So far, I have worked with four fantastic guest hosts who talked with me about disabled characters on TV for the Disability.TV podcast.
Maddy Ruvolo and I compared notes on the paraplegic ex-quarterback Jason Street on Friday Night Lights.
It took two episodes for me and Alice Wong to do justice to the many disabled characters on Game Of Thrones.
Cheryl Green and I cofessed our love-hate relationship with Glee to the podcast listening public.
And next Friday’s show will feature a detailed postmortem on the 2013 remake of Ironside, with co-host Kamilah Proctor.
The podcast is off to a great start, but there are lots more shows I want to talk about, and I’m looking for people to discuss them with me. It’s a pretty simple process. We have a roughly hour-long Skype discussion about the TV show in question and how disabled characters and disability themes play out. Are they stereotypical, groundbreaking, realistic, inaccurate, three-dimensional, flat, cliché, original, uplifting, or revolting ... helpful to the cause, or horrific?
Or, more simply, do you like the show and its disability depictions or not?
Here’s a list of shows with disabled characters I plan to cover in upcoming podcast episodes:
Star Trek ... selected episodes of any or all of the series
Let me know if you are interested in any of these shows, and if you might be willing to co-host the podcast with me. My email address is: apulrang@icloud.com.
