Permission to Be Curious

Ever had a question about disability but didn’t ask because you were afraid of saying the wrong thing? Permission to Be Curious is here to help with that. This podcast is where curiosity meets real talk. No sugarcoating. No tiptoeing awkwardly (and not just because I can’t tiptoe). Just honest conversations about disability, assumptions, and what it really means to connect with others. So go ahead. Ask. Listen. Connect. Maybe even laugh a little. It’s time to get curious.

    Communication Support is More Common Than You Think

    In this episode of Permission to Be Curious, Katie Joy challenges the idea that communication only “counts” when it is spoken out loud. From emojis to translation apps to text messages, this conversation explores how communication supports already shape daily life, and why those same tools are viewed differently when disability is part of the picture.

    Curiosity as a Radical Act

    What if asking questions could change the world? In this episode, we explore how we can use curiosity as a powerful tool for connection, inclusion, and challenging the status quo. When we dare to ask, listen, and truly see each other, we can disrupt assumptions and create space for everyone to have a voice.  Curiosity is courage. Keep asking. Keep listening. Keep connecting.

    Not a Parasite, That's Just Bias Showing

    When billionaires start throwing around words like "parasite class," it's time to set the record straight. In this episode, we're talking about who really contributes to society, why productivity doesn't define worth, and how ableist narratives fuel exclusion.  Spoiler alert: Disabled people aren't the problem. Bias is! Let's chat about why these outdated mindsets persist and what happens when we refuse to shrink to fit them. Join the conversation, share this episode, and let's keep dismantling the nonsense, one bias at a time.
