Different Not Less - Real People, Real Ability Podcast Ep3 - James and mate Jacob Carroll
https://youtu.be/6ZG-ZeE8oMc

In this inspiring and entertaining episode of Different, Not Less, James sits down with his long-time mate Jacob Carroll for a conversation about friendship, disability, independence, and everything in between.

From their school days as two of the first students with disabilities to serve on their school's leadership committee, to navigating life as young adults, James and Jacob reflect on the challenges, achievements, and funny moments that have shaped their journey.

Jacob shares his experiences living with cerebral palsy, what people often misunderstand about disability, and how he has developed a strong sense of independence. He opens up about managing his own supports, travelling away from home, building confidence through sport, and giving back to the community through volunteering.

The conversation also explores family life, friendships, basketball, relationship advice, and the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, stories, and good-natured banter between two mates who have known each other for years.

Most importantly, Jacob offers valuable insights for young people with disabilities who want to become more independent, while reminding us all that disability does not define what a person can achieve.

A heartfelt, honest, and uplifting conversation that proves being different is not a limitation—it's a strength.

Different, Not Less. Real people. Real stories. Real ability.

Rev Jim - Bondi and the aftermath - Guest Adam Smith

In this powerful and timely episode of The Devil Dodger, Rev Jim is joined by Producer Shane (Iron Monarch Studios) and special guest Adam Smith for a candid conversation in the wake of the tragic violence at Bondi, an event that has shaken Australians well beyond Sydney.

With compassion at the forefront, the discussion focuses on unity over division, empathy over suspicion, and the importance of standing together as a community in the face of hate. The episode also explores difficult but necessary topics, including public safety, prevention, accountability, and what happens behind the gates when an alleged offender enters custody, examining corrective services processes, high-security detention, and the realities of incarceration.

As the conversation develops, the panel also tackles broader questions around fi****ms access, policy responses, and the role of government in protecting communities, while reinforcing a clear message: Australia has no room for terrorism or ideologies that target innocent people.

This is a raw, thoughtful, and deeply human discussion, one grounded in grief, resolve, and a determination to protect the Australia we know: open, fair, and united.
