October 04, 2024 The Great Audio Description Rant & Ending The Stigma Of Menstrual Health
Today on the show Steven and Shaun discuss more of your emails and comments, with another epic rant from Steven coming up, and they discuss a new menstrual tracking device for women.
Listener emails are the focus for the first half of the episode, with topics including the challenges of international pricing for tech products, the importance of Safari extensions for smoother browsing experiences, and the accessibility issues faced by Sky's streaming services and the ongoing need for improvements in audio description and accessibility in broadcasting. This topic sets Steven off on a rant following his own experiences and advocacy on the issue, often feeling ignored by those who represent the blind community in the UK.
The second half of the episode focuses in on a new product from startup Flowsense. Muna Dawd is the founder of the company and joins Steven to talk about her new device that aims to help end the stigma of menstrual health for women, and empower blind women to get up to the minute information about their monthly cycle, all tracked via an accessible app.

Today on the show Steven and Shaun discuss the experience using navigation apps such as Voice Vista, how to track your parcels and Shaun offers an easy blind-friendly setup guide to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses.
