As I announced yesterday in a brief episode of the Disability.TV, I have decided to "reboot" the podcast. It will start November 30 with a discussion of one of my favorite episodes of The West Wing, dealing with President Bartlett's Multiple Sclerosis. Episodes will go up monthly, and each one will focus on either a TV episode dealing with disability, or on a disabled character on a TV show.

I hope it will be a lot easier and a lot less tedious discussing these smaller bites of TV shows. Usually, disability makes the biggest impact on TV in specific moments, and with a few standout characters ... another reason I think this might be a better approach.

If you are interested in disability on television, please have a look at this list of topics. Let me know which ones you would look forward to the most, and whether there are other episodes and characters you would suggest.

Even better, if you would like to join me for a discussion on the podcast, or maybe send in some written or audio comments, please do let me know so we can set it up.

Here is the list of topics I have so far:

The Cage / Menagerie Conundrum

Star Trek, The Original Series

S. 1, E. 1 and S. 1, E. 11 & 12: “The Cage” & “The Menagerie Parts I and II”

Calling The Klingon Kevorkian

Star Trek: The Next Generation

S. 5, E. 16: “Ethics”

Advocate Or Asshole?

Star Trek: Deep Space 9

S. 2, E. 6: “Melora”
