Wow. I only released two podcast episodes in 2024. I was starting to feel sad because I used to be working on an episode all the time and publishing monthly. But I’m not sad because what I have been working on is another podcast! Pigeonhole is not going away, and I hope to get back to creating more episodes soon. In the meantime, here’s what’s been percolating. The POD Access website is about to launch, and the POD Access Podcast is already on its way.
The POD Access Podcast is a limited-series show and a great companion to the upcoming website. The website will have a library of d/Deaf and disabled podcasters’ shows, resources for podcasters, and lots of goodies. And the podcast is hosted by me and Thomas, a couple of podcasters podcasting about other podcasters and their podcasting in hopes of supporting more podcasts and podcasters podcasting. It will be available as audio, transcript, video with captions, and video with Deaf interpreters and captions. Pop on over to the POD Access YouTube channel for the video versions, and subscribe or follow there or on your favorite podcasting app. Only the trailer is up yet, with episodes to come every two weeks starting real soon!
Any d/Deaf or disabled podcaster can join the upcoming library to get your show listed by filling our form at https://bit.ly/PODAccess. Sign up for the POD Access newsletter on Substack, and follow us on our very occasional visits to The Pod Access on Instagram. And now, for the POD Access Podcast trailer.
