“The Invisibility of Disability” - The Jennifer Kretchmer Interview Part 1

This week! Jeremy Cobb and Candace the Magnificent are joined by Jennifer Kretchmer, a multi-talented writer, producer, actor, consultant, and tabletop creative whose work spans storytelling, performance, and game design. The Halflings explore how Jennifer’s writing, acting, and lifelong nerdiness came together to form her creative origin story, and how her own disability became a driving force behind her passion for disability advocacy. Together, they discuss the perception of disability in the US, the discrimination the disabled community continues to face, and how these experiences shape both creative work and everyday life. The episode also looks at how players and GMs can thoughtfully approach disability at the table when playing tabletop roleplaying games, setting the foundation for a deeper discussion to come in part two.
