C OLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina ETV (SCETV) and Public Radio (SC Public Radio) today announced plans to launch a new podcast called De-escalating Disability. With the first of four episodes premiering on Thursday, February 4, the network will publish a new episode each subsequent Thursday through the end of February. Hosted by Gavin Jackson, De-escalating Disability aims to explore the intersectionality of race, policing and disability – specifically, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The podcast will include audio from incidents that have taken place both here in South Carolina and around the country, involving members of law enforcement and individuals with ASD. It will also feature interviews with police officers, legal professionals and other subject matter experts, breaking down the myths surrounding ASD and examining what police may or may not be doing when responding to those with disabilities.
