hi hello hey, and hope had a happy Easter if you celebrated it!

After last week’s ~controversial~ episode, we wanted to have a little fun and let our listeners get to know us a bit better! Even though you may feel like we’re already friends, it’s hard to get to know a host when you can’t interact with them. This week, we’re talking personalities and typing, and while it’s not a foolproof way to know someone, we hope it’ll give you a little glimpse into who we are.

show notes

• Case talks about getting fitted for a pair of bioptics, which is like a pair of glasses with a monocular mounted onto them. In some places, people with low vision can use them to drive
• Cass pops in to mention that this episode came out on April 6, 2021 which is Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome awareness day! We hope that you can take some time to listen to some of our past episodes where we mention it more in depth, and if you’re compelled, please donate to the HPS Network help us find a cure for the terminal pulmonary fibrosis aspect of it. Here are some of our HPS-focused episodes:
  • 6 on our HPS/illness journeys
