Politicians lying isn't a revelation. People have always debated facts. Today's access to social media and the ease at which just about anyone can publish and spread "stories" has made distinguishing truth from fiction much more of a challenge. In fact, it often feels as if a large percentage of society no longer cares about what is true. As this is the Power to the People series, I think it's important that we ask ourselves how we can play a role in reducing mis or disinformation from disrupting our lives. It's rampant, but that doesn't mean we have to fall victim or help spread it. I'll use a 9/11 related story from my own experience to kick-off the conversation.

If you relate to what I'm saying, press play. Otherwise, read the transcript... it's your choice!

In this final episode of the FTS season, I'm taking a fresh, dramatic look at the state of AD. It's an artistic exploration of how audio description went from a promising, groundbreaking career path to something threatened by AI and text-to-speech. To do this, we're taking on the true crime genre, but the case is about Audio Description itself. Follow or subscribe wherever you get podcasts. Transcripts available at ReidMyMind.com.

For the past few years, the summer season has been dedicated to Flipping the Script on Audio Description. Even though I've been gone for a minute, we're continuing with that tradition.
