  • Monday's Flashback: What a Body Can Do
    Nov 19 2024

    A Flashback! That’s right we’re flashing back again to Episode 308 of the Talking Headways podcast with Sara Hendren discussing her book What a Body Can Do. Sara chats with us about how we think and talk about disability, reframing independent living, and designing a humane world for everyone. This is one of my favorites and I’m glad we’re getting to share it with folks again.
