About This Podcast

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.
