Access All: Disability News and Mental Health - I Need to Sit Down

Transport for London are trialing a badge which asks travellers to give their seats to passengers with invisible mobility impairments. Alan Benson from campaign organisation Transport For All gives us the background, and we find out what happened when presenter Kate Monaghan wore it on the tube.

In Bite Me, a one-woman show about having therapy for bulimia, Joanne McNally ‘s eating disorder physically manifests itself as Louis Walsh. The Dublin-based comedian talks us through the nuts and bolts of the illness and describes her journey from binging and purging all day every day, to being in recovery and sharing the funny side of her “dark” and “scary” experience.

Jack Binstead joins us with his social media update, and there’s music by blind singer songwriter Joe Kenny.
Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty present.
