What happens when you lose something you thought you'd always have? What happens when the thing you lose is one of your senses? Bet Kline is deaf. That wasn't the case a year ago. Now that her life has been upended, she has to figure out how to carve out a new path for herself and navigate her way down it. Easier said than done.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast! Easy to get sucked in.
This podcast is wonderful. It takes your interest within the first episode. So often I come across some that I have to wait for them to get better but not this one. It’s great from the start. Main character has a great since of humor in navigating her new life since becoming deaf. All characters are well played and I’m just all over satisfied with my listener experience. Give it a listen!
Hilarious, witty, and heartbreaking 😭
Well, I started listening and now I can’t stop. The narrator Bet is navigating a newly closed off world where complicated familial relationships get complicated-er, and the community they seek speaks a whole different language.
Bet copes with my favorite mechanism, humor, and I’m finding myself laughing out loud when I’m all alone. Bet also absolutely eviscerates rude/creepy men and it’s a delight to listen to the sharp takedowns ✨
The sound design is absolute ear-candy and beautifully highlights some of the struggles that Bet faces as they walk through a regular day. I’m so excited to learn more about Bet, but also about deafness and a perspective that I’m unfamiliar with.
All my thumbs WAY up 👍👍👍
Excellent story and insight
I feel like I learned a lot from listening to this but in a sneaky way because the story was well written, acted, and produced.
