Empowering Independence!

HAVE YOU TUNED IN YET?!

By Jen Grushdale

Looking to learn more about disability in Idaho? From current issues, to the history of disability pride, the Independent Idaho podcast covers a wide range of topics all relating to disability and independent living. Hosted by Jeremy Maxand, executive director of LINC and founding member of the Idaho Access Project, the show highlights issues and people important to Idahoans with disabilities.

Each episode features a person with a disability or ally expanding upon their lived experience with disability.

From folks connected to caregiving to self-advocates and decision makers, the show expands our understanding of disability pride and perseverance. Recent episodes include an interview with Cecile, an immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and wheelchair-user, to Sean Spence about his new book “Breaking Barriers: Disability History in the United States.”

Episodes drop every other Monday morning. You can find them on Spotify. Search “Independent Idaho” and hit subscribe!
