Interview guests, music, and Ouch's famous Vegetable Vegetable or Vegetable parlour game returns on the hour-long show for June. (See 'Related links' for a transcript) One-handed concert pianist Nicholas McCarthy got to #7 in the classical music charts. Here, he reveals what he does with his less-able or “little arm” - the one he doesn't make music with. Hear him play to celebrate BBC Music Day. And be sure to click below for a video of blind Ouch producer Emma trying to find Nicholas’s speedy left hand as he tickles the ivories. Ruth Madeley was nominated for a BAFTA for her part in BBC Three's Don’t Take My Baby, a drama exploring the scrutiny some disabled people experience from social services on becoming parents. The drama is back on BBC iPlayer until August, and Ruth joins us from Manchester to chat about her break-out role. She was born disabled, but that’s not what she always tells inquisitive strangers. Hear the elaborate tale she told Ouch when she came in on work experience 10 years ago when she was a teenager. It’s Volunteers Week and Maria, a young woman with learning difficulties, explains how her Gig Buddy Hannah helps her to go clubbing safely and "stay up late ". Vegetable, Vegetable or Vegetable is back, the tongue-in-cheek game where presenters and guests go against the clock to guess what’s “wrong” with a disabled contestant on the phone. And we end with music from New York rap duo 4 Wheel City who became wheelchair users when they were shot in separate incidents. Hear their anti-gun violence anthem Welcome to Reality.
