Join host Elle Billing as Hoorf! podcast launches its second season with a special two-part episode recorded on a visit to Idaho, where she connected with guest Brandon Connolly. In part two, Brandon illustrates how his life as an amputee leads to frequent encounters with ableism and inaccessibility, as well as his efforts to address the accessibility of the local Pride festival. He and Elle spend a bit of time riffing on their list of dream accessibility features for a perfect world— sidewalks would be a great start.
