    So wonderful!
    I started listening to this podcast after acquiring a disability and having no disabled friends to support me through my adjustment. The Ouch team and their guests have taught me so much about being a disabled person. Every conversation is vulnerable, hilarious, and relatable. I’ve sent episodes to non-disabled friends, and they enjoy listening too. Thank you, Ouch!

    Amazing!
    Wonderful hosts. Great producing. My partner is disabled and this podcast has been a great resource and very informative. It's a must listen for all friends and family of people with disabilities.

    Changed my life
    Old episodes with Liz Carr and Mat Fraser are wonderfully blunt and comedic in their approach to serious and often taboo disability issues. They truly changed how I felt about my own disability and often articulated thoughts I had but could never quite communicate. The more recent years with different hosts, format, and tone are still fantastic. More informative and newsy than comedy but just as meaningful.

    One of my favorites!
    I've been listening since the days of Matt and Liz. I came to learn more about disability culture (I'm an OT and I thought it would be 'good for me' so I could 'better help others'), but I stayed because of the hilarious and irresistible banter between the hosts, as well as the truly honest, meaningful, and informative content. This podcast has really helped me to move out of the mindset that healthcare workers can easily get into - that people with disabilities are in need of us to 'fix' them, and that because I went to school and got a degree I'm somehow an expert on disability. Now I realize on a conscious level that those things are not true, and that it's my job to work WITH people to meet THEIR self-identified objectives, not what I think should be a priority. Thank you to Liz, Matt, Rob, Damon, Simon, Kate, Emma, Laurence, Beth, and everyone else whose names in forgetting at the moment. Please keep doing this!

    Just fantastic
    Endlessly entertaining and informative! The hosts are smart and funny and the topics are accessible and relatable whether or not you have a disability. I look forward to a new installment every week! Now go listen.

    Funny and relevant!
    The disabled community are horribly underrepresented in our society. It's so refreshing to hear relevant disability content presented in an entertaining way. Thank you!

    Wonderful podcast
    This has become one of my favorite podcasts. I've learned more than I ever expected & it's helped me learn to laugh & smile with myself. The best part is it's a little piece of community for me. Keep up the amazing work!

    You're On A Roll!
    I am glad I found you. For 15 years, I hosted an American nationally syndicated talk radio show on life and disability. We did it with humor, and irreverence, taking on issues such as civil rights, sexuality, transportation, employment, and the cultural connection of the disability community...the existence of disability pride! I ended the show in 2006 and I am so glad that you are doing what you do. I will send by entire following to your podcast. And I invite you to check out my new podcast "Timeout with the Strength Coach" and to be a guest!

    Best podcast ever
    This is the only podcast in the world that helps me feel less alone and it is humorous plus it makes people aware of disability more than any other public show in the world. A must for everybody!!
  • prunehilda
    Wicked and Clever!
    Fabulous, vibrant, sparkling, and naughty! Includes all my favorite breeds of humor: satire/political, socially-awkward tales, self-deprecating, verbal mixed-martial-arts, body(bawdy), scatological, miscellaneous taboo, and the occasional PUNishment. Fast-paced, full of variety, and often eye-poppingly honest.
  • TheDanR
    funnier than the liberal dems!
    Hilarious- disabled, not (yet) disabled, or "disabled" ( really just annoying)- you must listen. You'll laugh and maybe learn.
  • chokingplanet
    What a way to celebrate specialness!
    This podcast takes everything you already know about other people's concerns, turns it 127 degrees, and plops it right on top of anything you might personally be bothered with. It's very funny. That's always a good place to start. I don't want to be specific in compliments because the hosts, supporting players, guest hosts, guests, and performers are all fun, entertaining, and/or at least interesting. Of course, there is one unbelievable stand-out in the group. It's someone who delivers far and away the true meat and essence of the show. I'm sure that person is aware of their qualities, and is much, much too humble to want me to name them out. I'll just say: good job.

    Hilarious!
    Always makes me laugh, one of the funniest podcasts by far, on any topic.
  • NicoleWinters
    Wonderful!
    I always listen to this on my way to school and people think I'm a looney 'cos I'm always laughing out loud. Fanastic show, loads of humor. What also is great about this is that it has some touching stories without getting all Disney on us. Amazing! A must for anyone who wants some comedy on their iPod.
  • KansasRose

    Wicked funny
    I just discovered this show and I am loving it. I can't wait for the next show to come out. Whether or not one is disabled, it is just a fun show to enjoy.

    The BBC Ouch Podcast is Excellent!
    The BBC Ouch Podcast has quickly become my favorite podcast on iTunes. I cannot wait to hear the next episode. It has wonderfully dark humor with a wicked sense of fun. Very refreshing and inspiring. I highly recommend it. Indeed, I've told all of my friends about the Ouch Podcast. Keep up the great work. Your podcast brings a smile to my face each time I play an episode.
