Ira Glass told radio stations to pick up This American Life, not because of its exceptional storytelling, but because it would make them money during pledge drive.

This is one of the hottest topics around: terminology and the language used to discuss accessibility and disability topics. According to various advocacy groups, the Province of B.C. has replaced the word "handicapped" with the phrase "special needs." In reaction, people with disabilities have asked whether this is appropriate. 

Our panel poses this very question as host, Nicole Babor, introduces the topic, along with CiTR's Accessibility Collective members, Sarah, Kevin and Lidia. They are joined in studio by three panelists, Nicole Le, Alison MK and Mark John Babor, who, themselves, have a disability. All three give their thoughts and opinions on the matter. The panelists are asked which words or terms they don't like people to use and why. As the conversation progresses, a larger question arises—how important is it for news reporters and the media to be better educated on disability language? This panel is a conversation on best practices for communicating in an inclusive and respectful way, with and about people of all abilities. The topic is especially meaningful to the Collective both because it has real implications for them as people with disabilities and because they themselves are media.

In July and August of 2019, six teenagers learned to podcast at CiTR 101.9FM, as part of the UBC Museum of Anthropology's Native Youth Program.

The Native Youth Program (NYP) is a summer program for urban Indigenous youth, ages 15 to 18. Its goal is to produce young Indigenous leaders, provide meaningful direction and mentoring and to promote public understanding of the diversity and richness of Indigenous cultures within the UBC community. 

Trained by CiTR staff members Alex de Boer and Leighland Joyce, each NYP participant took a unique approach to exploring their Indigenous identity through sound. All six teenagers produced an original 3-5 minute podcast episode. These episodes range in style from radio drama to rap music to narrative nonfiction. This submission features samples of each of the six original works and is followed by a short interview segment with one of the producers.

The NYP producers are Chandelle, Shonta, Shawn, Kaleigh, Suzane and Aramis.
