Crip Café is a fortnightly live podcast hosted by The D*List where we figure out how to be disabled together in Aotearoa.
It's a space for our community to chat, scheme and share access hacks. Somewhere to get together and giggle over non-disabled people's nonsense and learn from each other. A reprieve from the ableist world. Catch us every two weeks on Wednesday afternoons, live on YouTube.
