Welcome to The Hear Me Out! [CC] Podcast, an audio show (with transcripts included) where we listen to stories from fascinating individuals in and around the d/Deaf community and from your host, yours truly, Ahmed Khalifa.

In this episode, I got chatting with Henry Warren who is running a campaign called 'Turn on the Subtitles' where he is encouraging broadcasters and technology platforms to turn on the subtitles as research has shown that it can help improve children's literacy rate.

Even though this is not predominately deaf-related, it still touches upon it. As someone who is dependent on captions/subtitles, this campaign is something that I agree with and as it turns out, it has a lot more benefits than people think, as Henry explains in this podcast.
