The Kathie J Show | Closed captions? Thank a deaf person. July is Disability Pride Month

Crystal one of our favorite interns back on the Morning Show with Larry and Kendall. Today she's a digital accessibility advocate, self-taught engineer, and improv comedian on a mission to prove that entertainment shouldn't come with an asterisk. July is Disability Pride Month, and the 2026 theme says it all: "The World Works Better With Us." In this conversation, Crystal makes the case — closed captions, curb cuts, handrails, voice assistants — all designed for disabled people first, now used by everyone. Accessibility isn't charity. It's innovation. Crystal is also the creator of "Accommodate This: A Night of Disability Pride Comedy" at RISE Comedy in Denver on July 5th — a fully accessible improv show with ASL interpreters, live captioning, and a sensory room. Support it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... This one's fun, it's real, and Crystal's energy is everything. Hit play.

On The Kathie J show, you’re going to hear what’s going on in Kathie’s world, and she wants to talk about what’s going on in your world. This show is about you. The goal is to build a stronger connection and community right here in Colorado. We will tackle some tough issues, hopefully learn a little and highlight some amazing people – but Kathie promises that you will laugh along the way because it truly is the best medicine.
