Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Ep1305: Sight Loss No Barrier For Blind DJ
Q: What makes the perfect gig?
He states there is no perfect gig; success comes from audience connection, reliable equipment, and being able to adapt, with a preference for hands-on control over equipment rather than relying on automation.
S2 Ep1305: Sight Loss No Barrier For Blind DJ
Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself, please, and about your sight condition.
He explains he has been blind since birth due to a condition called Norrie's disease, describes the day-to-day experience, and expresses a desire to see but accepts his reality; he also mentions how research and charity work around the condition provide support.
S2 Ep1299: All About Healthy Exercise…
Q: Elizabeth, is walking still a good form of exercise to do then?
Yes, walking remains a highly effective and accessible form of exercise, with research showing it lowers dementia risk when done regularly, particularly at brisk pace to reach zone two intensity.
S2 Ep1298: Paul Hotckiss On Unexpected Sight Loss And VI Tennis
Q: So can you tell us a bit about your life before sight loss?
I was very active, traveling and working as a freelance sales rep, putting in huge mileage and enjoying motorsports, skiing, and hill walking before losing sight in one eye and then the other; it was a rapid, life-changing pivot.
S2 Ep1301: Looking Ahead To The Education Transitions Conference
Q: What can attendees expect in terms of formats and sessions?
Attendees can expect a mix of scene-setting talks, discussions on mental health, curriculum framework topics, a professional panel for audience Q&A, and a student-led segment chaired by BlindTobes, plus breakout sessions to brainstorm and capture sector-wide challenges.
