The Roller and the Stroller
The Roller and the Stroller is a podcast by two best friends. Josiah, the Roller, was born with Cerebral Palsy and navigates the world in a wheelchair, alongside his best friend, Kelly, the Stroller. We discuss living with a disability, adapting to surroundings in a wheelchair, and the challenges we face together. We talk about things like going to concerts, travelling, everyday tasks, and sports, but also get into deeper topics like religion, self-talk, medical needs, and some of the frustrations of using a wheelchair. We give insight on how to enjoy life with a disability and share advice on how to understand someone with a disability.
Episodes
we all have them. some are fair and some are dumb. it be like that sometimes.
oh hey we back, we just took a lil hiatus (just like Thrice did in 2012 - we don't need to talk about that or else Kelly will cry...) We're gonna just jump right back into it with our fav music of 2024! YEEHAWWWW
STORY TIME!! Today Josiah tells us about 2 recent wheelchair mishaps, both which were entirely avoidable (but don't tell him I said that)! When will it end? Probably never.

Enter Dua Lipa. We recently talked about how Josiah has to get a note from his doctor saying he does, in fact, have Cerebral Palsy to get a parking placard, but what exactly does his annual physical entail? Let's get physical!

Have you ever caught someone staring at you? Awkward, right? Well, welcome to Josiah's world. Today we discuss how a recent trip to the zoo reminded us that sometimes Josiah can catch all the attention, and it's not always because of his striking good looks!

I don't know how to live this wheelchair life - even after 29 years! Most people, including us, would think getting a parking pass for a disability would be simple, but guess again. Today we talk about the issues Josiah faces while trying to get this all sorted out. Houston, we have a problem.

You've got a friend in me! And by "me," we mean Racer - Josiah's childhood service dog! Racer was the goodest boy who helped Josiah with tasks in his teenage years, but now Josiah is on the fence about getting another pet. What do you think?

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! Josiah has gone through physical therapy for his #cerebralpalsy - but the first time he did, it left him with some trauma. :( It took him a long time to go back to PT, but the second time around wasn't too bad. How did it help him? PT Around and Find Out!

Picture this: A #wheelchairuser stuck in the wilderness - WWRD? Kelly throws some scenarios at Josiah in which he has to tell us how he would navigate them with his wheelchair. Some of these situations are made up, but some of them happened to us in real life! THAT'S JUST REAL LIFE.

While most people's biggest fears don't involve wheelchairs, our friend Jeff begs to differ. We have a special guest on today's episode in which we discuss going to the restroom in a #handicapped stall. What would happen if a Roller rolled in? Josiah is here to answer.
