Summary

David Oliver Wudel is a extremely talented Canadian based queer artist who happens to have Cerebral Palsy. This week he gives the fellas a glimpse into the day in the life of someone who has CP. Chronic pain is the name of the game, but it wasn't always like this. We dive into the progression of David's disease and how it has slowly morphed over the years. How has it shifted David's perception on life and death? We also discuss the beauty of David's art and how art gives him a creative outlet to mentally process and cope with his illness. David is a shining bright light and we're so excited for you to listen to this episode!
