Ouch! Talk Show 75: Say it again ... and again
| 14:15 UK time, Friday, 19 August 2011
How many times can you legitimately ask someone with a speech impairment to repeat themselves? Our vegetable quiz returns and we're all about disabled golf. Liz Carr and Rob Crossan present.
Listen or subscribe to the show by following this link
• Rob admits that he doesn't know how to talk to people with speech impairments. We help him out. Correction, we try to.
• The Disabled British Open starts this weekend and we have two of the hopefuls in the studio to talk about golf.
• Our Vegetable Vegetable Vegetable game returns. Just what is wrong with the person on the other end of the phone? Our presenters have to guess in 90 seconds or less.
• We discuss the embarrassment of swimming pool changing rooms if you can't see. And singer Pidgie from unsigned band Olypsys joins us.
• This is a special longer edition for summer. September's show is also a longer one. Do you like our newer short shows, or our old style hour-long ones? Get in touch and tell us.
Coming soon
Mat Fraser is back with Liz on the next show. But what's going to be on it? We've had a few ideas though haven't booked anyone or anything yet so your guess is as good as mine at the moment. It's due to go live around September 12.
If you have any ideas about what you want to hear on a future podcast then get in touch with us. We're also always keen to take any disability questions you have - the more obtuse the better; we'll try and answer them.

I would just tease her and make her laugh and then she would relax and be able to tell me. You can't be too serious about impairments, just laugh, it is all part of life.

It would appear they are sanitising feedback by utilising what is left of disabled at the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ to promote an image they are still supported, this is not true. Contributions by disabled to the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ pod casts also validates the exclusion of disabled feedback. we should ask whose 'side' are these ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ disabled on ?

He said something and after a few goes I had to say "look, my hearing's not great, I'm really sorry but I don't understand you" and moved along... to hear, crystal clear from behind me "I was only trying to say hello!"
I felt awful but what else could I do?
Sorry Lawrence...
