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.

You've got a friend in me! And by "me," we mean Racer - Josiah's childhood service dog! Racer was the goodest boy who helped Josiah with tasks in his teenage years, but now Josiah is on the fence about getting another pet. What do you think?

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! Josiah has gone through physical therapy for his #cerebralpalsy - but the first time he did, it left him with some trauma. :( It took him a long time to go back to PT, but the second time around wasn't too bad. How did it help him? PT Around and Find Out!

Picture this: A #wheelchairuser stuck in the wilderness - WWRD? Kelly throws some scenarios at Josiah in which he has to tell us how he would navigate them with his wheelchair. Some of these situations are made up, but some of them happened to us in real life! THAT'S JUST REAL LIFE.

While most people's biggest fears don't involve wheelchairs, our friend Jeff begs to differ. We have a special guest on today's episode in which we discuss going to the restroom in a #handicapped stall. What would happen if a Roller rolled in? Josiah is here to answer.

Let's go back... back to the beginning... of our podcast! We give you an update of all the new venues and bands we've seen since we recorded our 2nd and most listened to episode: "CONCERTS on Wheels: A Deep Dive." Most of the concert venues were good, but there are two that need MAJOR improvements to their #accessible sections...

Too many times, we find ourselves subconsciously comparing our lives with others, whether it's online or in person. Kelly's curious on how that affects Josiah, as he often gets his life compared to those without a disability. Are comparisons always bad or can they be healthy? What is the balance? WE NEED ANSWERS! #cerebralpalsy #disabilityawareness #disability #wheelchairuser #wheelchair

Enter The Story So Far.... Josiah discusses some of his blind spots due to being a wheelchair user. Then Kelly points out some of the things Josiah may not notice on her part of the friendship... like him yeeting himself down the mountain. *eyeroll*
