Our Ability: Disability in the Public Square is a first-of-its-kind daily podcast that applies a disability lens to mainstream news, entertainment, and public policy. Each episode takes one story from the day's news cycle and asks the question no one else is asking systematically:

"Where are people with disabilities in today's story — and how are we being framed?" - John Robinson

The show treats disability not as a niche personal issue but as a civic, mainstream subject — as central to public life as race, gender, or class.

    From Soap to Vintage License Plates, a New Disability Economy? | Pilot 1
    May 19 2026

    How is disability represented in society today? With over 20% of the world's population is individuals with disabilities, 20% of media coverage is not about people with disabilities. John Robinson and Blaise Bryant will discuss and reflect with humor and opinion what's going on today.

    From a new economy taking place in Colorado Springs, we discuss 'the efforts of Tony and Beth Feltman, co-owners of RM Soap Market and STORY by RM.' Additionally, we look at New York State, Senator Patricia Fahey, and introducing new legislation to create a Disability Innovation Fund.
