Our Mission
The mission of The Handicapable Podcast and its companion site is to raise awareness about the disability community. As one of the most marginalized groups in society, it is important to spread awareness of the issues they face and educate the public. While awareness and education are important, that is not our only goal. Another goal is to inspire those in the disability community to get out there, be yourself, and chase your dreams because nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.
Changing the world, one story at a time
