Episode 4: Uncovering our hidden biases

What happens when the biggest barriers to accessibility aren’t physical or financial, but our beliefs and attitudes?

This episode features interviews with Carey Taschuk and Ian Young.  Transcript can be found here [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OZs_FsuNYMpSn_ldXy1v5efS7AYJCnu5Nv2bByI66H0/edit?tab=t.0].
