Hearing Things with Julie and Brad
We are two hard of hearing BFFs and we are taking on all the things that make living in a hearing world a challenge - we aim to inform, educate, and entertain. Come for the information, stay for the laughs!
Episodes
We talk about sounds we love, which may be something you’d not expect hard of hearing people have. Last week Julie went on one of her patented rants, this week she gets stuck in a giggle loop!

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
