Some people fear disability and comedy. Not so our guest this month. Steven Verdile created the satirical website The Squeaky Wheel to create and publish funny stories with disability as a theme. 

Steven explains how the site came about, what inspired the name and how the growing team of writers wrote the material. An expanding and loyal readership means the site is thriving. It’s even been the answer to a US newspaper crossword clue.   

Making it sustainable is a wish of Steven’s. Making sure they push the boundaries of comedy but don’t step over the line of appropriateness is a frequent consideration. Making it professional and paying people is in the plan.   

Take a dive into some of the funniest headlines and then listen to the pod and find out what The Squeaky Wheel is all about.
