Disability Podcast Category

Since 2021 I have been highlighting via my social media accounts that there is no 'Disability' podcast category on Spotify (and other podcast platforms) and I think this needs to change. There are categories for mental health, sexuality, alt health + medicine which is great…but why not disability?

 

This is not an idea 'request' it's a need (and actually should be a requirement). If #InfluencerLife and niche sports can be categories then I think there's absolutely no reason why Disability shouldn't be.

 

My thread documenting my history of highlighting my concerns here: https://x.com/21andsensory/status/1639294034593062912?s=20

 

I note one other (closed) request back in 2021 that was similar: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Podcasts-DISABILITY-as-a-Podcast-Category-with-Subcate...

 

It's 2026. Disability representation matters and Spotify could be the first platform to take this step.
