Hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast. My name is Brooke McCallory.

My name is Ben McAllery. Welcome to episode four. We're halfway through the season. Maybe. I don't know.

Look, there's probably going to be nine episodes this season, so we're almost halfway.

There you go. It's wonderful to be here.

It is. It's lovely to be here. Thank you so much for the great support people are having for the show.

We really, really appreciate it.

Absolutely.

There's been lots of really wonderful comments and conversation around the first few episodes

of the season, particularly my conversation with you, dear Ben.

Yeah, it's been really heartwarming, actually. Yeah, it has been very

nice. So thank you. I'm very glad that you, who is listening, is listening.

Yeah. Well done, Brooke. In today's episode, you speak with a first timer for the show. Yes.

A wonderful, kind of like an extraordinary human being.

Yes, I would definitely describe her as an extraordinary human being.

It's actually someone that you put me in touch with.

Her name is Hannah Divany.

And Hannah is a writer, a very, very wonderful writer, and a disability rights advocate. She's also the editor-in-chief

of a publication called Missing Perspectives, and she's someone that you met through some work

that you've been doing recently with a different podcast. Yeah, absolutely. So I've been working

with the Cerebral Pauzy Alliance on a new podcast called Cerebral Conversations,

which I host with a very good friend of mine, Andy McLean.

A friend of the show.
