Today's episode is about the effect of social media on the disability community. I sit down with Ciaran O'Regan we discuss how social media is a fantastic tool to empower the voices of disabled people and to provide able-bodied audiences with educational content. 
It discusses how a new generation of disabled influencers such as Ellen Kean rings loud and clear; their ownership of who they are, their rejection of the old stereotypes of what it means to be disabled, and the way they are replacing them with something so humanly compelling, informed and real.

Ciaran speaks about how disabled social media influencers has changed his perspective on accessibility. It has influenced him to be more aware of obstacles on paths that may make getting around for wheelchair users and people with mobility aids difficult. He also speaks about how social media has affected the growth of interest in Paralympics and para-sports.
