  • Great podcast!

    Really enjoy this show, it covers everything around disability which is so useful. The host is brilliant with a sense of humour that I love, friendly so it feels like a chat with a mate but professional to do tough interviews with politicians. If you have a disability you will love it!

  • Simply the best

    Been listening to the show for years. Can’t express how much it’s helped me feel thought of, rather than thought about, as a congenitally disabled person in a society that so often overlooks us.

    Much love and respect to all those involved.

  • Sassy, insightful & funny

    The dynamic between Nikki and Emma is perfect for tackling any real life story or celebrity interview. The common thread is disability but accessible for all ears, especially open ones.

    Altogether humorous, engaging and deeply empathetic, the pair interview guests and explore issues that leave the listener uplifted and hopefully thinking about the world with a different perspective.
