If you are brand new to the podcast then let me explain what all the hype is about. If you listen to The Unsyted Radio then you will know how much I love doing interviews.

Welcome one and all to a brand new segment here on The Unsyted Radio. The Water Cooler was created out of my desire to talk about topics outside of the disability realm. The goal of The Water Cooler is to host uncensored and open ended conversations with individuals within the disability community. However, said conversations do not need to be rooted in our advocacy. The Water Cooler aims to make people look at disability in a more personal manner. I am trying to spotlight the various advocates, companies, and disabled people by sharing things about themselves that they almost never get to share with others. If you are looking for a formal podcast then I advise you look elsewhere. The Water Cooler is completely uncut, unedited, and one hundred percent raw. So if this podcast sounds like your cup of water then grab a glass and stay hydrated off of the conversations we are about to have. In episode one I sit down with Tony of the See Saw Podcast to talk with him about the various things we like and dislike, which growing up made us feel like we were living outside of the matrix. A lot of spicy thoughts on topics such as Anime, Video Games, Music, and Sports. Make sure to follow the See Saw Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. Additionally, make sure to follow them on social media by searching See Saw Podcast or visit their website at https://www.seesawpodcast.com.
