Sunday Edition Presents: Getting to Know Danielle and some AIRA Updates  

At the top of the show, we will welcome back friend of the show Jenine Stanley from AIRA. Jenine joins us with updates from one of the most recognized visual interpretation services in the world. We will discuss the latest developments at AIRA, accessibility innovation, and what users can expect moving forward.

Then we will be getting to know Danielle Puderer.

Danielle Puderer is a multifaceted artist whose voice and vision have carved a unique space at the intersection of music, artificial intelligence, and immersive storytelling.

A classically trained mezzo soprano, Danielle has been singing since childhood, developing a rich and expressive vocal style that combines technical precision with emotional depth. Her creative journey has led her to become the producer behind The Amirra McCoy Project, an AI generated musical artist that blends classical influences with modern technology to create original and compelling music.

Danielle is also the creative force behind the audio drama podcast of the same name. Through haunting narratives, complex characters and emotionally layered storytelling, the series explores moral ambiguity, psychological tension and the darker corners of the human experience.

During our conversation we will discuss her journey from early musical training to embracing AI powered creative tools, the innovative ways she uses artificial intelligence in music production and audio drama creation, the inspiration behind launching The Amirra McCoy Project, and practical production tips for aspiring podcasters, musicians and storytellers.

Whether you are interested in accessibility, technology, music, podcasting, artificial intelligence or simply hearing from creative people doing extraordinary things, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

An Intimate Evening With Michael

, the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts invites you to join us for a very special edition of An Intimate Evening as we sit down with the remarkable Michael Byington.

Born legally blind in an era when many blind children were still educated away from their families, Michael’s journey is one of perseverance, creativity, advocacy, and service. Inspired by his mother, who was also legally blind, Michael helped blaze a trail for inclusive education while discovering his passion for theatre, performance, and storytelling.

From his early days in drama clubs and political campaigns to helping create one of the nation’s pioneering Drama Therapy programs at Kansas State University, Michael has spent a lifetime using the arts to enrich lives and expand opportunities for others. His work has touched countless people through entertainment, disability rights advocacy, direct human services, and leadership within the blindness community.

Michael also played a role in advancing disability rights during the movement that led to the Americans with Disabilities Act and was honored to attend the White House signing ceremony when President George H.W. Bush signed the landmark legislation into law.

Later in life, Michael returned to graduate school to become a certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist, helping blind and low vision individuals navigate the world with confidence and independence. Even in retirement, he continues to share his gifts through advocacy, mentorship, and service.

Many in our community know Michael through his unforgettable performances on Behind the Music and community karaoke nights. Whether delivering a laugh out loud parody, a heartfelt original piece, or a creative interpretation of artists such as Lana Del Rey, Michael brings warmth, wit, and authenticity to every performance.

Join Anthony Corona for an intimate conversation exploring Michael’s life, his love of music and theatre, his advocacy journey, and the many ways he has woven art, purpose, and service into a truly extraordinary life.

May I… The Comfort of Joy and the Practical Application of May I Concepts

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts in partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

Special Guest:

Gabriel Lopez Kafati

In this powerful and deeply reflective final installment of the May I conversation series, the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Bold Blind Beauty bring together the emotional and practical lessons explored throughout the series and ask one final question:

How do we actually carry these ideas into everyday life?

Over the course of this conversation series, we have explored mindfulness, emotional awareness, confidence, connection, healing, movement, survival, identity, and self trust. This concluding discussion focuses on how we continue applying those lessons in practical, sustainable, and emotionally healthy ways.

The first half of the conversation centers around harnessing joy. Not performative joy. Not forced positivity. Real joy. The small moments that ground us, restore us, nourish us, and help us continue forward even during overwhelming seasons of life.

Special guest Gabriel Lopez Kafati leads this portion of the discussion with reflections on sustainable joy, emotional grounding, and allowing ourselves moments of peace without guilt.

The second half of the the conversation turns toward practical emotional application. Anthony Corona introduces the concept of the emotional internal inventory while Steph of Bold Blind Beauty explores the idea of the internal white cane.

Together, the panel examines how intuition, emotional awareness, boundaries, gut feelings, tension, peace, exhaustion, excitement, and self trust all serve as navigation tools within our emotional environments just as a white cane helps navigate physical spaces.

