  • Great listen for anyone dealing with a disability
    April 10, 2023 by jpars45 from United States

    I was able to meet Sean in Vegas at the annual ataxia conference this month for the National Ataxia Foundation. Let me just say that he is super nice. I love Kyle and Sean’s banter. The guests they they have on are relevant and knowledgeable I’ll learn a lot from this podcast!

  • So glad I found this
    February 18, 2022 by C Plummer from United States

    My grandson was recently diagnosed with FA. In my search for any and all information, I stumbled on this podcast. I have binge listened to years of episodes in the last few weeks, so Kyle and Sean now feel like family. I am so thankful to have found this podcast. It has been a tremendous source of information and hope.

  • A top favorite podcast
    October 5, 2020 by Blondiekkd from United States

    As a fellow rare disease patient advocate I can never thank Kyle & Sean enough for their entertaining advocacy. I’ve learned so much from listening to the Two Disabled Dudes Podcast. As a mother to a 9yo in a wheelchair, I’m grateful for this knowledge and how they’ve opened my eyes to challenges before us that we can crush. Carry on Kyle & Sean. I look forward to listening to forthcoming episodes. Gratitude.

  • Something to smile about
    October 5, 2020 by Justin31Dobr from United States

    If you are looking for a podcast to brighten your day, and to show you how to let difficulties in life roll off of your back, this is the podcast for you. These two young men have taken lemons, and turned them into a Cadillac margarita. They have learned through trial and error how to navigate a world with major hurdles. Their humility, and vulnerability is inspirational. And they’re funny too. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

  • Inspiring
    October 5, 2020 by Spanisheyes45 from United States

    Kyle and Sean are so inspiring with how they deal with having FA. They have done so much for the community and do all they can to spread information on this rare disease and what it’s like to live with it dat to day. The podcast is just another great thing they are doing that is also great to listen to whether you have FA or not.

    October 5, 2020 by Micaldunc from United States

    A family member has FA. It’s good to hear what two people are doing with their diagnosis-and sitting still is not it! Thank you Kyle and Shawn. Thank you for your perspective and work in driving research for a cure.

  • So encouraging
    December 3, 2019 by Fred Smother from United States

    My son was diagnosed with FA last year. We’ll often put on the podcast and just listen around the house on the wknd or in the evenings. Every time we listen to an episode it is a huge encouragement to keep pressing ahead.

  • Two Inspiring dudes!
    January 27, 2019 by beckysbuys from United States

    Listening to Kyle and Sean whether on their podcast or in person is always inspirational. These men have shown us how to do more with less, in other words they’ve done more than these two non disabled bodies! In their goal reviling episode Sean reminded us how to be “measurable” and accountable! Thanks for your words and encouragement!

  • Five star podcast
    December 23, 2018 by lacativo52 from United States

    October 6, 2018 by Sammysue896453 from Australia

    Having FA too, I can relate so much to all these stories which makes me not feel so alone. At the same time it makes me laugh.

  • Humor & Grace
    October 6, 2018 by Eggerator from United States

    Kyle & Sean interview some amazing people. Each time they are well prepared and are thinking on their feet with insightful questions. What makes each podcast truly great is their friendship & banter with each other. They openly share their stories and perspectives with humor and grace . They offer optimism and aren’t afraid to poke fun at themselves. Each podcast feels like it’s 5 minutes, but each 45 minutes or so provides insight and inspiration.

  • Love this podcast!
    October 6, 2018 by kaceymarie3 from United States

    Very informative, encouraging, and inspiring! Kyle and Sean do an excellent job and this podcast is really enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend it!

  • Real people, real lives, real relatable
    October 5, 2018 by khuck14 from United States

    As a parent of a disabled child, I find the podcast both informative and uplifting. Kyle and Sean remind me in every episode that a disability diagnosis doesn’t mean the end of the world. They are living such awesome and meaningful lives and, let’s be honest, probably having way more fun than the rest of us. They crack me up! They are so much fun to listen to and the variety of guests is great. Even if you are not disabled or connected to the disabled community in any way, you will relate to the perspectives they reveal while sharing about the unique challenges they and others with disabilities face. We’re all overcoming something and these guys do it with grace and a wicked sense of humor.

  • You dudes rock!
    October 5, 2018 by Liz Gehr from United States

    Keep up the great work! It’s a pleasure to spend time with you, virtually & otherwise.

  • Fantastic
    October 5, 2018 by MattthewF from United States

    A podcast with just Kyle and Sean would be reason enough to subscribe, but the guests they bring in are awesome. Great, inspiring and very funny podcast regardless of your situation. Kids also get a lot out of it.

  • FAntastic podcast!
    October 5, 2018 by Team desTroy from Australia

    September 13, 2018 by Erika at Miracle Flights from United States

    Thank you, Sean and Kyle, for inviting Levi Krystosek and Mark Brown from Miracle Flights to be on the show (episode 049). It was so much fun---a fantastic experience for them and a tremendous honor and privilege for our entire organization to be a part of the incredible work you do!

  • Worth every minute
    May 23, 2018 by rolfhill from United States

    Two of my three girls have FA and this is what led me to this podcast. Sean and Kyle have a fun way of discussing many aspects of living with FA or other disabilities. I look forward to every episode and am So thankful that they are raising awareness. Keep up the great work Sean, Kyle, Jake and all those involved!

  • Two Funny Dudes
    March 17, 2018 by T | A | H from United States

    Kyle and Sean are authentic and unique guys who inspiring and hysterical...! They sound a little drunk, but they’re not - in fact the insights and stories provide a lucid and entertaining look into the world of living with Friedreichs Ataxia. These guys raced their bikes across the United States in 9 days...check out their doc The Ataxian...subscribe and have a few laughs while gaining understanding of the power of humanity.

    March 13, 2018 by ojasvi chaudhary from United States

  • Inspiring discussion on many levels
    February 6, 2018 by Deliberate Living from United States

    Listening to this podcast I am constantly reminded not to take ANYTHING for granted. These guys are hilarious and genuine. They let it all hang out. Good, bad, and ugly. It’s all life, and it all matters. Great podcast. Would love to hear and see more from these guys.

  • Always An Inspiring Message
    November 26, 2017 by TtotheBone123 from United States

    These guys are great! The podcast is so much more than simply a show about disability. Their humorous and enlightening outlook on life, and living with urgency, is sure to resonate with many people. Their discussions speak to our common humanity and the implications of the decisions we make. Their messages are always thought-provoking and inspiring.

  • Two Positive, Awesome Dudes!
    October 5, 2017 by CPConstantlyVaried from United States

    If you ever need some perspective on life and a good laugh, listen to these guys. Other people in their situation could be pessimistic and cynical (with good reason!) but these two are the most positive and witty podcasters out there. Super impressed with them, keep it up!

  • Two Awsome Dudes
    October 5, 2017 by BarryByrne from United States

  • Crazy taxis, evil cats
    August 31, 2017 by Facebook fan x 200 from United States

    Abbott and Costello, Farley and Spade, Christmas and Dunne, and now... Bryant and Baumstark. I'm still trying to figure out who's the straight man. Whether it's a crazy taxi driver or feral in their kitchen, these two dudes make learning about the disabled community fun. They navigate some pretty serious subjects while breaking it up with stories and their quirky sense of humor. The large variety of guests keeps me coming back for more. Looking forward to the next one!

  • Should be called Two Awesome Dudes
    June 20, 2017 by sackingsjessa from United States

    Really great insight to living with a disability and how to push beyond. Fun and effortless conversation. Funny and charasmatic dudes. A postive and encouraging podcast for all. Keep up the great work!

  • Amazing podcast
    May 6, 2017 by Sput-nick-nick from Australia

    Really loving this podcast. Great to hear Sean and Kyle talking about how life is more about how you react than what happens to you and really facing up to their disease. Amazing to hear their stories and really feel like you are part of their conversation and journey.

  • Wonderful podcast
    April 1, 2017 by Megfiona from United States

    Kyle and Sean have such an effortless way about their conversations. They are funny, informative, inspirational, and genuine. I very much enjoy listening to and supporting this podcast. And I'll keep trying to contact people at Uber or Lyft to sponsor you. 🙂 Thanks for doing such great work!

  • Inspirational, optimistic
    March 29, 2017 by Teroid from Australia

    This podcast is great. Two things stand out for me so far: 1. Sean and Kyle talking about dealing with diagnosis very openly and honestly and concluding that by being involved in raising awareness of FA "I take control of my FA. It no longer controls me." 2. Your life is defined 10% by things that happen outside your control and 90% by how you respond. I look forward to hearing more pearls of wisdom!

  • Inspiration
    March 9, 2017 by JMStaub from United States

    Love these guys; they're a must listen for anyone living with a disabling condition, and an example for all.

  • Such a positive perspective!
    February 1, 2017 by Monica-colorado from United States

    I love these guys and I am so happy to have found their podcast. I love their attitude about traveling despite mobility challenges. My husband has MS, and while I think we have a can-do attitude, we have a lot to learn from Kyle and Sean.

  • It is life!
    January 29, 2017 by MiniMe_Sar from United States

    This has truly helped me and my husband with his diagnosis. He wanted to ignore it for a very long time and hearing how you both handled your news was so great! Knowing people with disabilities (and in our case, THIS one) and hearing they lead normal lives is so refreshing instead of all they are told they CAN'T do! Love how it covers things that happen everyday and how different people cope.

  • Makes us feel understood
    January 26, 2017 by Chollingsworth62 from United States

    Really enjoying this podcast from Kyle and Sean. They inspire all people. Everyone can take away a lesson in life from them.

  • The Unspoken Truth
    January 23, 2017 by Avery Zaritsky from United States

    I listened to this in the car this morning while driving my kids to school. By the time we got there, we were all laughing and they said "pause it, play the rest at pick up! We want to hear it!" Its so nice to know I'm not fighting the disabled battle alone and it gave me and my family back some tolerance! Very inspiring, keep up the conversation!!!

  • Smart, funny, caring, informative
    January 22, 2017 by hbredfeather from United States

    I love this podcast! I really appreciate the honest, open sharing that is peppered with laughter & good information about navigating the world for those with (and without) disabilities. The Welcome episode really sets the stage for what Kyle & Sean are facing with FA and it also reveals a friendship that is fun to listen in on. I've listened to the next 3 episodes so far & enjoyed them all - it's helping me with how I view myself and others in the world. We all face challenges and struggles. The hosts encourage us all to live better in each moment, yet apply compassion when we each may stumble. This podcast is a bright spot and motivation to "live with urgency" as a Kyle & Sean do. Thanks dudes!

  • Real people
    January 19, 2017 by Famlw from United States

    As an able-bodied individual, I find this podcast so helpful and genuinely interesting. Kyle and Sean's stories of their real life experiences have helped me see their challenges from a different perspective.

  • Thumbs up - A1
    January 17, 2017 by BarryRice80 from Ireland

    Loving this podcast. Relaxed, frank and often funny conversation about the challenges and nuances of living life with a disability. Have listened to 4 episodes and it's now my favourite podcast. Keep up the good work lads. BR

    All 4 sessions are great!

  • Brilliantly uplifting
    January 8, 2017 by Adam Griffies from United Kingdom

    As someone with FA myself, listening to this has been amazing. Such a great insight into life with Friedreich's Ataxia, or maybe any other disability. Would definitely recommend listening.

  • Add this to your playlist!
    January 2, 2017 by Howard Hess from United States

    Meet Kyle and Sean, two dudes who suffer from Friedreich's Ataxia (FA). Unfamiliar with FA? Doesn't matter. Give 'em a listen. You won't find two more genuine and likeable guys out there. Amongst their friendly banter and casual conversation, you'll find insight, inspiration, and encouragement... all this and more from a couple of guys who don't let their disability define what they can and cannot do.

  • Your new favorite podcast. For real.
    December 13, 2016 by EMagone from United States

    If you don't already know Kyle, level yourself up and do some research. One of the most amazing humans I've been fortunate to encounter. This is just the latest layer of his epic legacy in the world. <3

  • Awesome perspective on disability.
    December 13, 2016 by Matt Lafleur from United States

    Gives some much-needed brevity to the lives of people with disabilities. Doesn't try to be showboating or sugary inspirational. Just genuine. 2 dudes talking over Skype about their lives, which tends to be affected by a rare disorder they share, Friedreich's ataxia. Poignant. Can't wait for more episodes.

  • So relatable
    March 6, 2024 by Sharon R1tr from United States

    I have cerebellar ataxia and what I love most about this podcast is hearing two people who speak like I do talking about topics that I 100 percent identify with. It’s hard to find that when you have a rare disease. Great job, guys!
