This week on In Plain Sight, we revisit a fabulous conversation from the beginning of our program's journey with the very talented Eliza Hull, musical artist, writer, journalist, and disability advocate based in Victoria. They have a fascinating chat in which Eliza openly shares insights about her struggles and successes.

Be sure to connect with Eliza through her website or Facebook page. You can view the video clip spoken about during the interview for 'Running Underwater' on YouTube. Plus, you can find out more about Eliza's books here on her publisher's website. Be sure to look out for her future book releases.

Thanks to Andrew Williams, who is standing in as Simon's co-host and producer in Abby Green's absence.