Topics explored throughout the conversation include:

Harnessing joy during difficult times

Allowing ourselves peace without guilt

Balancing advocacy, caregiving, and emotional survival

Holding joy and pain simultaneously

Emotional awareness and pattern recognition

The emotional internal inventory

The internal white cane

Boundaries and emotional self trust

Recognizing intuition versus anxiety

Practical emotional check ins

Rest, healing, and sustainable self care

The conversation closes with a moving fill in the blank reflection exercise centered around the recurring phrase:

May I…

Listeners are encouraged to revisit all installments of the May I series through the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Bold Blind Beauty and continue these conversations within their own communities, friendships, workplaces, and personal lives.

May I… Getting Out There

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts in partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

In conversation three of our four part May I series, we explore what it means to reconnect with the world around us while navigating disability, advocacy, emotional wellness, and the realities of accessibility.

Together we discuss the pause before opening the door, the emotional preparation behind everyday outings, and the balance between self care and isolation. We examine internal barriers such as anxiety, burnout, fear of embarrassment, trauma, and the exhaustion that can come from constantly advocating for ourselves.

We also tackle external barriers including inaccessible businesses and websites, transportation struggles, public assumptions, poor accommodation practices, and the difference between performative accessibility and true inclusion.

Most importantly, this conversation focuses on reclaiming joy. Recreation, friendship, movement, laughter, travel, hobbies, community spaces, and the simple act of participating in the world matter. Joy is not frivolous. Joy is part of survival.

This week we continue the conversation with our final installment, focusing on joy and the practical application of everything we have explored together so far. We will discuss how to remain open to the world while still protecting our mental health, emotional well being, boundaries, and sense of self as advocates and human beings.

Thank you for joining us for these honest, vulnerable, supportive, and judgment free conversations.

New Spoken Word Podcast Release

The Weight We Carry, The Love We Return

This week’s spoken word reflection is one of the most personal pieces I’ve shared in a long time.

It is about caregiving.About aging.About guide dogs and family.About emotional exhaustion.About boundaries.About losing people.About discovering who stays.About advocacy fatigue.About learning that love is not only found in celebration, but in the difficult seasons when we quietly carry one another through pain, change and uncertainty.

As my partner helps his family pack away a lifetime of memories and our retired guide dog queen Posh faces difficult health struggles here at home, I found myself reflecting on grief, responsibility, emotional labor, friendship, resilience and the complicated weight many of us carry silently every day.

This is not just an article anymore.It is now a spoken word conversation from the heart.

If you have ever felt emotionally stretched thin while still trying to show up for the people and communities you love, I think this one may speak to you.

Podcast and article link below.

May I… Boldly Beautiful

The Space Between

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts

In partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

recorded-Wednesday at 4 PM Eastern Part 1 is in the podcast thread...

Join us for a thoughtful, soul centered, and deeply human conversation as we continue the May I… series with a powerful new discussion exploring mindfulness, self awareness, emotional navigation, and the sacred pause between stimulus and response.

This special conversation will be led by Stephanae McCoy, founder of Bold Blind Beauty, and will invite us into what Bold Blind Beauty calls “The Space Between,” that quiet internal place where self awareness becomes our boldest compass.

Together we will explore questions like:

What does your internal space feel like when life becomes overwhelming.

How do we slow ourselves down in a world that constantly demands reaction.

Can mindfulness become a kind of white cane for the mind, helping us navigate emotional obstacles before we collide with them.

How do access, inclusion, and representation apply not only to the world around us, but also to the relationship we have with ourselves.

This conversation will gently explore emotional blind spots, self acceptance, internal vision, mindfulness practices, and the beauty that can exist inside the pause itself.

We will also discuss how accepting our blindness, whether physical, emotional, or metaphorical, can actually strengthen the way we move through the world with intention, compassion, and courage.

This is not a lecture.

It is a conversation.

A space for reflection.

A space for honesty.

A space for breath.

Whether you are blind, low vision, disabled, neurodivergent, navigating stress, burnout, grief, growth, or simply searching for a moment to reconnect with yourself, you are welcome here.

If you would like to join the conversation live, or if you have questions, thoughts, or comments you would like included in the discussion, please email:

[email protected]

Take a breath.

Pause for a moment.

And ask yourself:

May I…
