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!
In this episode, I talk about how many disabled people don't get a second date, and from there we look at popular magazine suggestions about what to do on Date #2, and apply disability to them. Maybe on the 2nd date you can bring up ableism. Maybe on the 2nd date you can take your date on disability transit. Maybe on that second date you can wear comfy crip clothes, and be way more your disabled self on the date than you thought. All this and more on this episode. Enjoy!
In this episode, I look at the logistics of sex in a bathtub when you have a disability. We talk about how you and a partner can get you in the tub, the accessibility of sexy disabled bathtub time once in the tub, some of the problems you might encounter and more. Enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with disabled married couple Kate & Aaron Wolovsky. They go by "The Disabled Duo." We have a fun chat about their disabled meet cute, their marrisge and sex life as a disabled couple and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
In this episode, I invite the hosts of the Do You Queer What I Queer Podcast, Elliott and Thom to ask me questions about sex, disability and queerness they might have. Things take a pretty hilarious turn as they discover why taint-sucking is the most accessible sex act, I recount hilarious stories (again!), we talk ableist misconceptions and more! Enjoy!
In this bonus episode, I sit down with Associate Professor of English in Women's and Gender Studies at Williamette, Allison P. Hobgood. We interrogate how crip sexuality, disability and Shakespeare go together by looking at his play Measure by Measure. Through the play, we talk about how in Shakespearean times crip corporeality has always been there whether we realized it or not. This episode brought my love of history, disability and sexuality back together, and I had to share with you. Enjoy!
