About this podcast
In our latest season "Unsaid, Untold." Chantelle Ellem, also known as Fat Mum Slim, in collaboration with aged care and disability service provider Feros Care tell the stories no one else tells. Give space to the people who haven't previously been heard. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's controversial. But it's ALWAYS passionate, interesting and ready to unravel a fresh conversation, shifting the way we see diversity and inclusion in Australia.
In our first season "Grow Bold with Disability" brought to you by Feros Care we highlight the real stories of people living a bold life with disability. Hosted by writer, editor and disability advocate Tristram Peters and journalist Pete Timbs, this podcast is a space for people to share their stories and have open conversations around disability.
Feros Care acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as First Nations peoples and custodians of the oldest living culture.
We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community, and pay our respects to elders past and present.
