This podcast takes the ‘dis’ out of disability. Each episode features a person with a different disability, and explains their condition, misconceptions, and how they have transformed through music. It works to use music as a tool to bring awareness and end the stigma behind people with disabilities. In this episode, Jacob Smith, a young man with Trigeminal Neuralgia, highlights how he found a sense of purpose in life through music. Through playing and composing music, Jacob was able to create something with the chronic pain he felt, rather than be tortured by it. To hear more about Jacob’s story, check out the podcast below!
