqueakywheel.org/2023/08/02/wheelchair-barbie-gets-revolutionary-4-seconds-of-fame/ Disability Pride May Have Ended, but 11 Months of Disability Shame Are Just Getting Started: https://thesqueakywheel.org/2023/08/01/disability-pride-month-may-have-ended-but-11-months-of-disability-shame-are-just-getting-started/ U.K.’s Largest Benefit Recipient Awarded with Shiny New Hat: https://thesqueakywheel.org/2023/05/06/uks-largest-benefit-recipient-awarded-with-shiny-new-hat/ Visit The Squeaky Wheel at: www.thesqueakywheel.org or Steven Verdile’s website at: www.stevenverdile.com On a sadder note, this episode marks the final episode of the Connecting Disability podcast. Recent changes at AMI-audio have meant several shows, like this one, are ending. I want to thank all the guests who joined me during the past two years, the technical producers who worked on this show, and Andy Frank and Ryan Delehanty for guiding the podcasts. And most importantly, thank you to you, the listeners, for joining me on this journey. I loved every minute we spent together. I’m sad to be leaving this show. If you want to contact me, you can go to the site formerly known at Twitter @meagangillmore. My messages are open. Or, send a note to feedback@ami.ca, tell them you’d like to get in touch with me, and they’ll pass your message along. I hope we connect again soon!
