  • Content and perspective of guests can be greatly updated and diversified

    I’ve checked in with this podcast periodically over the years and have found too many of the guests belong to white privileged classes. The perspectives and insights of the topics and guests can be greatly diversified and updated to reflect current class, cultural, and gender perspectives.

    For example, the last episode was about marriage and the visual loss experience. The couple they choose to interview provided superficial answers and were not able to talk deeply about the emotional experienc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Staying Active with Vision Loss
Q: If someone is looking to connect with an Achilles chapter, what's the process?
There are multiple chapters worldwide; you can find your local chapter on Achilles International's website, and if no chapter exists nearby, programs like United in Stride help connect you with running or walking guides in your community.
Staying Active with Vision Loss
Q: So Erin, when someone first connects with Achilles, what happens after that?
An engagement team reaches out, explains expectations, pairs the person with a guide if needed, and helps them plan a first walk or run, emphasizing that some people will choose not to continue, which is perfectly fine.
Tapping Back into Laughter After Vision Loss
Q: So Ricky, did you ever experience the movie Titanic?
Yes, I did; the moment made me shed tears and reminded me of emotional vulnerability, which I eventually channeled into humor in everyday life.
Home-Based Tech Tools: What Really Helps When You Have Vision Loss
Q: What is your process for researching which smart devices will actually work for blind people without having to buy and return everything?
He suggests turning to trusted resources like Double Tap for practical reviews focused on accessibility, starting small, and building a smart home gradually around real needs such as lighting or door entry. He also highlights community input from listeners who share experiences with specific appliances and apps.
Home-Based Tech Tools: What Really Helps When You Have Vision Loss
Q: You might have heard about smart homes or smart devices for your home, but what exactly does that mean? And for someone with vision loss, what are the pros and cons for having these devices in your house that can be connected and controlled with a smartphone or a voice assistant?
Steven explains that smart homes should be simple and usable, with a hub like an Echo or Google Home that can be controlled by voice. He emphasizes selecting accessible tools that are reliable, easy to set up, and fit the user's needs, not just the latest gadget. He also notes the importance of considering the non-tech person in the home and starting with practical, high-utility devices.
