The A4G Podcast

By Riley Rose Frazy

My podcast is about game accessibility. I’ll be discussing all types of games and how I think they can be made accessible to the disabled community. I mainly know a lot about blindness and that is because I am light perception blind. But if you are following me and you have a different type of disability don’t worry. I’m not going to leave you out. I’ll have guests on here that have other disabilities so they will be included as well. Please stay tuned and enjoy.

My 1 Year Anniversary Advocacy Episode.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the show and in today’s episode Jesse Anderson is doing the interviewing and I am the cohost. We talk about my last year as I celebrate my one year anniversary of being a game accessibility advocate. It has been an amazing ride and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the future. It has been such a rewarding experience and I’m humbled and honored to be a part of this community. I would just like to thank everyone for all of their kind words and support as I started this new endeavor and to everyone who has stuck with me throughout the year. I hope you continue to enjoy the content and everything that is happening. I’m here for the long-haul and I’m in it to stay.
