Exploring the stories, policies, and global conversations affecting disabled people worldwide.
Welcome to the DisNewsYouKnow International Podcast. The aim of this sound capsule is to talk about global disability news, explore cross-border stories, and provide deep international analysis.
Although there are news outlets covering disability topics, disabled people and the international news that affects our lives are still vastly underreported. Generally, as many of us already know, we are underrepresented in global media. The aim of this podcast is a concerted effort to try and address this balance on a worldwide scale.

Disabled people are chronically underrepresented in mainstream international media, and the policies that directly impact our daily lives across borders are often glossed over or ignored entirely.
Hosted by Marlon Nyirenda, the DisNewsYouKnow International Podcast was created as a sound capsule to cut through the noise. We provide clear, insightful analysis on the global news stories and international frameworks that matter most to disabled individuals worldwide.
From tracking landmark recognitions of rights at record levels to launching global accessibility networks, we ask the tough questions. How are international treaties changing local accessibility? What can global communities learn from each other's disability rights victories?
Our mission is to keep you informed, highlight global community voices, and push back against media underrepresentation worldwide. Join Marlon as we explore global policies, international politics, and the people shaping international disability news.
