Article 19 is a podcast rooted in the firm belief that access to information is a human right. Here we offer conversations and interviews for increasing awareness, empathy, and expertise around digital inclusivity. A little nerdy, and a little techy, we hope listeners end up more informed too. We will also address why the oxford comma is awesome, and always more accessible.

Tamman's Article 19 podcast speaks with author of “There Plant Eyes”, Dr. M Leona Godin.
Host Kristen Witucki, chats with Leona about the personal and cultural history of blindness and they discuss her book "There Plant Eyes". This book delves into scientific, historical, religious, and cultural phenomena that have led to the ocularcentrism of our world. “There Plant Eyes" was the subject of one of our internal book talks which we also shared here on the podcast and led to our episode on Echolocation.
Dr. M. Leona Godin is a writer, performer, speaker, and editor with a PhD from NYU in Early Modern Literature. Her nonfiction debut is There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness (Pantheon Books, 2021), which The New Yorker called a “thought-provoking mixture of criticism, memoir, and advocacy.” In addition to her extensive and impressive creative pursuits, she has spent many years teaching literature and humanities courses at NYU, and she has given lectures on art, accessibility, technology, and disability!
