(Episode Previously Recorded LIVE & IN-PERSON) What's it like to be your customer? What if that customer can't hear? When support systems are built only on spoken instructions and sound prompts, they fail customers immediately. This systemic barrier exists across the entire customer journey, preventing critical tasks like changing a flight itinerary or correcting a fraudulent charge. This failure generates costly, repeated struggles for help, driving up operational costs and causing the loss of a valuable customer segment. Accessible customer experience is a required business standard, not a siloed department. You have far more customers with different abilities than you realize, and you are missing their business because the existing experience creates a massive, unnecessary barrier. As Craig Radford notes, current systems make "being deaf a full-time job." Stacy Sherman talks to both Vannessa LeBoss and Craig Radford (who is deaf) of 360 Direct Access about converting accessibility across the entire experience into a measurable business advantage. From listening to this episode, you will learn how to: Decrease call time by 42%: Implement direct, video-based ASL support to lower operational expenses and time. Capture a $3 trillion market: Build loyalty by creating truly equitable experiences for the deaf community. Prevent errors: Use AI for sign language recognition to accurately capture critical data and stop costly mistakes. Fix process flaws: Recognize that ASL is a visual language entirely distinct from English, preventing customers from being trapped in automated menu loops. Manage risk: Ensure compliance with accessibility requirements (ADA, etc.). Listen now and change how you think and DO CX RIGHT.

Trump'ın dayattığı Gazze mütarekesi Batı Asya'ya barış getirmedi. İsrail sürekli bu sözde ateşkesi bozuyor, yeni katliamlar yapmak için hiçbir fırsatı kaçırmıyor. Trump Türkiye, Mısır ve Katar'ı taşeronlaştırarak direnişi zapturapt altına almaya çalışırken, savaşmadan iktidarda kalması mümkün olmayan Netanyahu, İran'a karşı ABD ve Avrupa ile birlikte yeni bir cephe açmak için kolları sıvıyor. Aslında bu cephede yan yana gelenler El Aksa Tûfanı öncesinde iyice belli olmuştu, şimdi sözde ateşkes, İran'a karşı emperyalistler ve Siyonistlerle aynı safta olanları yeniden görünür kılıyor.Emperyalizm-Siyonizm cephesi ve karşısındakilerİran, İsrail'e karşı silahlı olarak Filistin halkının yanında durdu. Bunun karşılığı Ekim 2024'ten itibaren Siyonistlerin ve son olarak da ABD emperyalizminin İran'a yönelik onlarca saldırısı oldu. Yakın zamanda İsrail ve ABD İran'a yeniden saldırabilir. Yemen, Filistin halkını bir dakika bile yalnız bırakmadı. Tel Aviv'i yüzlerce kilometre uzaktan defalarca vurdu. Kızıldeniz'i emperyalist ve Siyonistlerin gemilerine kapattı. Karşılığı, bir seferinde Yemen hükümet üyelerinin dahi katledildiği karşı saldırılar ve acımasız bir ambargo oldu. Hizbullah, Lübnan'ın güneyini Siyonistler için bir cehenneme çevirdi. İsrail'in kuzeyinde yaşayan yerleşimciler bir yıldan uzun bir süre evlerine yaklaşamadılar bile. Karşılığı, Hizbullah liderlerine ve komutanlarına yönelik suikastlar, güney Lübnan'a ABD ve İsrail'in yoğun saldırıları oldu. Özetle, El Aksa Tûfânı'nın ardından cesur bir şekilde Siyonizme kafa tutan kim varsa, ağır bedeller ödedi.Bunların karşısında, İsrail'i soykırım sürecinde bile destekleyenler var. Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri bu listenin başında. Karşılığında Emirlik tüccarları İsrail pazarına girdi ve ülke, ABD'den satışı ciddi kısıtlamalara bağlı yapay zekâ çipleri gibi malzemeler almayı başardı. Gazze'deki ablukanın destekçisi Mısır, soykırım boyunca Refah'ı açmaya yeltenmedi. Filistin halkını yalnız bıraktı. Karşılığında ABD askerî sanayii ürünlerinin Mısır'a satışına onay verildi. Elbette Mısır'da Sisi'yi başa getiren darbenin ABD destekli olduğunu söylemeye gerek bile yok. İngiliz ve Türk istihbaratı ortak yapımı olan, Suriye'nin tekfirci mezhepçi çeteleri, kravat takıp takım elbise giydikten sonra, İsrail'e dokunmayacaklarına yemin edince Şam'da bir devlete sahip oluverdiler. Son örnek Fas. İsrail ile kurduğu iyi ilişkilerin de sonucu olarak, yıllar önce sömürgeleştirdiği Batı Sahra'da Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi'nden kendi istediği bir kararı çıkarmayı başardı.Emperyalizme ve Siyonizme hizmet eninde sonunda kaybettirir!