Yours Truly Guests on the ‘Access All’ Podcast

Late last week, I received an email from a producer at BBC News who asked if I’d be interested in coming on the network’s podcast about disability, called Access All, to discuss my experiences using Waymo for my transportive needs in San Francisco. I happily agreed to come on, and we recorded the episode on Monday. To my surprise and delight, it posted earlier today for everyone to listen to in their favorite podcast app.

Besides yours truly, the episode features my friend Amanda Ventura at Waymo, as well as Emma Vogelmann. Vogelmann is co-CEO at UK-based organization Transport for All.

My cameo is timely, as it coincides with Waymo’s announcement it will be bringing its autonomous vehicles across the pond beginning in 2026. In a statement accompanying the news, Waymo’s own co-CEO in Tekedra Mawakana—whom I’ve interviewed in the past—said the company is “thrilled” to soon bring Waymo to Londoners, adding its service is “making roads safer and transportation more accessible where we operate [and] we’ve demonstrated how to responsibly scale fully autonomous ride-hailing, and we can’t wait to expand the benefits of our technology to the United Kingdom.”
