Guest appearances
We usually ask the questions. These are the times someone asked us — 6 conversations on other people’s shows about dyslexia, advocacy, and what the last few years have actually been like.
Autistic Techie with Shea Belsky
Dyslexia Advocacy and Engineering Management with Nicholas Solter
What advocating for a dyslexic kid does to the way you run a team. Nick and Shea get into accessibility as a management habit rather than a compliance checklist, and why the skills you learn in an IEP meeting turn out to transfer.
Right to Read with Jennifer Bernheim
Every Dyslexia Journey is Different with Dyslexia Journey Podcast Host Nick Solter
Jennifer Bernheim founded Right to Read Advocacy after her own son's diagnosis, and this conversation is about why no two dyslexia journeys look the same — and what that means for a parent trying to follow somebody else's playbook.
Jennifer on our show: How a Dyslexia Advocate can Help You! Ft. Jennifer Bernheim, Founder of Right to Read Advocacy
Brainrich Podcast with Yegor Nadvornyy
Understanding Dyslexia: Insights on Parenting and Education
A short, practical one aimed at parents and teachers: the misconceptions that do the most damage, why identifying dyslexia early matters so much, and the case for trusting your gut when a school tells you to wait and see.
Dyslexia Explored with Darius Namdaran
The Dyslexia Journey: Chronicling Life with Dyslexia
The long one, and the only one with both of us on it. Why we started the show, what the year after our daughter's diagnosis actually looked like from the inside, and what we would say to a parent standing at the beginning of it.

A New Perspective with Tim Sutton
Decoding the World of Dyslexia
Tim Sutton is a police officer who makes a show about invisible disabilities, so this one starts from the beginning: what dyslexia is, what it very much is not, and what advocating for one kid teaches you about advocating for everyone else's.

The Aware Parenting Podcast with Marion Rose, PhD
Nick Solter
Not a dyslexia episode, mostly. Nick's mother is Aletha Solter, who founded Aware Parenting, which makes him — his words — the original guinea pig for it. This is about growing up that way and then raising two kids the same way. Dyslexia Journey was three months old when it was recorded, and it comes up near the end.