“İyi ya işte, İsrail ile işbirliği yaparsak kazanırız” mı dediniz? Yanıldınız. Fas gençliğinin sefalete karşı 27 Eylül'de başlattığı gösterileri geçen ayki gazetemizde sizlere aktarmıştık. Eylemler şimdilik duruldu, ama halkın sefaleti devam ediyor. Mısır halkı, Sisi'nin Siyonizmin dostu olmasından hiçbir şey kazanmıyor, yarısına yakını yoksulluk sınırı altında. Sisi ise kendisine yeni bir başkent inşa etmekle meşgul. İsrail HTŞ'cilere inat Suriye'yi bir atış poligonuna çevirmiş durumda.Trump'ın silahsızlandırma planı Batı Asya'yı soykırımcı Siyonistler ve emperyalistler için dikensiz gül bahçesine çevirmeyi amaçlıyorTrump'ın Gazze planı, öyle ucuz uyanıklıklarla lehe çevrilebilecek bir proje değil, sadece Filistin'i ilgilendiren bir plan hiç değil. Filistin direniş örgütlerinden başlayacak bir “Direniş Ekseni güçlerini silahsızlandırma” planının ilk adımı. ABD basıncı ve tehditleriyle Filistin örgütleri, ardından muhtemelen İsrail'in saldırılarıyla Hizbullah ve belki de son aşamada Ensarullah hedef alınacak. Bölge emperyalizm ve Siyonizm için dikensiz gül bahçesine dönüşecek. İran, yıkılmasa bile sınırlarına hapsedilecek. Sonra da anne çakal Trump, bölge ülkelerinden oluşan yavrularının önüne dolar ambalajına sarılmış yeni İbrahimî anlaşmaları atıp, buradan gelecek zenginliği bağıra çağıra aralarında paylaşmalarını izleyecek.

Mapping the Landscape of Technical Standards: A Nationwide Review of Medical Schools Interviewees: Carol Haywood, PhD, OTR/L — Assistant Professor, Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Chris Moreland, MD, MPH — Professor of Internal Medicine; Division Chief for Hospital Medicine; Interim Associate Chair for Faculty Affairs and Development, Dell Medical School (Comments made in ASL and voiced through interpreters) Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA — Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, we sit down with Dr. Carol Haywood and Dr. Chris Moreland to explore a deceptively powerful document: the medical school technical standards. These quietly influential statements—often tucked deep in an admissions webpage—shape who feels welcome to apply, who gains access, and how institutions imagine the future of their profession. Haywood and Moreland, co-authors of a national analysis featured in the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education, unpack what happens when ambiguous language, outdated assumptions, and vague expectations collide with real people making real decisions about their careers. Together, they dig into the nuances of functional vs. organic standards, the importance of clarity for applicants who lack insider knowledge, and the ripple effects of inequitable policies across a learner's entire training experience. What emerges is both sobering and hopeful: a field undergoing change, a growing recognition that words matter, and a roadmap for institutions ready to bring their values into alignment with their practices. The discussion reviews: How technical standards became a gatekeeper—and why revising a single sentence can shift an entire culture. Why students with disabilities read these documents differently—and why that matters for equity. How ambiguity in admissions can deter talented future physicians long before they step foot in a classroom. What schools can do now to create standards that prioritize competence, flexibility, and inclusion. Dr. Haywood brings a researcher's lens and an occupational therapist's creativity to the conversation, illuminating how functional expectations—not assumptions about bodies—should guide medical training. Dr. Moreland shares deeply personal reflections on navigating technical standards as a deaf physician, offering rare insight into how these documents land on applicants with lived experience. This episode invites the audience to imagine a medical education landscape where technical standards do what they should do—define competence, set expectations, and open doors—rather than unintentionally closing them. Bios: Carol Haywood, PhD, OTR/L, is Assistant Professor of Medical Social Sciences in the Determinants of Health Division and core faculty in the Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, IL. Building from her work as an occupational