Announcing a brand new podcast: “Disability Rights, and Wrongs – the David Lepodcast”

We are ecstatic to announce a brand-new podcast with AODA Alliance Chair David Lepofsky, brought to you by AMI (Accessible Media Inc.). It is called “Disability Rights, and Wrongs! The David Lepodcast.”

This podcast will give you practical tips on how to advocate for equality, accessibility and full participation for people with all kinds of disabilities. Our guests will offer insights and innovative ideas from a wide range of perspectives. The host, AODA Alliance Chair David Lepofsky, will draw on his decades of disability advocacy and his thoughts garnered as the visiting professor of disability rights at three Ontario law schools: Queen’s, the University of Western Ontario, and the University of Ottawa. Along with him on the podcast is AMI producer and masterful editor Jacob Shymanski. Together, they aim to create an atmosphere that is interesting, informative and easy to listen to.

It is the podcast’s core message that everyone can be a barrier-buster. Lepofsky, Shymanski and the guests will tell stories that include ready-to-use action tips. These will be helpful for anyone interested in any kind of social justice advocacy, not just those important issues that confront people with disabilities.

The first episode is now available for download, and it is expected that a new episode will drop every three weeks or so. AMI also regularly posts transcripts of all its podcasts on the AMI website. You can check it out on Apple Music, Spotify or any other sources.
