Contra* is a podcast about disability, design justice, and the lifeworld. Episodes will feature interviews, analyses of the built environment, reviews, and more.

This season, they're sharing oral history interviews from the Remote Access Archives, a project that's a digital archive of the way that disabled people and communities have used technology for remote participation over the years.

The most recent podcast episode features a conversation with Corbett O’Toole, a white, queer, disabled elder, artist and author, who discusses the significance of remote access technologies over the past few decades – from her role in the polio community to the early disability rights movement to disability justice today.

You can listen to the podcast episode below. Transcripts for Contra's episodes are available here.
