Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.] Whether you identify with having a disability or impairment, a health condition, or are disabled, there are people wanting to collect your stories and document your process, your life, yours experiences in light of the pandemic. A lot of it is […]
Listen to this post: This month’s episode is another documentary film in audio form including the Audio Description. In anticipation of the premiere of Jenni Funk’s “Stinky Chicken Dog 2” on December 15th, here is the original “Stinky Chicken Dog.” She didn’t add a “1” in the title because we didn’t expect to make more […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] This is an encore presentation of a 2017 interview with Jane Vogel of Advance Gender Equity in the Arts (AGE) and filmmaker Gigi Williams. Advancing equity is not the same as increasing diversity. I’ve talked to people who genuinely celebrate being […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.] When you think about accessible housing, what comes to mind first? For many people, it’s structural pieces like ramps in place of stairs, grab bars in the bathroom, lower counters and cupboards, and other kinds of physical designs. I’ll ask you […]
Listen to this post: (Podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.) Happy May Day, everyone. Don’t forget: President Eisenhower attempted to turn this labor organizing day into a national “Loyalty Day” celebration where people were supposed to reaffirm their love for and loyalty to the U.S. and its “heritage of freedoms.” Odd choice […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] Here’s an audio-only version of my short documentary “In My Home.” This was made for the Free Our People Film Contest and Festival in 2017, and it continues to be a reminder of the anti-institutionalization movement that’s so important for disability […]

Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.] Building on Episode 55 and Alice Wong’s ghost, I talk to queer disabled horror and documentary filmmaker Ariel Baska about their relationship to horror films, the intersection of horror and disability, and, of course, Alice Wong’s ghost. Special bonus: There’s an […]
Listen to this post: Alice Wong has died. I’m not doing a fifteen-hour tribute on the podcast, which is how long it would take me to scratch the surface of describing how much she meant to me and how much she gave the world and will continue to give. This is a short tribute. No […]
Listen to this post (the podcast episode is at the bottom): Be sure to check out Infusion Photos Part One: I Walk In. Might be nice to do them in order, but it probably doesn’t matter. In this episode, Sara and I chat to follow up on her exhibition and artist talk at Blue Sky […]
Listen to this post: (The podcast episode is at the bottom of the page.) In 2019, I produced a story called When Disability Requires a Different Approach for the 70 Million podcast and hadn’t shared it. I would like to produce an episode on a social issue and have that episode be irrelevant even before it […]
Listen to this post: (The podcast episode is at the bottom of the page.) Wow! Another two-parter. So, I did two whole podcast episodes in the entire year of 2024. 2025 is starting off with a lot more energy and drive, and with that comes more connections. This two-parter focuses on an artist with a […]
Listen to this post: [The podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] You heard from me a lot last month. Now you’ll hear from Jenn and Aaron in our conversation about Existing Patient and what it means to make a film that’s so personal, intimate, and real. There’s a few f-bombs in the […]
Listen to this post: (Podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.) I haven’t been here for a while. Not trying to be dramatic. Just busy. I’m so glad to be back. Here’s Part 1 of a two-parter called Art Imitates Sick Imitates Life. It’s about my experiences watching a few films that depict […]
Listen to this post: Wow. I only released two podcast episodes in 2024. I was starting to feel sad because I used to be working on an episode all the time and publishing monthly. But I’m not sad because what I have been working on is another podcast! Pigeonhole is not going away, and I […]
Listen to this post: This podcast episode is not about my grandma, but it is about a grandma with a grill. Sara M. Acevedo’s grandma who used to make wonderful food on the grill for Sara back home in Colombia when she was growing up. You’ll hear more soon about the POD Access project that […]
Listen to this post: (Podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) A few years ago, I went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. Here’s a yellow boxfish I found there in a temporary display. I just know this one is playing hide and seek with me. But then? After the boxfish? I […]
Listen to this post. (The podcast audio is at the bottom of the page.) I love to eat and hate to cook. That about sums up my life. Oh, that and I went to New York last week, my first trip out of the city where I live in three-and-a-half years. Why yes, I did […]
Listen to this post (podcast is at the bottom of the post): Did you ever meet that person where you’re like, oh, yes, you. Yep. You. The person where you have some important stuff in common or share political views or a love of neat sounds or they will indulge your cat obsession while not […]
Listen to this post (the podcast is at the bottom): I found an old, scrappy video I made of Lavaun a decade ago. She was developing a project to do stories about colors. As an artist with low vision, she never stopped wondering about the best ways to bring a color description to life so […]
