Our colleague and friend Michael McEwan will be the focus of a
BBC Radio Scotland documentary on how attitudes to disability have changed over the last four decades, called 'Disability with Attitude'. It will air on 3rd December at 07:30, to coincide with the
United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Michael celebrated his 40th birthday this year and wanted to find out how much we have moved on in society in attitudes towards people with a disability since 1983.
The show will also be available soon after on BBC Sounds, at the link below:
