Drop the euphemisms. Call Me Disabled. This is a new podcast from me, Poppy Field. Since my childhood, I've had a rollercoaster of experiences with my disabled identity. Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, neurodivergency, and in particular, inaccessibility. I know how complicated our relationship with disability can be.I'll be chatting with various guests about their journey of identifying as disabled, plus all the amazing and difficult in-betweens that come with it. We'll be sharing their story and we'll discuss what we want the future to look like for everybody. Temporary, non-disabled and disabled, you included. I'm asking the world ever so subtly to drop the euphemisms.Please call me disabled.Instagram: @CallMeDisabledPod https://www.instagram.com/callmedisabledpod/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@callmedisabledpodTwitter: @CallMeDisabled https://twitter.com/callmedisabledYouTube: https://youtube.com/@callmedisabledDiscord: https://discord.com/MUGWJ3uyPatreon: patreon.com/CallMeDisabled>>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5paGNb7SyT3kAoTwTu7Epy?si=9f6ab1d0e62844dbApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/call-me-disabled/id1683375471Acast: https://shows.acast.com/call-me-disabled/aboutAudible: https://www.amazon.com/Call-Me-Disabled/dp/B0BT8CL6KWGoogle: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzL2NhbGwtbWUtZGlzYWJsZWQSubscribe to CMD newsletter on: www.CallMeDisabled.comTranscript: www.callmedisabled.com/transcriptA collaboration with Acast Amplifier, CC Co, and Crack Magazine.
