Hi blog readers hope you are all feeling fab

Today I am posting a link to my Soundcloud page where I have posted my latest Unique Dyslexic BOOM three part podcast on dyslexia.

https://soundcloud.com/raelthing/sets/steve-mccue-the-life-dyslexic

The link will take you to my Soundcloud page.

Please leave any comments you may have they would all be much appreciated negative as well as positive.

I am now on by Christmas break from by dyslexia university work and from my broadcasting course. The broadcasting course has been going very well. 
Especially the podcasting because I have access to Adobe Audition to record and edit my podcasts. Podcasts are more accessible.

I would like to do more with the podcasting and I am researching ways to do that. Ideally I would like Adobe Audition at home but its outside my budget.

If anyone has any ideas about getting more involved in podcasting, on the cheap, lol because I have a very limited budget, I would be much appreciated.

Anyway that's enough for me for today

Peace, Love and Groovyness to all, #PeaceLoveGroovyness

Dyslexia: deficites, disorder and discrepancy? I dont believe so.....

me in the Boom radio station during the my Unique Dyslexic Boom radio broadcast

 Hi readers hope you are all feeling fab

Almost all new ideas are generated by individuals but they are given life by and nurtured by communities and the cultures they create.

If we are ever going to move away from a negative medical model of dyslexia that has nothing positive to say to dyslexics or about dyslexia. We, as dyslexics, need to come together and create a coherent global dyslexic community. A global dyslexic community that has a more positive social model of dyslexia vision. A vision which nurtures and values dyslexic diversity and difference and celebrates all that we have achieved and are still to achieve in the future.

We need to consign the medical model of dyslexia to history where it belongs because it has failed us as dyslexics. The medical model defines us in terms of deficits, disorder and discrepancy. Its a model that has nothing positive to say about dyslexia or to dyslexics.

The social model of dyslexia defines us by what we can do and achieve, it empowers us and it frees us from the negative medical model stereotype that tells us being dyslexic means we are disabled is some way.

That's why I believe that dyslexia is a difference that reflects diversity and that neuro diversity is as important as biodiversity. My organisation Dyslexia Pathways CIC was the first dyslexia focussed social enterprise in the world and we have embraced and promoted the social model of dyslexia.

Why not join us and let's create the global community and culture we are dyslexics need to move forward and enable our dyslexic kids to thrive and succeed.

Anyway many thanks for reading, you are invited to leave comments in the comments section.

Peace love and groovyness to you all #PeaceLoveAndGroovyness

My New Unique Dyslexic Radio broadcast on Boom Radio

Unique Dyslexic Boom Radio

Hi Blog readers hope you are all feeling fab:

That's me in the Boom radio studio on my live broadcast for my Uniqe Dyslexic broadcast. We had a technical issue just before I was due to go on air. Lol not good for my nerves. Took maybe 10 minutes to resolve. Still the broadcast went ok, sounds even better now I have edited it lol.

Still all in all considering it was my first time for real with the new equipment I managed ok. Even dropped in a couple dyslexia articles for good measure.

One article was about differences between social and medical models of dyslexia. The social model is one that is very close to my heart and one that is integral to my social enterprise Dyslexia Pathways CIC.

I decided to play music from the early 1970s from when I was a young teenager. Played a lot of glam, bit of Bowie, Elton John and Slade etc.

Of course it didn't all go to plan I made a few boo boos and on the whole it went ok. Especially when I edited it down. Not sure if I can actually put a link here to my Soundcloud page where I have uploaded the edited version of my show. My next broadcast will be Wednesday 07 December at 2pm UK time.

If you have a request or a question just message me and I will answer it on my next show.

Here are the larger versions of the photos from the montage above:

Anyway that's enough from me:

BOOOOMMMMMM Dyslexia lol

My first attempt at an advert for radio lol

Hi blog readers hope you are all feeling fab.

Had to make an advert for radio as part of my HND in Broadcasting course. Its my first attempt at something like this.

Was supposed to be only three different tracks mixed down into one. I ended up using six tracks.

Wish I had Adobe Audition at home for my pod casting and blogging etc. Pretty easy to use.

Just click on the blue link above and it will take you to my Sound cloud page.

I am in the middle of putting together an hour radio broadcast for next Wednesday lol. Oh dear this will be fun. Its going to focus on dyslexia and neuro diversity with a bit of 1970s music thrown if for good measure.


Peace Love and Groovyness to you all.

Hi  followers hope you are all fab

Some of you may remember I started an HND Broadcasting Course this year. Looks like I am going to be hosting my first live broadcast on the 20th November. The show is going to have a dyslexia focus and I am going to play a little 70s glam music. 

I know strange brew but hey what the heck its my show lol. However, if anyone wants to ask me a question, doesn't have to be on air please send me one. If anyone wants to be interviewed about being dyslexic please contact me. 

It would only be 10 minutes maximum and again does not have to happen on air. I can record one over the phone. If anyone one has a 70s glam tune to suggest let me know. As long as its on spotify and in good taste who knows you may get a dyslexic dedication on air lol.

I would actually make a series of 10 short recordings of interviews with dyslexics focussed on the positive.

Thanks for reading
