On the show this week, we have plenty of eclectic listener contributions. A listener has a pair of those Meta Ray-ban smart glasses, and gives us a quick demo. If you have them too, let us know what you think of them and how useful you’re finding them.
Instacart is a popular service in the United States, but one listener says that new requirements are making it more difficult to use. I’m interested to learn if others are finding the same thing.
We’ll talk everything from blind yoga to listening to podcasts on a Chromebook.
It’s also my pleasure to speak this week with Christine Malec, a totally blind audio describer based in Toronto. You may well know her voice from the Talk Description To Me Podcast, and from various audio described media. We talk about the art of audio description, how a blind person gets into the industry, and the Luminato Festival in Toronto along with its associated podcast. And then, we’ll cut to black.
All this, and a lot more, in Living Blindfully 283. Our show is special because of all the contributions we receive from around the world, so don’t hesitate to be a part of it.
