Episode 4: The record beyond sport

Episode 4: The record beyond sport

For some Paralympians, a gap remains between the way they are treated at the games and at home. Even for non-athletes, the Paralympics can seem very distant from disability day-to-day. Episode four of Unbroken looks at what the Paralympics has - and hasn’t - achieved for people with disability.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Episode 3: Money and the media

Money and the media, and improved access to both, has revolutionised the Paralympic movement. Episode three of Unbroken looks at how greater exposure of the Paralympic movement has changed the lives of people with disability more broadly.

Episode 2: Classy issues

Cheating at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics rippled far beyond the cheaters. The sporting careers of completely blameless champions were left in tatters. The scandal revolved around the thorny issue of athlete ‘classification’. In episode two of Unbroken, Annabelle talks to athletes and administrators about what’s gone wrong, how to get it right – and how technology could unleash a new wave of classification confusion.    See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Episode 1: Origins and impact

When Annabelle Williams was 10, a kid at her school made fun of her for only having one arm. But with the right support, her disability is something she's grown to be immensely proud of.  In Episode One of Unbroken, the gold-medal winning swimmer uncovers the history and impact of the Paralympic movement, and what it has (and hasn't) achieved for people with disability and beyond.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
