from Abnormal · host Pete Laverick

In this episode of Abnormal, I interview Oscar Dennis, a remarkable athlete who overcame a life-altering bike accident to pursue his dreams in sports. Oscar shares his journey from being a rugby player for the Kenyan national Sevens team to surviving a horrific hit-and-run accident that nearly cost him his life. Oscar's story is one of resilience, gratitude and inspiration. As he prepares for the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, he reminds us that every day is a blessing, and that life can change at any moment.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Oscar's Journey02:50 Oscar's Ties to Kenya and Rugby Career06:02 The Accident: A Life-Changing Moment09:00 The Aftermath: Surviving the Accident11:56 The Road to Recovery: Surgeries and Challenges14:57 Mental Struggles and Resilience17:48 Finding New Purpose in Sports21:01 Reflections on Life and Injustice24:04 The Journey of Healing and Growth26:57 Lessons Learned and Moving Forward35:32 Embracing New Beginnings39:31 The Journey to Triathlon44:57 Unexpected Turns at the Paralympics52:43 Life in the Paralympic Village01:00:52 Funding and Future AspirationsProduced by ‪@MUNDAY_STUDIOS‬ Munday.live/studios Get in touch:Instagram: / petelaverick YouTube: / @pete.laverick Facebook: / pete.laverick.5 Email: [email protected]

Into The Parabnormal Jeremy Scott Jeremy Scott and his guests investigate everything between the paranormal and abnormal. We entertain those fringe topics, diving deep into subjects that are very often ahead of their times and censored or even banned from the mainstream. Teaching While White Podcast Teaching While White Over 80% of teachers in the U.S. are white. But most don’t know that their whiteness matters. TWW seeks to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom. Because "white" does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. This means if you are not white or don’t adhere to those assumptions, you are abnormal or less than. TWW wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our assumptions to promote racial literacy.
