Hi Amanda ~

First of all, kudos on a nice website, and the work you put into making information available to DT fans. Your efforts are appreciated.

As a Deaf person, I would like to go on record as saying that I also appreciate your efforts to make videos and radio broadcasts accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing. I encourage you to keep it up. If you are finding it challenging to come up with ways to caption the videos or transcribe the radio broadcasts, please let me know - I may have some resources for you. I know individuals who do caption videos or have knowledge of how to go about doing it in the easiest and more effective manner, and I also might be able to help you find transcribers. You might want to look into local disability organizations to see if there are folks who would volunteer to help to this - or local sign language interpreter training programs that might have students looking for projects to put in class credit hours.

Now, please humor me for a moment while I suggest some possible corrections here... in your above post, I would suggest changing "the hearing impaired" to "deaf and hard of hearing viewers" as the more appropriate phrase. Yes, I know that hearing impaired is what most people are familiar with and assume is the PC term to use, but actually most in the Deaf Community find it offensive. I personally don't think it's that horrendous, but I do agree that we should try to discourage its use and encourage people to use "deaf and hard of hearing" instead.

I had a bit of a problem at first with "Site Exclusives" because I didn't realize that meant THIS website...I thought it was over on the talkradio site. You might want to change that to say *** "Website Exclusives" under the menu in the corner above. *** I know it sounds picky, but if you're not really familiar with how talk radio works (and us deafies wouldn't be), it's kinda easy to assume that the transcript would be over there, because in the deaf world, transcripts of sign language videos are usually found right under the video itself so that one can watch the video and read the transcript somewhat simultaneously. I was kinda in that mindset when looking for the transcripts.

But other than this nitpicking, as I said earlier I think you're doing a good job.

Thanks!

Virginia - I certainly understand. I will change it to the Hard of Hearing. as for your feedback on site navigation, I guess I can add a note saying they are available here on my site. Please take into account that I haven't had any interaction, up until now, with Hard of Hearing fans of the show until this point and this is the first feedback I have gotten in regards to that subject. I would have directed people to the BTR site if I were referencing it and there is no "Site Exclusives" tab on the BTR page, anyway. Regardless, I thank you for your feedback and for your suggestions. Very helpful.
