Although only the first two episodes have been released so far, I can confidently say that this is one of the best podcasts I have ever heard.
The information about political structures is thoughtful and accurate without ever sounding overly-academic, the interviews are deeply personal and honestly made me tear up more than once, and I can’t believe that the host has apparently not been a podcast host before.

Apple Podcasts5HappyListener1995Canada4 years ago - Great quality, informative, and compassionate
This podcast is on an other level. The production quality is what you’d expect out of one of the big producers! The information (while often heartbreaking) is so informative and accessible. I so appreciate the centring of people and their experiences while examining institutions. I eagerly await more episodes.

I just finished listening to your 2 first podcasts, on the recommendation of a colleague. Although it was not an easy listen, I wanted to commend you for bringing this important topic to light. It’s important for everyone who works in developmental services to be know the history of people with disabilities in Canada. I am looking forward to your upcoming podcasts. BRAVO…job well done. I am looking forward to hearing more from this series.
Apple Podcasts5Coolman2902Canada4 years ago - We all have a lot of work to do
This podcast is one tool of many that we can use to critique, dismantle and engage with the power structures that uphold the ableism that prevents so many fellow humans from proper access to community and dignity of care. I look forward to continue learning and unlearning as I listen each week. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone starting their journey to understand the oppression of dis/abled folks and want to become allies.
