A podcast at the margins of disability representation
Welcome!
Invalid Culture, hosted by Erika and Jeff, is a podcast dedicated to excavating the strangest and most baffling representations of disability in popular culture. This podcast is all about staring into the abyss of pop culture adjacent media that never quite broke through because, well, they’re just awful.
