Welcome to episode 18 of the podcast, the one where, once we get over the giggles, we talk with Juan Alcazar about blind/disabled people in the media. Juan is one of the very first people who got in touch with us when we began this podcast in November 2019; we are so pleased to finally have him join us for a good old natter. First, we discuss how the media has represented and possibly perpetuated stereotypes of disabled people, second, we consider how these compare and link to our real life experiences as visually impaired people, third, we look to the future and surmise about what should change and how more accurate media representations of disabled people might be achieved and finally, we express why we believe it is important for the media to get this right. A massive thank you to Juan for your support and for bringing this topic to our podcast. Don’t forget to subscribe and follow Juan, he can be found on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook at JC5 Productions.
