In 2020 Derrick Jonas put a social media post up on a bushwalking site for information about wheelchair friendly options to head off-road into Tassie’s great outdoors.

That post opened a whole new set of adventures as well as an amazing friendship.

This is Derrick’s story.

Stories of Ability is a six-part City Park Radio podcast produced and hosted by Jodie Lowe.   

"When I came up with the idea for this podcast, the intention was to try to interview people with disabilities in a way that better captures who they are and their story.

I want this podcast to give the listener a stronger sense of people’s achievements, strengths, aspirations so that they can get to know their story on a much deeper level. 

I want to sincerely thank everyone interviewed for this podcast, Chris Ball from City Park Radio for wonderful support and assistance and the Community Broadcasting Foundation for its support.

I hope you enjoy See Me – Stories of Ability."

Jodie Lowe – Host and Producer



Supported by a Community Broadcasting Foundation grant, the series was recorded at the City Park Radio studios in Launceston in 2022.
