The Best of Disability Stories
from RISK! · host RISK!
Kevin launches a new classic RISK! series for Disability Pride Month, revisiting stories about life with a disability from episodes past. Amy Salloway takes a job as guest playwright at Entropy, a theater program for adults with multiple disabilities. On her first day, a charming client named Aaron falls at her feet. The interview quickly becomes something Amy knows is off-limits. Mary Gossett meets Andrew on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He's a wheelchair user. Their first months together are equal parts giddy first love and daily logistical negotiation. Then, on the morning of what was supposed to be a landmark day, Mary loses feeling on the right side of her body. (And thanks to Amy Salloway and Jeff Grell, who organized the Twin Cities RISK! fundraiser where Mary's story was originally recorded.) • Leave your comments to these stories and find episode details and music credits at risk-show.com/podcast/the-best-of-disability-stories • Find this and future Best of Disability Stories episodes at risk-show.com/disabilitystories Be Part of RISK! 🎟 See RISK! live in NYC on Tuesday, September 8, 2026 ✍️ Pitch your story ❤️ Support us on Patreon 💵 Make a one-time donation via PayPal or Zelle to [email protected] 📚 Shop merch or the RISK! book 🎓 Take storytelling classes with us 🎥 Hire Kevin as a coach or get personalized videos Learn more about your ad choices.
