Disability Deep Dive is a bi-weekly interview-based podcast hosted by Keith Casebonne and Jodi Beckstine. In each episode, we delve into issues of national and global importance to people with disabilities, such as accessibility, identity, discrimination, rights protections, voting, and much more.

Please note that the opinions of our guests are not necessarily those of Disability Rights Florida.

&lt;p&gt;In this inaugural episode of our rebranded podcast, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disability Deep Dive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, hosts Keith and Jodi introduce the new format and address the importance of discussing innovative ways to educate about disability through pop culture. Guest &lt;strong&gt;Kyle Romano&lt;/strong&gt;, a professor at the University of South Florida, shares his experience teaching a unique course on disability and pop culture, sharing with us the impact of representation in media on public perceptions of disability. The episode also features a new segment, &quot;This Week&#039;s Deep Cut,&quot; which spotlights the Hulu show &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ramy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for its authentic portrayal of disability through the character Steve Way, a disabled actor who brings genuine representation to the screen. The episode emphasizes the importance of real, lived experiences in shaping disability education and advocacy.&lt;/p&gt;
