Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

A less-than-inspiring exploration of disability from someone who is actually disabled. Heavy on the sarcasm, Bad Attitudes explores the reality of being disabled, how non-disabled people can become better advocates and allies, disability representation in pop culture, and the ways in which disability permeates society. Young or sensitive ears beware. N (always) SFW.

I must be prescient because a whole lot of what I said in this episode has come to pass.

Let's take a look at the story that gripped the nation in the days and weeks leading up to Christmas: the death of United Healthcare CEO Bryan Thompson, and the eventual arrest of Luigi Mangione.
