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?