therapist in acute rehabilitation, she completed a PhD in occupational science at the University of Southern California and a postdoctoral fellowship in health services and outcomes research at Northwestern University. Using qualitative, mixed methods, and community-engaged research approaches, she studies disability in a variety of contexts, as well as health care access, coordination, and quality. She is driven by a vision of health care that facilitates equity for people with disabilities. Chris Moreland, MD MPH, is a professor of medicine, interim associate department chair for faculty affairs, and division chief for hospital medicine at Dell Medical School at UT Austin. He practices clinically as a hospitalist. As a career-long clinician educator, his teaching has been recognized regionally and nationally. His collaborative advocacy and research efforts describe the experiences of our healthcare workforce and learners with disabilities, as well as strategies to foster pathways to thriving clinicians. He has served as president and longtime board member for the Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Losses; he holds current roles on the Docs with Disabilities Initiative advisory board, the AAMC Group on Diversity and Inclusion steering committee, and as a consultant with the National Deaf Center.

Today is November 12, 2025, and the nation's attention lately has been glued to the explosive court battles swirling around Donald Trump—courtrooms packed, legal fireworks almost daily. Just last week, on November 5, the Supreme Court held oral arguments in the consolidated Trump v. V.O.S. Selections case, a landmark proceeding. This latest legal clash traces back to the Federal Circuit's decision at the end of August, and the intensity ramped up quickly when the Trump team filed a writ of certiorari in early September, pushing for an expedited review. The Supreme Court agreed to speed things up, setting the stage for arguments early this month.Picture the scene: inside the Supreme Court, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued for the federal government from Washington, D.C., while Neal K. Katyal—always composed, representing private parties—stood at the opposite lectern. Multistate briefs and amicus filings came from unexpected quarters, including the State of Oregon's Solicitor General, Benjamin Gutman, who stepped into the spotlight for the state parties. The courtroom was buzzing, not only with media and legal analysts, but also with advocates and critics dissecting every argument about presidential authority and the power to impose—and potentially rescind—controversial tariffs and executive orders.On the streets outside, the talk was all about how these court decisions could shift the fate of Trump's economic legacy. According to Politico, even as tariffs sit on trial, negotiations between U.S. and foreign trade partners are pressing forward, and there's widespread speculation that Trump, regardless of what the justices decide, may try to reimpose tariffs in some other fashion. The policies at stake have high global stakes but also direct impact on American businesses and workers.Simultaneously, civil rights litigation continues to dog Trump's latest tenure. The Just Security litigation tracker highlights cases filed over the past year—like National Association of the Deaf v. Trump, where the administration's move to stop ASL interpreters at public press briefings spurred a lawsuit that's now awaiting a court decision. There's also a series of cases against executive orders targeting law firms and advocacy organizations, raising alarms about overreach and potential retaliation against anyone opposing Trump's policies. Groups like the ACLU are still in the fight. The Supreme Court recently allowed the Trump administration to enforce a highly contentious passport policy that critics—including the ACLU of Massachusetts—strongly oppose, calling it discriminatory.With so many cases running hot, questions about executive power, civil liberties, and the practical limits of presidential authority are in sharper focus than ever. Each ruling and hearing over these past few days seems to weigh not only on Trump himself, but also on the broader direction of U.S. democracy. Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for more.

