  • Summary

  • Whether it’s true crime or history, technical or humorous, podcasts are about stories. This new production from Aira and Jenine Stanley is about telling the story of how, where, when and why “ACCESS MATTERS”. What happens when people don’t have barriers to negotiate just to live their lives? What happens when people with disabilities have agency? Those questions will be addressed as we accompany Jenine on a journey through the world as someone with disabilities. It’s about technology, attitudes, and how these two factors combine to form true access. We’ll examine all aspects of life from travel to home management, school to work to glamour and fun.

    Vision A Memoir of Justice and Blindness” is an insightful new book from retired federal court of appeals judge David Tatel. Judge Tatel talks with us about his 30-year career with the court, District of Columbia Circuit as well as his long history in the civil rights and civil justice field. How did his impending blindness shape his journey? How do the current decisions and actions of the Supreme Court affect our rights of access? Whether you are a legal scholar or just someone who wants to understand how our justice system works at the federal level, or you just want to know about the gorgeous German Shepherd on the cover of the book, this interview has something for everyone.
