Blind Podcast Episodes

Our Shows

The iCantCU Podcast launched in late 2018 to serve visually impaired and blind people and their friends and family. I have found that most sighted people have never interacted with a person who is blind and don’t know what to do or how to deal with them. The podcast provides information and stories for sighted people on ways they can help to make life easier for those with little to no vision. If you are one of those blind or visually impaired people, you will relate to some of my stories and hopefully pick up some new ideas.

Rokid Style Smart Glasses Review After a Real-World Blind Travel Test

Key Podcast Moments Ziggy’s lymphoma treatments hit a major complication after swallowing a corn cob. I tested the Rokid Style smart glasses during a trip to Baltimore. The Rokid glasses struggled at times with voice commands in loud environments. Ray-Ban Meta glasses still outperform Rokid for my day-to-day use. Navigation and AI guidance remain the […]

Real Life, Real Loss, Real Progress

Key Podcast Moments I share the loss of my close friend Ken Stock. Ziggy’s cancer treatment hits another setback. A broken refrigerator adds stress to an already heavy season. The Business Enterprise Program assessments are nearly complete. Vending may become the next entrepreneurial chapter. Accessibility tools continue creating independence in travel and business. Big life […]

Rokid Style Delays and Choosing Ziggy Over Vegas

Rokid Style delays, Ray-Ban Meta comparisons, and the hard decision to skip Vegas when Ziggy’s lymphoma reminded me what really matters.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Took Me From PHL to Podfest

In episode 295 of iCantCU, I share how Ray-Ban Meta Glasses helped me travel blind from PHL to Podfest—navigating airports, a hotel, and a busy conference with confidence.

The Unexpected Connection Between Chinese Food and Audio Description

In episode 294 of iCantCU, I kick off 2026 by connecting a few things that don’t seem related at first: Chinese food on Christmas, audio description on TV and movies, and what happens when accessibility goes mainstream. I share what the holidays look like in our house—with Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s, and both kids’ birthdays […]

Testing Ray-Ban Meta Display Smart Glasses at Meta Labs NYC

In episode 293 of iCantCU, I take you along for a cold—but memorable—day trip to New York City with Jane, where holiday chaos, quality time, and cutting-edge tech collide. The highlight was our visit to Meta Labs, where I spent hands-on time testing the new Ray-Ban Meta Display Smart Glasses to see what they might […]

Why My Picture Might Be Hanging at the Train Station

In this episode, I catch you up on everything that’s been keeping me busy around the NFB of Pennsylvania. As convention chair for our 2025 convention in Harrisburg, I walk through how the weekend went—sponsors, auction totals, banquet fundraising, Family Feud night with Amazon gift cards and consolation candy bars, and the great support […]

From Hershey to NYC: Rideshares, Roadblocks, and Resilience

October was nonstop. I was in Hershey, Pittsburgh, and New York twice, and on every single trip, there was a transportation curveball. SEPTA canceled trains, Amtrak was late, ride shares were pricey or didn’t show, and I even had to cross a four-lane road in Pittsburgh with no traffic light. I still made it to Dancing in the Dark, the PATTAN Tech Adventures event, the Blind Travel Foundation fundraiser, and Laugh for Sight, picking up ideas for our NFB of PA state convention along the way. I talk about why I lean toward Lyft, how arthritis makes travel trickier, and why sponsors need to jump in now. Plus, Ziggy got drenched in the rain and I still recorded from Studio B this week.

Blindness Misconceptions: From Healthcare to Parenting Rights

In this episode of iCantCU, I catch you up on where I’ve been and dive into some pretty unbelievable questions I was asked by a healthcare professional—like how I get dressed, not what I wear, but literally how I put on clothes. It’s troubling when educated people in healthcare still hold such misconceptions about blindness, […]

Ally Solos Smartglasses vs. Ray-Ban Meta Smartglasses

In this episode of iCantCU, I’m finally back after a month and diving into the Ally Solos—new smart glasses from Envision designed specifically for blind and low-vision users. Unlike Ray-Ban or Oakley Metas, these aren’t built for social media first. They won’t shoot video at launch, but they’ll capture photos and focus on accessibility features […]

My Take on Oakley Metas, the NFB Convention, and Accessibility Fails

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about the new Oakley Meta smartglasses and why, despite the hype, I’m holding off for now. The camera’s not centered like I’d hoped, and they still only shoot vertical video—great if you’re all-in on Instagram, not so much for YouTube. The recording time is a win, though: 30 […]

From Studio B to the Kitchen: A New Format

In this episode of iCantCU, I’m trying something completely different—an audio-only format recorded while walking laps around my house. I talk about the frustration of unreliable audio description devices at theaters and why it’s such a barrier for blind patrons like me. I also share how my recent Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses videos on YouTube […]
