Let’s Talk! Podcast Collective

Let’s Talk! Podcast Collective

Let’s Talk! is a podcast storytelling project created by and for students at PCC. We explore culture and social justice issues from the lens of people experiencing disabilities.

We format all of our media materials for ultimate accessibility so members of our community who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or low vision, or experiencing another disability can engage with our content. All of our accessible episodes plus bonus materials are on our Episode Page.

You can also find us on KBOO Community Radio, XRAY FM Spotify, and YouTube !
