In this fifth episode of their podcast I'm Stumped!, hosts Claire and Ani_Logs discuss their week, the challenges of accessibility, and share some lighthearted personal stories.

How unbelievable is it when a venue's disabled facilities are on the highest floor of a building, with a broken lift?

Would you rather lose an arm or a leg? These are just some of the topics of this weeks episode!

Key Discussion Points:

  • Podcast Growth & Guest Plans: discuss their excitement about receiving requests from listeners to be guests on the show, particularly from members of the disabled and chronically ill communities (1:53 - 3:00). They emphasize their commitment to media ethics and prioritizing the comfort and agency of their guests over sensationalizing stories (3:15 - 4:45).
  • Accessibility Issues: Ani_Logs shares a frustrating experience at a venue that claimed to be accessible but lacked proper facilities, such as a functional lift and accessible restrooms (16:11 - 18:40). They discuss how accessibility is often treated as a "checkbox" rather than a genuine requirement for independence (19:00 - 22:30).
  • Quick Stumpers Segment: The hosts engage in a fun "would you rather" segment (26:15 - 33:40).
  • What Stumped Them This Week:
  • Recommendations: The episode closes with song and fruit recommendations, including Hard Time by Seinabo Sey and Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood (43:22 - 43:55).
