Episode #03 - Emma Payne

Emma Payne is a dementia engagement specialist, music therapist, and founder of Happi Hive.

Ronan is a passionate disability advocate, and friend of the show. Listeners may also know him from Love On The Spectrum. Plus the debut of Blind Mike's Winge - where he complains, so you don't have to!

In the very first episode of DF101, Mel is joined by good friend Blind Mike from the Sydney pop-punk band The Oh Yeahs. As a gigging musician, Mike has no shortage of stories from pubs, clubs, and venues that fail to recognise his blindness, mistaking it for drunkenness or flat out refusing to believe him.
