About this listen

Adaptive AF is the podcast where disability runs unfiltered. Hosts EJ (Elliott) and Dave laugh through the chaos of disabled life while dragging the uncomfortable stuff into the open and answering the questions people are usually too afraid to ask. From hospital sagas and campus disasters to well-meaning people who completely miss the mark, they talk about disability the way it actually is—not the sanitized “inspiration porn” version. If it’s part of disabled life—the good, the exhausting, and the ridiculous—they’re covering it loudly, honestly, and with zero filters.

    For decades, voices like Ed Roberts and Judith Heumann have been fighting to change the conversation around disability—now EJ and Dave are picking up the baton. Adaptive AF is unfiltered, unapologetic, and hilariously honest: myths get smashed, chaos is laughed at, and disability finally gets its spotlight.
