This episode tackles real issues faced by real Australians with disability starting on the train platforms of Melbourne. Disability advocate and journalist Zoe Simmons hits the rail network in Banyule to uncover just how uneven
accessibility can be from station to station and why these barriers are still stopping people from living independently. It’s a powerful reminder that access isn’t optional, it’s essential.
We also flip the camera around to spotlight one of our own: beloved host Brandon Johns. From pouring lattes to delivering the stories that matter, we explore his journey both behind the counter and behind the mic.
Then, we wrap up the episode with raw energy and big emotion as the slacker-punk powerhouse SAMMM shares his personal path through addiction and homelessness, and takes the stage for a massive live performance. It’s an episode about voice, visibility and turning lived experience into impact.
