They teach ASL in High School?! Well, of course.

From foreign exchange student in the U.S. to a sign language interpreter in France, our guest today, Julie Kléne, shares her journey and motivations to becoming an LSF/French interpreter. We learn about the working conditions of interpreters in France and some of the history of the Deaf and interpreting communities there.

Let's start in high school...

Who said that?! I did. Who are you? None o' your business.

Social media has us all questioning ourselves and everyone's "real life". Sometimes it's not a place you can trust.

Today I discuss why some people post anonymously on social media platforms. Is it OK? Why does it matter? Or does it? Let's think about these issues in this episode.

NOT YOU AGAIN!? OK, fine...

As sign language interpreters we deal with difficult situations, emotional decisions, and hard tasks. In addition, we work with people who can be unpleasant. How do we balance our professional role, our ally-based role, and our moral compass with having to accommodate frustrating demands from annoying people-situations??

Wow, that's a very difficult topic to discuss. Let's do it with our professional and transparent respect. Shall we?
