Access All Podcast

The only sensible place I can direct everyone to today is here, to the BBC’s access All podcast. Presumably a descendent of their disability-themed Ouch page, in this podcast they discuss the alarming rise in rage-baiting, where people attempt to provoke people with disabilities by sticking their tongues out or shouting outright abuse. They often then film the reaction on their phones. As I have written here many times, it is happening to me more and more frequently. A few days ago, dad directed me to an article about it: the article asked people to write in with their personal experiences of the issue, so naturally I did so. I’m pleased to say you can listen to my response on the podcast.
