In Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, we explore the role of family caregivers in the modern United States through personal stories and interviews with leaders. Care work is vital to all other aspects of life, yet often under-resourced. Caregivers cannot house and feed ourselves or provide for our own medical needs based on our love for our family members alone: access to income matters. We also have the same needs as other workers for regular time off, to participate in social life and recreation, and for ongoing education and new opportunities over time. email Lisa: lisatschudi@twosquaredmediaproductions.com

    Jul 30 2026
    We talk with Jenny Price about home and community based services for people with disabilities. We touch on the history of people with disabilities, what it took to gain the current levels of public support for care in the community as well as why so many people in the disability community are concerned about loosing such supports. We talk about why it is important for people to receive services in their choice of settings.

We talk about the planning and work that goes into kids with disabilities having ordinary(and extraordinarily beautiful) childhood experiences.
