Description

Devon's Jude Hamer was meant to be spending 2020 in Tokyo, competing at her third consecutive Paralympic Games as part of Britain's wheelchair basketball team.

Instead, she's still in the UK - training on her own and, amongst other things using her love of sewing to make kit for frontline NHS workers, all as a result of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

It all means Jude has a little bit of spare time on her hand – and we’re delighted she’s used some of it to have a chat with us for a brand-new episode of the podcast.

There’s so much in this episode –finding a sport you love when you have a disability; why ‘fitting in’ can be overrated; testing the water when it comes to coming out; educating yourself to become a better ally to others; life after sport; and of all things, The Great British Sewing Bee!

We really, really enjoyed this episode – and we think you will as well.
