  • Bonus Episode: Glass Eye Witness News
    Nov 13 2025

    The first episode of my NPR-style disability parody news podcast (hopefully the first of many because boy did I have fun making this).

    Special thanks to the Squeaky Wheel for rejecting my pitches for these stories so I could use them here. To read some excellent disability-related satire (including, starting soon, some written by me), visit them here:
