What makes each podcast truly great is their friendship & banter with each other. They openly share their stories and perspectives with humor and grace .

October 5, 2018 by khuck14 from United StatesAs 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!

- Crazy taxis, evil cats
August 31, 2017 by Facebook fan x 200 from United StatesAbbott 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!

June 20, 2017 by sackingsjessa from United StatesReally 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 AustraliaReally 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 StatesKyle 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 AustraliaThis 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 StatesLove 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 StatesI 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 StatesThis 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 StatesReally 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 StatesI 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 StatesI 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 StatesAs 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.

- 00, 01, 02, 03
January 17, 2017 by Spinner's Dad from United StatesAll 4 sessions are great!
- Brilliantly uplifting
January 8, 2017 by Adam Griffies from United KingdomAs 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 StatesMeet 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 StatesIf 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 StatesGives 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.
- I can relate
May 26, 2025 by BeExcellent9 from United StatesKyle and Sean talk about stuff that I think about all the time. Some pretty deep stuff, but always in an upbeat and hilarious way. I have taken some practical advice from this podcast. Thanks to the dudes!
- Always Relevant Topics!
May 8, 2025 by gsiitjbf from United StatesLove how relatable your topics always are! Thank you for reminding us that we all grieve and that is part of the human condition. There’s always a good life to be had with Ataxia- just keep looking for the good… and you can adopt mine- you’ll even save on instate tuition!
- Thoughtful
March 10, 2025 by creatine-mom from United StatesYou guys do your homework and ask compassionate and thought-provoking questions. I’ve found my new favorite podcast! Thank you.
- So relatable
March 6, 2024 by Sharon R1tr from United StatesI 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!
