For the three year anniversary of this show, I am so excited to share my very first LIVE episode ever of Disability After Dark. I did a show at Toronto's iconic Masonic Temple with my friend porn star (and repeat guest), Jay Austin. This time around, I look in his eyeballs and ask him "What Would Happen If You Became Disabled Tomorrow?"
In this episode I sit down with Dr. Judith Glover from RMIT University who is one of the lead innovators and key members of the design team working with us on our Deliciously Disabled sex toy project. We talk about how she became involved and interested in sex toy design, how you create great sex toys, how sexuality and disability is a human right, and we explore what the future of sex tech and disability might look like. Enjoy!
In this episode, I sit down with activist, instructor and altogether disabled badass, Hannah Soyer. We talk about her experiences being a wheelchair using instructor, physical cues and consent, her This Body is Worthy campaign and so much more. Enjoy!
In this episode, I sit down with TV writer Esme Mazzeo as we talk about her experience at her 10 year high school reunion, writing about disability on TV and how we can do better, what independence means for her and so much more. We go off an a ktrillion tangents, and it was amazing. Enjoy!
In the continuing series, "What If You Became Disabled Tomorrow?" I sit down with sex columnist and podcaster Dan Savage. We talk about his history of seeing gay disabled men at bars, how becoming disabled might change his life with his partner, how disability might change his working life and why he was a little scared to come on the show.
In Episode 150 (wow), I sit down with Mike Matlock (aka The Crippled Critic) to talk about disability in the gaming world, how good he is at using a joystick, his journey with polyamory and Spinal Muscular Atrophy and so much more. Enjoy!
In this episode we explore what it's like to try and get to a date if you are disabled and you don't drive. What are the challenges of going "on foot", using disability transit, conventional transit, etc. We also talk about how the idea of independence and sex plays into having a car and how disabled people who can't drive are affected by this. Enjoy!
In this episode, we review the 2012 independent film "Morgan" all about a gay athlete who gets paralyzed and then falls in love with a non-disabled guy. We explore the ableist tropes in the film and the way sexuality and disability is portrayed... the film is super low budget and super not great.
In this episode, I sit down with my new friend Leah Sauter who shares with us her experiences of being disabled and studying the holocaust in Haifa, Israel. She also shares with us her experience navigating dating and her relationship while living with anxiety, PCOS and a whole host of other disabilities and issues. We find out how she and her partner work with all this together, she tells us why she is an awkward turtle and so much more. Enjoy!
In this episode I introduce you to my sister and co-founder of Deliciously Disabled, Heather Morrison. Together we started the brand in the hopes of creating the very first line of sex toys for disabled people. I talk with Heather about why this type of thing was important for her to be involved in, she highlights the specs of the project, our push to find funding, why access to self-pleasure is a human right and something people take for granted, and she even shares some funny awkward stories about sexy audio I recorded as a pre-teen! This is a good one. Enjoy!
