About This Podcast

QuadPodcast is hosted by Bob Ness, a C-6 quadriplegic. The podcast is designed to inform, educate and entertain. Listen and learn about people with spinal cord injuries: We're independent people who lead interesting lives. We're all walks of life, nice people, jerks, funny, dull, partiers, teetotalers, doctors, lawyers, actors, musicians, etc. everything that makes people humans. Hopefully you'll meet some or all of them…well, meeting all would be impossible, but at least you'll hear some conversations that are at times humorous, illuminating, heartbreaking and uplifting about day-to-day life as a wheelchair user.
