Just A Spoonful

Robyn Lambird doesn't need your prayers, thanks! At the time of this interview, already an accomplished wheelchair athlete, public figure and the first visibly disabled adult to appear in a nationwide ad campaign in Australia, the 19-year-old is doing just fine. We chat about the amusing (and annoying) reactions people have to you when you're visibly disabled, going to stadium concerts in a wheelchair, and how things seem to be improving for people with disabilities in our lifetimes. Robyn was born with cerebral palsy and explains where the nickname "T-Rex" comes from. This is the first episode of the new season, after JASP's hiatus. This interview is one from the vault, from before I became too overwhelmed to keep doing this podcast, and I'm so glad I get to share it with you. Our chat was recorded in mid-2016, if you can even recall such a time. You can find Robyn on Instagram (@robynlambird) and YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/ATREXLIFE).
