It’s an odd experience being on the other side of the interview but that’s exactly what happened a couple of months ago when Ilona Brannen asked me to be a guest on her podcast Still Loading. She asked me to speak about inclusive workplaces in the digital age and specifically about the inclusion of people with disabilities. I guess I could speak about that, I’d said. But I’ll admit, I was wary given my lack of experience being on the other side of the microphone, if you will.
But it’s out today. I listened to it and I’m proud to say, I didn’t wince once in doing so. I hope you find it interesting. It was fun to do and Ilona was beyond lovely and kind.
And just an aside, the interview was done on a Zoom call. With my ADHD and audio processing issues, I’m finding it much easier to have conversations with people when I can see their faces than over the telephone. So, thanks, Ilona, for the opportunity and for your kindness. Wishing you well for your future podcasts.
Late note to correct something I said during the interview: President Franklin Roosevelt was not paralyzed due to an accident. He was paralyzed as a result of polio.
