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.

Do we need to say more? Apparently so... because we did a whole episode on it! Unfortunately both the Roller and the Stroller have chronic pain, so here's how we deal with it. It isn't easy! #cerebralpalsy #disabilityawareness #disability #wheelchairuser #wheelchair

Josiah describes what his self-talk sounds like and how it's affected by being in a wheelchair. Sometimes self-worth just needs a little self-work. :) #cerebralpalsy #disabilityawareness #disability #wheelchairuser #wheelchair

Josiah the Last Wheelbender has entered the chat! Today we talk about what it's like for a wheelchair user to face the elements of nature. Snow, ice, mud, storms, heat, all of the above can affect the way he moves through the world... and also affects his body aches. With a state like Colorado, it definitely is a wheely big task! #cerebralpalsy #disabilityawareness #disability #wheelchairuser

Josiah has been asked many times in his life if people can pray over his disability. But this particular man might have really gone too far. Today we dive into a recorded conversation between Josiah and a man who approached him, feeling called to tell Josiah he didn't have big enough faith - and that's the reason he can't walk??? It's interesting.

Guess who's back, back again! Let's talk media - specifically how wheelchair users are portrayed in movies and tv shows. Usually they're used as inspirational pieces, feel-good stories, or even the butt of the joke, so can we please break that trend? We're kind of bored of seeing the stereotypical wheelchair user story in media, so we came up with a GENIUS zombie apocalyptic idea for a movie, starring the oh-so-handsome roller, Josiah. Hollywood, call us.
