Episode #60 -  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.

It is critical for everyone to be informed of the important guidelines that we need to follow when there is a global pandemic and it is a life and death situation.

Unfortunately, d/Deaf people are not informed as adequately as they should be.

Even though there are government guidelines to be followed when they do their live emergency broadcasting, deaf/Deaf sign language users tend to be forgotten about.

Hence why the hashtag #WhereIsTheInterpreter, originally started by Lynn Stewart-Taylor, has been trending in the UK to do something about this.
