Presented by the Williams Syndrome Association, the Starry-Eyed Podcast™ explores the joys and challenges of living with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disability. Each episode will feature interviews with adults with WS and professionals and caregivers dedicated to raising awareness and resources.
The show is hosted by Jennifer Keeton, a mom to teenager Stella with WS, and an exceptional advocate for all I/DD, and Brenden Lemieux, is a man with Williams syndrome who enjoys music (he plays drums in a couple of bands), serves on the WSA Board of Trustees, and competes in the Special Olympics (among other activities). The show is produced by (and occasionally features) Joel Liestman, a dad to teenager Bennett with WS, and the WSA's Director of Family Support.
The show is sponsored by Innersense Organic Beauty.