Boo! She's back. Sister/co-host Kerry's back and up to her old tricks on Outlook this week. A lot to cover again on this Mixed Bag episode. Kerry teases her new audio description company she's part of that will be revealed on the next show, but first her and brother co-host Brian discuss the state of podcasting today, along with other social media trends and where to take Outlook. As we share about our fall so far, Brian reveals recording of some music with his band at a local studio, The Sugar Shack, as the weather grows cold, announcing something upcoming of his own. Kerry tells of a chronic grief about missing colours, like the colours of the changing leaves. She still has all the other senses this time of year. Halloween brings the end of October and the end of Bam. Blindness Awareness Month is still on for a little while longer, as Brian shares about ODEN (Ontario Disability Employment Network). Their theme for this one is Inclusive Employment Across Canada: Building a Workforce Without Barriers. Barriers oh barriers, that's all we keep hearing about, that barriers are recognised, but then what? Where are we headed with all of this? We're sharing trailers of documentaries today, where we demonstrate why audio description is so needed, The Alabama Solution and Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, but what would it be like if you could only hear them? We debate documentaries not saying their names in the trailer. As No Kings just happened, we discuss oppression in prisons, shown on The Alabama Solution dock. Fighting defeat, apathy, we do not submit prematurely. This week Kerry explains about her team's most recent project on deaf actress and activist, Marlee Matlin, starting with the trailer, mostly sign language. On Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore, Kerry learned, through working to add audio description to it, how adding AD and ASL can produce something that flows well together. As Brian lets slip something controversial, we learn all sorts of things about Marlee's life, through this PBS documentary. Kerry explains, again, what extended audio description is as we lead up next week to the official announcement. And some tips about our tips, white cane tips. Go Jays! Note: At one point Kerry said translator when she meant intervener.

Send us a textWhat does it take to learn to sit again, then stand, then chase the horizon at the Ironman World Championship? We sit down with endurance athlete and keynote speaker Elmar Sprink to trace the steps from sudden cardiac arrest and seven months on ECMO to a disciplined, data‑driven comeback fueled by routine, empathy, and stubborn hope. Elmar opens up about the invisible work of recovery—why he treated hospital life like a training plan, how a visitor spreadsheet kept his spirits up, and the role therapy and humor played when the outcome was uncertain.We unpack the nuts and bolts of training after a heart transplant: threshold testing to set safe zones, the difference denervated hearts can make to heart rate response, and why indoor cycling and carefully staged swim returns protect against infection while rebuilding fitness. Elmar explains how steady training lowered his blood pressure and reduced medications, and he shares the small, daily wins—like a perfect cappuccino—that kept his motivation alive.

What happens when you grow up interpreting the world for your parents while carrying grief of your own? Maria Gallucci knows that experience well. As a child of deaf adults, she learned early how isolating life could feel for her parents and how small acts of inclusion could change everything. Later, she found herself in the painful role of interpreting a doctor’s words and telling her mom she had only months to live. In this episode, Maria shares how those moments shaped her grief journey and fueled her commitment to building a more inclusive world. She talks about supporting the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, navigating loss, raising children through grief, and carrying the lessons of her best friend’s sudden death. Her story is full of honesty, compassion, and purpose. What you’ll hear in this episode: The moment Maria had to interpret her mother’s terminal diagnosis How growing up as a CODA shaped her compassion and advocacy Why small acts of inclusion can change lives Listen and remember that your story matters too. Guest Bio Maria Gallucci is a multi-award-winning real estate agent and proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Growing up as one of six hearing children raised by Deaf parents, she learned ASL before English and helped her parents buy a home at just 12 years old. This experience shaped her passion for inclusive communication and helping those who are often overlooked. For over 30 years, Maria has supported homebuyers from all walks of life, with special focus on the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and LGBTQ+ communities. She’s the founder of Uptown Realty Group, Gallucci Homes, ASL @ Compass Affinity Group, and ASL Realty, a national platform connecting Deaf & Hard of Hearing clients with signing agents. She ranks in the top 1% of agents in Colorado and top 1.5% nationwide. Maria also serves on boards for Rocky Mountain Deaf School, DOVE, and Colorado Association of the Deaf. Her motto, "just try," reflects her belief that meaningful connection starts with one small step. Her debut book, Raised in Silence, is both a love letter to the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community and a guide for bridging communication gaps.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room, and the 5 questions you MUST ask your next lover. Leonarda Minutillo is a poet, writer, teacher, mom, and speaker (even in ASL). She studied at York University in Toronto with an Honours BA with Physical Education /Psychology; B.Ed at University of Toronto; Deaf Ed at York University; and then, with an International Rotary Scholarship attended Gallaudet University in WDC, the only university in the world tailored to Deaf students. It was a dream come true. Leonarda is now making a big career shift slowly leaving the classroom and stepping into the role of writer and poet where she has not only found great healing but also a long-awaited connection to her intuition. After publishing her first poetry book, "The Day I Bought a Teddy Bear and a Vibrator", Leonarda says the whole process has been incredibly transformational. In episode 608 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired Leonarda to start writing poetry and how that helped to reclaim her voice, how learning to listen to her intuition changed the trajectory of her life, how college students can channel creativity to heal from heartbreak or self-doubt, how she defines self-love in a world where people often seek validation from others, what are the 5 conscious questions to ask a potential lover so you can take care of yourself, what is the P.I.E. Principle, how studying at Gallaudet University shaped her perspective on communication and connection, how young people learn to see endings as beginnings, what role does community play in healing and self-discovery, how transitioning from teaching to writing and speaking full time taught her courage, and what advice she would give her younger self.

