Listen to this post: Built-in accessibility in mainstream software is amazing. It’s nice to not have to purchase new apps or software if you don’t think you’re going to be using the feature long term. I’m writing this right now with Microsoft Word’s dictate feature! But there’s a darker side to this, or rather, Microsoft […]

Listen to this post: Today, a couple of audio described super short films I made in summer 2020 at Sunflower Farm. I’ve been volunteering there since shortly after the pandemic was declared. All of the organic produce and eggs get donated to food pantries and shelters, and the farm operates year-round on a fully-volunteer basis. […]

Listen to this post: I’ve been to a few celebrations to honor the Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary over the years. I bet for people who’ve never been, they figure we sit around and say that laws are cool. But that’s not what those events are! They include stories of continued ableism in the face […]

Listen to this post: I love doing the blast from the past encore episodes. My conversation with poet and musician Rick Hammond from nine years ago remains the most fun podcast recording I think I’ve ever done. If I remember correctly (which I’m sure is a ludicrous thing for me to say) I didn’t prepare […]

Listen to this post: [Podcast audio is at the bottom of the post.] Following my 2019 episode about radio and disabled voices, today’s episode is about the way people describe synthesized voices. My guest, endever*, isn’t an audio describer, and we don’t get into Audio Description (AD) per se. But AD is what led me […]

Listen to this post: Cascadia’s annual Heart event illuminates the intersection of art and mental health with a focus on women. This annual event brings together a network of supporters, artists, and storytellers who are committed to reducing the stigma of mental health by supporting activities that promote health, healing, and hope. This year’s month-long […]

Listen to this post: February, 2021. I can’t tell if it feels like it was yesterday or a year ago. Did we stop quipping that it’s still March 370th, 2020 yet? But just last month, I had the great honor and fun to be part of the Millersville University Disability Film Festival. They screened “Who […]

Listen to this post (the podcast is at the bottom of the post): I really love re-airing pared down interviews from my early days of podcasting. This one was such a pleasure to listen to again after more than six years. I met my guest, Bittin, at a brain injury conference, in the before times, […]

Listen to this post: I’m beyond delighted to introduce you to another disabled-created and hosted podcast, AAC Town. AAC stands for alternative and augmentative communication, which they define in many ways across the episodes. But this isn’t just a technical podcast or a show only for people who already know they’re interested in learning about […]

Listen to this post: [The podcast is at the bottom of the post.] Sometimes I do these interviews, and it feels like they’re so set in the moment that they won’t hold up down the road. But then you find one, like this 2015 conversation with AJ Murray, and it turns out it’s evergreen after […]
