  KARA: A Switched at Birth recap podcast. [THEME MUSIC]

  KARA: I am
• 0:21
  deaf. I was born completely Deaf. But I did not
• 0:24
  start learning sign until about three or four
• 0:27
  years ago. So I am now proficient in sign. But
• 0:30
  when I first watched the show in middle school,
• 0:32
  I was not. But I really appreciated the Deaf
• 0:35
  representation at the time. And it's very cool
• 0:38
  now to watch the show through a new lens, now
• 0:41
  knowing sign and more about Deaf culture. Oh,
• 0:43
  yeah. And I also have cochlear implants. I have
• 0:46
  bilateral cochlear implants. So I have...
• 0:46
  DANI: Does
• 0:49
  that mean two? [CHUCKLES]
• 0:49
  KARA: I have two cochlear implants.
• 0:52
  DANI: No, I'm asking you for me. [LAUGHS]
• 0:52
  KARA: Bi-lateral means two.
• 0:57
  Yes, bi is two.
• 0:57
  DANI: Okay, thank you.
• 0:57
  KARA: And you're so
• 0:59
  smart.
• 0:59
  DANI: I am hearing, and I was homeschooled as
• 1:03
  a kid, and I took sign language classes with
• 1:06
  a bunch of my friends. Then when this show started
• 1:08
  coming out, we started watching it together every
• 1:11
  week. As far as sign language goes, I've never
• 1:13
  felt proficient.
• 1:13
  KARA: I would say you're proficient.
• 1:16
  DANI: That's so sweet of you to say. That's really
• 1:18
  sweet.
• 1:18
  KARA: The bar's in hell, but I think you're
• 1:20
  proficient. [BOTH LAUGH]
• 1:20
  DANI: But yeah, we're two best friends.
• 1:24
  We live in New York City now and we're going
• 1:26
  to revisit the show every week.
• 1:26
  KARA: Yeah, each episode
• 1:30
  is going to cover one episode of the show. And
• 1:32
  DANI: I can't wait to just talk about all the drama,
• 1:35
  but also all the Deaf culture stuff that they
• 1:38
  got right.
• 1:38
  KArA: Yeah, all the things they got right
• 1:40
  and all the things they got horribly wrong. [MUSIC]
