Rare with Flair

hi hello hey–do you hear that?? it’s a new episode! Once upon a time, we did an episode about our favorite things, which included a few favorite smells. As visually impaired women, we’re still visual people, but we also rely on our other four senses quite a bit. We thought it would be fun to create a little “Sensory Series” exploring our favorite things from each nonvisual sense (and maybe our least favorites too?). To kick things off, we’re talking all about our favorite sounds! Some are universally satisfying, while others are incredibly specific sounds tied to memories and people in our lives. From ocean waves and crackling fire to the jingle of keys and the click of high heels, we’re sharing the sounds that make us smile. Do you have favorite sounds we missed? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! And keep an eye out for future episodes in our Sensory Series!

who could’ve predicted we’d still be hi, hello-ing, and hey-ing 6 years later?! Wow, podience! We can’t believe this is our SIXTH podaversary. 2020 seems like a lifetime ago, and we had to take a beat to think about everything that’s changed since then. Since recording in our parents’ houses during a global pandemic, we’ve each made a myriad of changes, both large and small, all while keeping the pod a constant in our evolving lives. While “things change” isn’t exactly breaking news, we wanted to take a moment to honor where we started and where we are now. Of course, we also wanted to take a moment to thank all our listeners. From the OGs to new fans who binge the entire show to casual listeners in between, we would just be FaceTiming into the void without you. Thank you to anyone who’s ever emailed us or approached us at a conference to tell us you enjoy the show. If we’ve ever made you feel less alone as someone with a disability, or if you’ve learned something new from us, we feel like we’ve accomplished what we’d hoped. Thank you for six lovely years of storytelling, laughter, and growth. We truly couldn’t have done it without you! related episodes If you’d like to take a stroll down memory lane, start with our very first episode, or check out our five other podaversary episodes in the Podaversary category. Especially check out last year’s podaversary episode, where we revisited some of our opinions on disability-related topics and discovered that, shockingly, we’ve changed our minds about a few things. For some of the early episodes we mention in this one, check out our early style episode to see just how much we’ve changed (and to date ourselves a little), along with our early music episode. Six years later, we’re still here, and apparently we still have things to say. Here’s to many more! Case + Cass caught in true form at the HPS conference, 2026
