{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
Bill, do you always do that the same way, or do you change it for different audiences?
[00:43:06]

{SPEAKER name="William Ennis/John Ennis (interpreter)"}
Oh it's not possible to keep it the same. It really depends, kinda what's coming out.

{SPEAKER name="Jo Radner"}
Hmm, hmm.

{SPEAKER name="William Ennis/John Ennis (interpreter)"}

Sometimes hearing people ask deaf people rather strange questions about their deafness. And this is, this turns into a kind of series of jokes that are very much enjoyed at the same time that they're a little bit deplored in the deaf community.
[00:43:48]

{SPEAKER name="Barbara Kannapell/John Ennis (interpreter)"}

Transcription Notes:
The moderator is Jan DeLap - not Barbara who is a panelist. At 44:02 she seems to introduce Barbara but then speaker's voice is male - since he is the deaf interpreter.
