Life through a prism

Hello my name is Rob thanks for taking the time to find me and to listen to the podcast. I am from Australia 55 years old gay and disabled I live in a place called Launceston in a state called Tasmania. In this podcast we take a cup of disability news, a cup of lgbtqia+ a dash of pop culture, technology and shake it all together and see how it comes out of the oven. I hope your time we spend together is a sharing and learning experience for us both. Lets have a conversation.
