The Roller and the Stroller

The Roller and the Stroller is a podcast by two best friends. Josiah, the Roller, was born with Cerebral Palsy and navigates the world in a wheelchair, alongside his best friend, Kelly, the Stroller. We discuss living with a disability, adapting to surroundings in a wheelchair, and the challenges we face together. We talk about things like going to concerts, travelling, everyday tasks, and sports, but also get into deeper topics like religion, self-talk, medical needs, and some of the frustrations of using a wheelchair. We give insight on how to enjoy life with a disability and share advice on how to understand someone with a disability.

Have you ever caught someone staring at you? Awkward, right? Well, welcome to Josiah's world. Today we discuss how a recent trip to the zoo reminded us that sometimes Josiah can catch all the attention, and it's not always because of his striking good looks!
