2023/08/20

Episode Notes E336 is another one of my favourite series, “What Would Happen If You Became Disabled Tomorrow?” where I ask non-disabled folks (usually adult film stars) to consider how their lives would change so that we can combat ableism. This time I spoke to the adorable porn star Teddy Wilder. He really dove into this hypothetical with grace, humor, hotness and more! Enjoy!

Episode Notes Outside of Disability, I love everything Paranormal and spooky, and also true crime! It is absolutely my favorite genre.

I like that it veers away from disability a little, and is a fun thing to do. So, if you want to share a story or two, please e-mail andrew@andrewgurza.com using the subject line:
