Episode #58 -  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.

At a time of recording, there is a global pandemic with coronavirus affecting the entire world. But with so much important to follow, it's so important to make sure that there is equal access to those content for those who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing.

Unfortunately, it is still necessary for this to be mentioned. At press conferences, there aren't always sign language interpreters (and when there are, they are mocked by some people). Important videos are not fully captioned. Podcasts and radio shows are not transcribed.

At this moment in time, it's more important than ever to make sure there is equal access to those content. It will not just protect those who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing, but also those around them too, as I explain in this podcast.
