Also, In this episode, I talk about life beyond a LD.  In doing so, I share an interview with Joe Sales (http://joesalesblog.wordpress.com/) about learning disability, pro-life, and respect.  Joe shares with us about his remarkable birth story, how his learning disability has affected his years in school and how he has overcome barriers in life; Joe shares with his about the types of keynote speeches and presentations that he gives for self-advocacy conferences across Ontario; as we switch gears to the vitally important pro-life issue, he discusses the importance of being pro-life and he value of life; Joe shares how pro-life has become a part of his life; then shares with his about his testimony video that can be found on youtube; and then he tells how about how we can connect with him online.  Joe mentions about how we should look at someone with a disability as a person first and the disability second. After the interview, I tell share with you how you should continue to spread the word to end the word and how everyone can make a difference to end the hateful use of the word "retard(ed)" and to take the pledge at r-word.org. In the news segment, I share with you about our new logo, designed by Joe Sales.  Then I share with you about a feature story that I read in the Chicago Tribune about the Special Gifts Theatre in Chicago (http://specialgiftstheatre.com/). Then, I share with you an "on the street" movie review of The Blind Side, as I share some first impressions and review right after walking out of the theater. In our feedback segment, I read some e-mail feedback I've received and highly encourage you all to leave voice feedback and write reviews on the iTunes store. Then, I play a promo for Capt. Jeff's Catholic Pilot Podcast (http://catholicpilot.com/); and also promote the Star Quest Production Network (SQPN) (http://sqpn.com/) and the upcoming 3rd annual Catholic New Media Celebration (CNMC) on August 7, 2010 in Boston (http://celebration.sqpn.com/).
