Wheely Blind
After many nights of yapping over homemade cocktails about the perils of living in an ableist world, Nevé and Sam thought they would share their musings a little further. Tune in to hear two disabled girls make the world of disability funny, playful and worthwhile for non-disabled friends as well as those, like themselves, who also bump into things a lot.
Episodes
Today Nevé and Sam talk about absolutely nothing of substance or value. They have made a game out of whispering offensive things people have said to them, to each other. They get it very, very wrong.
A different tone today - Nevé bares her soul and shares the story of Pia, her guide dog, from start to finish. Not all love stories last forever, but that doesn't mean the love wasn't real.
Nevé and Sam share and compare their experiences of childhood and adolescence. Things get fun when their journeys - and drinking habits - overlap in high school.
Today comes with a FIRM WARNING for headphone users - we make ourselves laugh a lot and we are not editing professionals. Hey, you guys don’t listen to us for our quality editing and sound engineering. The premise of today’s game is simple: Sam shows Nevé pictures, and Nevé tells Sam what they are. The twist is that Nevé is legally blind, in case you missed that one. WE DON’T OWN ANY OF THESE IMAGES. We don’t even ma...
In today's episode, we decided we wanted to cry, apparently. We explore how our feelings about our conditions have changed as we've grown up, the depth to which damaging societal discourse has impacted us, and how damn much we love each other.
In today's episode, Nevé and Sam goof off about a question that's been plaguing them both since childhood: which apocalyptic or dystopian scenarios would take them out twice as fast, and which would they thrive in? Tune in for an extremely energetic and scholarly discussion.
Welcome to our first episode of 2026! Hear all about how we began our year with a trip to the emergency room while on holiday together on the Gold Coast. We really, really confused Jetstar staff on the way home.

Today, Nevé and Sam decide how offended they are by everyday ableist words and phrases. There's a whole new type of slur out there that we bet you aren't even thinking about.

Today, Nevé and Sam talk about what it's like travelling the world with their disabilities. Sometimes the captain gives us his lunch. Sometimes we get forgotten in carparks.
Nevé, our resident expert on blindness, talks us through her thoughts on blindness in fiction, metaphors surrounding sight, has a shout-out for Al Pacino, and explains why bats are freeloaders.
Today, Sam talks about representation through the lens of theatre and literature's most famous disabled villain, Richard III. Was he as much of a villain as Shakespeare wrote him to be, or has history used his disability against him?

What in the wheeld are we doing here?
Not only have we been friends for over a decade, but we are also affected in similar ways by our conditions. We wanted to create a dedicated space to relate, discuss and cry-laugh over the experience we share - an experience which one-in-four New Zealanders can relate to, and over one in ten people worldwide. Disability isn't as uncommon as you might think.
This is for us, this is for our lov...
For our first episode, we play the Newlywed Game - not because we're newly married, but to open up a discussion about each other, so that you can get to know us a bit better before we get into the deep and meaningfuls later on.
