Society & Culture
QuadPodcast is hosted by Bob Ness, a C-6 quadriplegic. The podcast is designed to inform, educate and entertain. Listen and learn about people with spinal cord injuries: We’re independent people who lead interesting lives. We’re all walks of life, nice people, jerks, funny, dull, partiers, teetotalers, doctors, lawyers, actors, musicians, etc. everything that makes people humans.

Thirty Five Years as a Quadriplegic

Bob Ness and Peter Soby compare notes about their very similar life experiences after 35 years as C-6 quadriplegics. Getting older as a quad isn't easy, but we definitely threw caution to the wind when we were younger and have had some fun through the years. Sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from cryin'.
