Surprise! My friends Tony and Jamie have started their own podcast called "Cripple Threat" where they review disability media and talk about being disabled. They asked me to come on their show and review "My Left Foot" with them, and I said yes. I also wanted to give their show an opportunity to grow and be heard, since disability themed media is rarely given a platform. So enjoy this one, and then go listen to their show "Cripple Threat" at the link below or wherever you podcast. Enjoy it!
