These topics are important to me because disability rights are civil rights and human rights, as well as an integral part of diversity. This podcast will further the importance of seeing the vital work of advocacy as an ongoing narrative… one that we can all play a part in shaping for the benefit of others. This show was created and hosted by Keith Murfee-DeConcini, a disability advocate.

Host Keith is back in the hot seat with Liv Mamone and Andrew Gurza, and this time, we’re digging into the \"lizard brain\" of dating. In this episode, the trio tackles the uncomfortable truth about internalized ableism—why we sometimes reject our own community in search of an able-bodied \"status symbol\" partner. Keith opens up about the 20-year journey it took him to feel \"man enough\" to date other disabled women, while Andrew and Liv share their wild experiences with disability fetishists and the \"smokescreen\" of dating.
