Down to the Struts is a podcast where we uncover the building blocks for a more accessible, inclusive, and equitable world for all disabled people. Host Qudsiya Naqui brings together activists, scholars, artists, athletes and more to share their wisdom about how we can reimagine policies, practices, and the built environment to center disabled bodies and the intersectional identities they hold.
