A Conversation on Accessibility

A Conversation on Accessibility

Author: Iffy Brass November 3, 2023 Duration: 28:00
We have a discussion about accessibility, mostly through the lens of our experience through the nonprofit Stacey launched in 2017, SAGE.

Hosted by the creative partners Stacey and Xavier, Bear Witness is an intimate audio journal from Iffy Brass that explores the texture of everyday life. This isn't a structured interview show or a lecture; it's a shared space built from their conversations as a couple, where personal anecdotes, quiet observations, and moments of self-reflection collide. They document the raw and the refined, treating everything from a fleeting emotion to a significant cultural shift as worthy of attention. By tuning in, you become a silent participant in their ongoing dialogue, hearing how two distinct perspectives navigate the complexities of art, belief, society, and personal growth. The podcast deliberately avoids easy answers, instead offering a genuine record of experience that asks listeners to sit with ambiguity and find connection in the specific. What emerges is a unique chronicle that feels less like a produced show and more like overhearing a compelling, lifelong conversation between two people deeply engaged with the world and each other. The result is a thoughtful, meandering, and often surprising listen that mirrors the way we actually process life-not in neat categories, but in a fluid mix of memory, critique, wonder, and confession. This approach makes each episode a small act of testimony, an invitation to simply pay closer attention.
