  • Medicaid Mythbusters (w/ Donna Martin & Tom Rice)
    Jan 21 2026

    Welcome to Season 3 of ANCOR Links!

    There's a lot of talk about Medicaid these days, so we decided to resurrect the premise of a quirky show, and bust some Medicaid myths!

    Donna Martin, VP of State Partnerships & Innovation, and Tom Rice, Director of Policy & Regulatory Affairs, sat down with Tricia DePalatis, Membership Coordinator, to discuss ten myths about the Medicaid program. Join us as we dive deep into one of the federal government's most misunderstood programs.

  • Sex, Love and Dragons: Disability representation in television
    Aug 29 2024

    In this episode Alli Strong-Martin & Tricia DePalatis join host André Floyd for a fun discussion about disability representation on television through three shows that we're watching. We discuss a recent(ish) Nielsen report that shows how little disability representation is actually on screen, then get into three shows that run the gamut of good and/or bad representation.

    We try to be spoiler-free (and give warnings when necessary) when discussing Sex Education, Down For Love, and House of the Dragon! Join us on our journey to discussing these three shows, and how differently they each represent disability on screen. Have a good recommendation? Don't hesitate to reach out!
