In this week’s podcast episode, Alice and Lucy talk about Victorian author Charles Dickens and the various disabled characters in his novels. Best known for his festive story A Christmas Carol, Dickens wrote prolifically and included numerous disabled characters in his stories. In this episode, Alice brings to light some of the lesser-known disabled Dickensians whilst Lucy keeps it low-brow by focusing on the Muppet’s Christmas Carol.
