Unfortunately it has come to this…

Afternoon listeners, This is Odai speaking to update you on some news involving the podcast. To quash any immediate worries no we won’t be ending the podcast but we will be going on hiatus for this season.

Reason being is that i’m still sick and my condition hasn’t changed for the better or the worse and that is still making putting out episodes a really difficult challenge ontop of everything else.

I am hoping that my condition will improve within the new year and once i am better we will be able to get back to putting out episodes at a regular pace. Of course once i’m better it might be a bit staggered as healing takes time but it won’t be as scattered as it has been these last couple episodes.

With all said and done we here at Audible Autism and the Empire wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy new year and hopefully me getting better so we can get back on track and provide you with more of the quality episodes you’ve been enjoying these last 5 years!

Episode 32 – Autism and the police

Hello Listeners, this episode of Audible Autism will involve a discussion on a more serious topic than previous episodes and that issue being how to deal with or interact with the Police.
This episode guest Chris Hilliard discusses the lack of training the police tend to have, some of the ways in which they judge who they might suspect on being offenders using systems that the general public might not be aware of but also Chris also goes into detail with his own incident with the police during the 2010 Student protests which had to be taken to trial.
This episode was one of a few that was meant to come out last season before that was abruptly ended, but considering the current conversation regarding policing and the role of Police which as a Podcast based in the UK also involves the death of Chris Kaba we feel that the things discussed within this episode are still relevant and ontop of that will be addressing the issue from a British perspective while acknowledging certain events that have happened in the US.
 
We hope all of you who tune in find this episode informative, thank you

Episode 31 – Performing Arts with Annabell and Fay

On the latest episode of Audible Autism, Odai and Luke interview performers(stand up and poetry respectively) artists and all around good people Annabell and Fay.

Within this episode you get to hear a conversation that touches on not just being Autistic in their respective fields but also the perception on the number of performers with disabilities out there, the contradictions within the scene, inspirations and….spreadsheets.

As always we hope you enjoy this episode and find it informative.

A wellness announcement

Hello listeners, this is Odai speaking firstly i’d like to say thank you for sticking with the podcast thus far but i felt i had to put out this statement in regards to the delays in the new season.

To put a long story short, since around the tail end of September i’ve been gravely ill which my symptoms include, dizziness, shortness of breath, lack of strength, chest pain and feeling fatigued. That plus one or two specific personal events have heavily effected my health both mentally and physically.

Which is a shame because as the producer aswell as co-host I think we have some really good episodes and guests to share with the listeners but unfortunately my ability to manage things has been severely limited, so my sincerest apologies with how the new season has gone. I don’t exactly know what it is that i’ve got but i suspect it might be long Covid and i’ve visited my GP and my nearest hospital but overall my progress has been very slow much slower than i’d like.

I’d like to think we can still put out the rest of this seasons episodes but i don’t want to make any empty promises, hopefully this explains why the next episode release has been delayed.

Episode 30 – Autism and Social Media with Ian Lane

After much delay, blood, sweat and a dying laptop we now have the first episode of the new season of Audible Autism all set and ready to go. Our first episode is an interview with polymath Ian Lane about the highs and lows of navigating social media as an Autistic person.

Topics covered include :

  • Whether the internet has gotten bigger or smaller over time
  • Friendships, how they’re made and how they can be broken
  • and how “discourse” manages to change and yet stay the same

We think you’ll find this a very enlightening and entertaining episode
