Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability artwork

A less-than-inspiring exploration of disability from someone who is actually disabled. Heavy on the sarcasm, Bad Attitudes explores the reality of being disabled, how non-disabled people can become better advocates and allies, disability representation in pop culture, and the ways in which disability permeates society. Young or sensitive ears beware. N (always) SFW.

Disabled people don't need "extra" protection. People just need to stop behaving badly.Support the showJoin the Mailing List: Subscribe NowApply to be a guest: Guest ApplicationBad
