Show Notes
Jess Thom is a performer, a campaigner and, a thinker. She constantly strives to remove barriers for everyone, specifically in her work and performance but introducing ‘relaxed performances’ where people can come to a show, make a noise, eat something, wriggle about and just be themselves. Her lockdown, a well run ‘spaceship’ catering to her needs and getting the right support and giving other help too. She boldly ventures to new worlds where barriers are removed for all. And her innate creative expressions via her Tourette’s are just a lovely part of our conversation. Carrie-Ann Lightley is a wheelchair using access consultant with AccessAble and a travel blogger. She’s been cocooned near the Lake District, although is a little concerned walkers will flood her local area soon. Writing blogs about getting around the UK has been difficult but she’s found her ways of getting through lockdown, including listening to podcasts, which she didn’t know about until Phil introduced her to our show. She’s listened to all of them and seems none the worse for it.Geoff brings us eclectic news stories - are supermarkets leaving disabled shoppers behind despite the claims?
