Hmmm, I might need to double check this, but I thought podcast.net had a disabilities category as well. Can anybody back me up on this?

I haven't spent a lot of time around directories much but may give the pickle a taste for sure. Thanks for the tip. Another directory is Podnova but I don't recall seeing a disabilities category over there either. I was kinda disappointed with Podnova's selections the last time I looked. In fact, I couldn't find a current URL to the Gillmor Gang podcast when I was there before; I ended using Podcast Alley to find it instead.
