“Today was the first time that I have listened to this podcast, at first I found it very refreshing and agreed with the sentiments of the other reviewers...that changed when aspergers was mentioned though. The presenters both seemed to take the attitude that there was nothing wrong with the caller on the line and passively aggresively challenged her on it a couple of times. Bearing in mind that aspergers is a developmental issue which effects social understanding and capabilities this passive aggression could very very easily be described as bullying a person who is incapable of getting 'in' on the joke to defend herself. The fact that this was done by presenters who are themselves disabled compounds the effect as non disabled people will view them with some authority on the subject. Unfortunately I believe that this episode will cause the negative perception of aspergers to rise and increase the struggles that aspies have to deal with. It may be wise for the presenters to take some time to read a book or two about any condition that they do not understand.”Read full review »

“I love this program. Irreverent, witty, intelligence & on point about issues facing the disabled. North Americans have a lot to learn & this program goes a long way to fill the gap.”