It's been quite a week watching the unfolding drama in our nation's courts, as the spotlight turns squarely on Donald Trump and the tsunami of litigation swirling around him. I'm here to walk you through what's happened—rapid fire—so let's jump right into the heart of the courtroom battles gripping the country.Washington D.C. has become the epicenter for Trump's most recent legal showdowns. Major cases have been dragging executive actions from his administration into the harsh glow of judicial scrutiny. The National Association of the Deaf, for example, is in the thick of a civil liberties battle. They've sued Trump alongside White House staff Susan Wiles and Karoline Leavitt, arguing that the administration's decision to halt ASL interpretation at official briefings violates not only the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 but the core tenets of the First and Fifth Amendments. This case highlights not just accessibility, but the larger question of equal protection and freedom of information. The deaf and hard of hearing community is demanding that the government reinstate these vital services or face judicial intervention.Meanwhile, Executive Order 14248 has triggered another storm of litigation over election law. The Democratic National Committee, the League of United Latin American Citizens, and the states of Washington and Oregon have challenged sweeping changes that require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, freeze federal funds to noncompliant states, and reassess voting systems across the country. Judge Kollar-Kotelly denied a motion by Trump's team to strike the case, signaling that the courts are taking these challenges seriously as they weigh the balance between election integrity and civil rights. The stakes are sky-high as the nation looks ahead to November.But the drama extends all the way to the Supreme Court. As the new term kicked off last week, the justices are staring down monumental cases that could redefine presidential power itself. The most contentious? Trump v. V.O.S. Selections and Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, which thrust the issue of massive tariffs right onto the Supreme Court's docket. The lower courts have said Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but Trump maintains that his ability to “regulate” foreign imports implicitly includes imposing tariffs. Legal analysts, like Deepak Gupta, are calling it a once-in-a-century test—a battle that could fundamentally alter how much power the presidency wields.Behind the scenes, litigation trackers from Lawfare and Just Security have been working overtime, cataloging dozens of actions challenging Trump's sweeping executive orders. From restoring the death penalty to accessibility and election rules, each case chips away at—or tries to reinforce—the boundary between presidential power and constitutional rights.It's clear that the coming days, and indeed the next several months, will see Trump's legal fate played out not just in headlines but in courtroom arguments and rulings with profound national impact. The questions swirling in America's courts aren't just about Donald Trump—they're about what the presidency itself should be.Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more of the latest updates.

Have you ever struggled to be understood? Matt Maxey spent most of his childhood trying to fit into the hearing world. He went to speech therapy, avoided sign language, and thought leaving Deaf culture behind was the only way to succeed. But when he showed up at Gallaudet University — the country's only Deaf university — he suddenly found himself in a place where everyone expected him to use ASL, a language he didn't even know, and many labelled him as an outsider. Instead of giving up, Matt flipped that struggle into his purpose. He went from resisting sign language to becoming one of the most well-known ASL music interpreters in the world. As the founder of DEAFinitely Dope, he's brought hip-hop to Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, toured with Chance the Rapper, and even interpreted at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show with Kendrick Lamar.
