Toxic Role Model

Jamie MacDonald: Life on the Blink

Available for over a year

Jamie MacDonald is a Glaswegian stand-up comedian who found himself rapidly going blind in his teens. Jamie examines pre-conceptions about disability, challenges stereotypes, and takes a hilarious trip down memory lane to see how far things have come. In this episode Jamie confronts stereotypes head on, from his disability to his national identity. He realises that he's in a position of privilege and has been deemed a role model by others - and it's not a position he relishes. Producer: Julia Sutherland A Dabster production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in May 2023.
