The gang returns for 2026 with CES chat, and predictions that will age like milk! What's inside: Kayaker freezes in New England; Sean freezes in the original England; Garth refuses to stop being sunny Steven Scott drops in from Double Tap and immediately turns "a quick chat" into "a feature-length film" AirPods Pro 3 praise, ear-tip rage, and the haunting tale of the "dog-processed" AirPods The Lightsaber Cane: brilliant, ridiculous, heavier than normal, and only sometimes practical "Does this confuse the public?" Spoiler: the public is already confused Keychron keyboards, accessibility quirks, and a CES announcement of a concrete keyboard (because why not) HP's keyboard-with-a-computer concept: Robot future: great in factories, questionable in living rooms, nightmare fuel for kids' toys AI glasses talk: open ecosystems, camera access, LiDAR dreams, and "Meta, please stop resetting" Braille label printer news: useful… if the app isn't a disaster 2026 predictions: Siri overhaul (again), Google wearables rising, AI hype deflating, and general tech chaos Overall, CES + accessibility + Star Wars + keyboards + mild existential dread. Exactly what you came for.

We're delighted to return with another Christmas audio drama. This time we're revisiting Dr Seuss's classic The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and giving it an accessibility twist. We truly appreciate all those who lent their voices to make this possible. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year from the Audio Pizza team!

In this holiday edition of Audio Pizza, Kayaker, Sean and Garth dive into what Sean saw at Sight Village London. They chat through new low-vision and blindness tech including the Angel Eye document reader, Luna night-vision glasses for RP, and HumanWare's upcoming BrailleNote Evolve Windows notetaker. Sean also gets hands-on with the ultra-light Svárovský cane, and shares updated impressions of the Glide autonomous mobility device. To top it off, Kayaker unveils an MIT-built "Uber car finder" iPhone app, available via TestFlight, that helps blind users locate the right vehicle in busy pickup areas.

Audio Pizza's annual holiday gift guide is back, with Sean, Garth and Kayaker trading banter, bad weather reports and actually decent present ideas. They compare Meta smart glasses with newer AI-first options, talk through why Apple's AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch remain go-to tech gifts, and get surprisingly passionate about good iPhone cases, light-up white canes, and properly sharp kitchen knives. Garth throws in tactile Hanayama puzzles and UV-printed tactile photos as great options for blind and low-vision friends, and the trio round things out with a defence of gift cards, a detour into accessible jigsaws, and a spirited argument about cutting up food and eating with your hands.

After a four-year hiatus, we're delighted to welcome you back to the Words Words Words podcast. Along with a couple of featured words from Douglas Adams' wonderful book "The meaning of Liff", this episode includes a listener-contributed word, Battersea Park. Thanks Sally for sending it through. If you have any ideas to contribute, please get in touch.

Battersea Park (verb) - The act of assaulting a poorly parked car, by a blind person with their white cane. Whilst neither recommended nor encouraged, this can relieve ones frustration when suddenly coming across a car which has been left casually across a path, or somewhere else it should not have been.

You can find earlier episodes in this series here.

In this episode of Audio Pizza, Shaun, Garth, and Kayaker try on the future—AI-powered smart glasses that promise to help us blind folk find our way without walking into quite so many lamp posts. After that, they swap specs for security, digging into the iOS settings that can keep your iPhone safer than a squirrel guarding its last nut. And remember: if you must steal an iPhone… Shaun's is apparently the one to go for.

Fun and games? Not exactly. In this edition of Audio Pizza, Shaun, Garth, and Kayaker try to talk about what they do for fun and games… only to reveal they're not all that fun and don't actually play that many games. But what they lack in actual gameplay, they make up for with quick banter, questionable opinions, and spirited chats about entertainment, video games, blind sports, and the occasional board game.

The elite Audio Pizza team digs deep into close to 100 sessions from Apple's World Wide Developer Conference, but they were unavailable, so Shaun, Garth and Kayaker fill in at the last minute.

The crew also digs into a host's question about the best accessible network attached storage options for your home. Best of all, you'll not want to miss the intro spoof, ok you might want to miss it, but give it a listen anyway.

We won't bury the lead, Garth is back! Yes, he's tired, but what else is new? Well, Garth, Shaun and Kayaker will tell you all about Global Accessibility Awareness Day and the key take aways from Apple. And, we respond to a listener's question regarding what we do when we get our new phones.
