How far would you follow someone? To the other side of the world, to the top of a mountain, into oblivion? Earshot's back and in our new seven-part season we're telling confessional stories of following. You'll meet a doomsday cult leader, a deathmatch wrestler, die-hard music fans and a mother trying to keep her daughter sane and safe online. Stories of the familiar to the unbelievable, the fascinating to the heartbreaking. Come follow Earshot and lose yourself completely.

Disability Action Week and International Day of People with Disability are a time to celebrate how far we've come in access, inclusion, and respect for people with disability. It's also a time to reflect on the work still to be done, to build a community where everyone is included and welcome, and their contributions recognised and valued.
Employment is one area where there's been a lot of work done, but still much more to go. Employment and entrepreneurship for people with disability brings the dignity of taking a calculated risk, the pride of a job done well, access to the community, and the freedom of financial independence.
In this episode we meet four people with disability who are turning their career dreams into reality: personal trainer Shane Falconer, journalist and radio producer Braeden Jason, freelance virtual assistant Justine Fox, and nature photographer Michelle Taylor-Holmes.
