Optical Delusion

Optical Delusion is a podcast that challenges what you think you see. Hosted by two Team USA Paralympic swimmers, we dive into the untold, unexpected, and unapologetically real stories of Paralympians, athletes, and people with disabilities. From podium moments to plot twists no one prepared us for, we talk grit, identity, access, failure, humor, and everything in between. This isn’t a highlight reel or a feel-good montage; it’s a conversation about navigating a world that often underestimates you. Optical Delusion: telling the stories we did not see coming (and you probably didn't either).
