Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, journalist and broadcaster (Channel 4 News, talkSPORT, AFTV, Guardian Football Weekly), hosts Jordan Jarrett-Bryan's The World's Coolest Disabled', a bold, no-filter podcast exploring life with disabilities. Mixing raw honesty, heartfelt stories, and laughs, it features the voices of disabled people, their loved ones, and health professionals. As a below the knee amputee himself, he's achieved some amazing things - some because of his disability, some totally unrelated. With so many people with disabilities who are doing or have done really interesting things, but don’t have the confidence to shout about it – well as the self appointed coolest disabled on the planet – I’ll do it for or with them. He'll have really casual chats with some amazing people – who just happen to be disabled. He’ll explore how they achieved the things they have – and how or even if their disability played a role. There are so few podcasts that put disabled people at the centre of the conversation without making their disability exclusively the reason for their existence. On this podcast, he’ll just have a laugh, maybe a cry and ask the questions many are often too scared or ill-informed to ask.Slap the follow or subscribe button.
