In this week’s episode I sat down with George Kashap. George is a little person and someone I have been friends with for nearly a decade if not longer. We examine the requirement, as little people, to constantly adapt, what it meant to say we were a little person in our childhood and teenage years vs. now as adults, the help and harm labels can cause and much, much more.

Emily Hanks On Project Runway And Disability...Or Lack Thereof

In this episode I sat down with Emily Hanks. Emily is a content creator and host of the podcasts She Speaks Bravo, where she talks about all things Bravo from Housewives to Vanderpump Rules and everything in between, and She Speaks It All, where she talks about great television from other networks. This conversation was a fun one centered around one of our favorite shows Project Runway, now in its All Star Season. We discuss the evolution of the show from Season one to now, our thoughts on Season 20 so far, how the show has progressed in regards to diversity of models and clientele, and the fact that it still has quite a ways to go in regards to disability representation and advocate for change. And we tried our best, but there will be spoilers.
