About The Game Plan: A Disability Rights California Podcast

The Game Plan, DRC’s flagship podcast, is a space to strategize, organize, and posterize for the future of the disability rights movement. Join host Eric Harris as he has conversations with luminaries who are deeply connected to disability and passionate about moving forward together. It’s not quite a sports podcast, not your average disability discussion, but something in between. We hope you will subscribe, rate, review, and join us!

In honor of May Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re proud to present Eric’s conversation with Jason Robison, the Director of Advocacy at SHARE!, the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange. SHARE is a very special and impactful peer-run organization in Los Angeles County. Together, the two discuss Jason’s 30-year journey in recovery from drug abuse and mental health, they talk about how the peer-to-peer model is an antidote to shame, and break down how the CARE Act is a step in the wrong direction for California. Jason brings his sage-like energy to everything he does, from mental health and recovery advocacy to gardening, creative writing, and surfing. This episode is one big wave, and we hope you enjoy the ride. Links: * SHARE!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
