About This Podcast
SEND Backstage is where music chats meet real life.
Hosted by Jay, a young man who is blind, autistic and epileptic, this podcast brings you honest conversations about music, memories and what inclusion really looks like when you live it.
Each episode feels like you’re sat with Jay and a mate, talking road trip songs, memories, embarrassing moments, favourite playlists and the emotional tracks that stay with you. Mixed in is the real stuff. The highs and lows of SEND life, the assumptions people make and the moments that shape us.
You will hear from artists, families, friends and people with lived experience who are carving out space in the world of music and accessible events. Expect stories that make you laugh, stories that make you think and the kind of conversations you wish happened more often.
If you love music, care about inclusion or just enjoy a good natter, you are in the right place.
