Cazbarr Bites Back: Recent Episodes
cazbarr
I’m Cazbarr, a full-time electric wheelchair user, (yes I have passed my test and no, I won’t run over your toes)! Seriously though, I did have to take a wheelchair driving test and proud to say I passed with flying colours. Something that ALL wheelchair/scooter users should have to do.
I was born with Arthrogryposis. My disability affects mostly my arms, legs, shoulders and back. I also suffer from Scoliosis, so I’m in a lot of pain daily. My podcasts will discuss life with a disability. What barriers do I face in my daily life and if I feel anything could be done to change this, this may include reviews of products/services that I have done in the process. (I am not affiliated with any of them).
Hopefully, I will keep you entertained and informed about disability life and all that goes with it. If you would like to find out more about me, why not visit my website (cazbarr.co.uk) or drop me an email.
Until next time, take care and look after yourselves and each other.
When a company/venue etc advertises as accessible but fails to explain how. I move on to the next company website.

As wheelchair users, we must make many arrangements and do plenty of research wherever we wish to go. We have complete strangers lean on our chairs, hang shopping on our chairs and let's not get started about people walking while on their phones or not being able to walk in a straight line.
I talk about these and many more.....
As a full-time wheelchair user, leaving parcels outside my front door prevents me from leaving my home. In this episode, I explain this in more detail.
UK Hotels No Accessible Family Rooms! Some hotels are willing to make reasonable adjustments while others do not. Not offering accessible family rooms, or any reasonable adjustments is in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
My Facebook Group brings awareness to this and hopefully gets hotels to start offering disabled families what they already offer non-disabled families.......

Do reality shows portray disabled people in a bad light. I talk with Jeff to find out more.
This podcast talks briefly about my disability Arthrogryposis, my joints and lack of movement I have. I also explain what the majority of my podcast will be about.
I am sick and tired of keeping my mouth shut!! I now speak out about the unjust way companies can treat disabled people, products being inflated in price because they are classed as a "disability aid", inaccessibility that by law should not be happening.
I have come to BITE BACK!!!!! You have been warned!!
