Trailer Transcript & VD

Poppy: “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 a 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 coming to identify as disabled and all the amazing and difficult in-betweens that come with it.”

Guest: “It's kind of like a, if you were in a radio booth or like in a music production studio, there's different sliders that go up and down. When I started realising that that was a thing, that's when I kind of came into like a more nuanced understanding of disability, which obviously in turn helped me identify as disabled.”

Poppy: 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. Resting genuinely is a form of of protest. It's actually more political than people realise. I'm asking the world ever so subtly to drop the euphemisms.

Please call me disabled. A collaboration with Acast Amplifier, CC Co, and Crack Magazine.
