Episode 52: Back Doing Something I Love

These days, virtually anything is possible for individuals with disabilities, and outdoor recreation is no exception! Here to prove just that is this week's guest, Greg Traynor, who hosts the “Accessible Hunter” podcast, along with his partner Mike Hudson. Greg continues to reap the benefits of the great outdoors, and is an active hunter just as he was prior to becoming a wheelchair user. Grab a comfy seat (preferably on the front porch swing) as Greg describes his extensive hunting background, explains the incident which caused his paralysis, and details the specialized equipment he uses to effectively hunt. He also tells us how he formed a friendship with podcast cohost Mike, discusses the general purpose of the show, and enlightens us on some of the disabilities that have been represented among his guests.

Kimberly Parsley

Welcome to Demand and Disrupt.

I am your host, Kimberly Parsley.

Sam Moore

And I'm your co-host, Sam Moore.

Happy Easter, Kimberly.

Kimberly Parsley

Happy Easter.

Sam, how are things going up there in the North Quail Motel?

Sam Moore

Well, it's beautiful today as we record this happy little podcast.

In a few days on the actual Easter, I don't know if that's going to be the same, according to the forecast, but luckily I'm too big for Easter egg hunts at this point, we've had several in this area that have been canceled due to projected inclement weather.

Kimberly

So that's sad, but you know what?

You're never too old for Cadbury Easter eggs.

Do you like a good Cadbury egg?

Sam

Gosh, it's been forever since I've had one of those.

I like, you know, pretty much anything that you could stuff in an Easter egg.

I would always gladly devour, especially jelly beans.

Jelly beans have always been a weakness of mine.

Kimberly

I am such a snob.

I like jelly bellies, but not jelly.

Sam Oh yes.

In fact, that's really what I meant.

Cause jelly bellies are the bulk of what I've had.

They're bigger and definitely better than the jelly beans.

Kimberly My daughter got me, is this a hot take?

Here it comes.
