AI is not a solution for the disability community (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Billy K welcomes host Ron Small, along with Sharing Common Ground's own writer and social media guru Liv Dennis for a spirited discussion of the pitfalls of AI from the perspective of the disability community, primarily those who share Billy's sight-impairment. As a member of the "next generation," Liv understands things a little differently, having been raised with this new technology almost from birth. And for her first time "on the air," Liv did an incredible job.
Carol Sheckler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Billy K welcomes Carol Sheckler to Sharing Common Ground for a personal tour of her life married to a Vietnam Veteran who has battled PTSD throughout their entire relationship. Carol does not hold back in this highly revealing assessment and laments the reality that counseling and other assistance for the spouses of veterans with PTSD is virtually non-existent. This interview should incite you to become an advocate and ally, especially if you know someone battling the same condition.

Frank and Billy are old friends and their mutual respect is quite evident in this interview. Enjoy!
Bill Love (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Join Billy K for a wonderful interview with old friend Bill Love, the Executive Director of the Beaufort County Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, which advocates for people with developmental disabilities and special needs so they can live more productively and inclusively. Bill has a most impressive resume and is certainly a glowing example of those unsung heroes who give back to the community.
Phil Sheckler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Join Billy as he interviews Phil Sheckler a retired telecommunications executive who is also a Vietnam veteran of the US Navy, having served in a virtually unknown division called the Sea Wolves. Upon returning home, Phil was ultimately diagnosed with severe PTSD and at 76 years old has been battling this diagnosis on a daily basis. Perhaps as importantly he spends his retirement years giving back to the Veteran's community by helping those with no outlet find treatment options. This is riveting
