Our friend Marty Sobo has a new podcast, called: Code Orange on The Aftersight Network.

I recently partnered with 'Aftersight' - a Colorado based nonprofit organization that creates original podcasts and partners with other shows that highlight the disability community.

I'm looking forward to the exposure in the United States to help spread the word about individuals that are striving and thriving with their own disabilities, and other associates in this community.

Have a look at the Aftersight website to look for other podcasts related to disabilities that you may find informative, knowledgeable and inspiring.
Aftersight reminds us: 'If you can do it, do it'
