Ep14 Thomas Banks (comedian with cerebral palsy, medical marijuana, being independent, travel, Slut Song!)
Manage episode 318608496 series 3286491
Thomas Banks is a Melbourne comedian with cerebral palsy. This means that his speech and mobility are affected. He’s not always easy to understand, but I do always “translate” for you guys, and I encourage you to hang in there. It’s not often that you hear disabled people having their voice heard, particularly if they have a speech impediment. That is particularly why I interviewed him. He is outrageous, funny, full on and uncensored. I’ve known Thomas for a few years now, and I learned a lot more about him in this podcast – in depth stuff about what it’s like to be him. He tells us about his world, and it’s fascinating! We discuss The Slut Song during the podcast, particularly because Thomas is in the Slut Song video clip. So, I play you out with The Slut Song. Please check out the video clip on YouTube. If you could, please give this podcast a good rating on Apple or Spotify – much appreciated!
If you want to learn more about Thomas, please watch his documentary on Stan called Thomas Banks, Quest For Love.
