Episode Summary

Penn and Moses return from the 2025 Blind Travel Summit in Austin with a whirlwind of stories, laughter, unforgettable encounters, and a lineup of future guests you won’t want to miss. From interviewing four world-traveling blind adventurers live on stage, to axe-throwing with teenagers who inexplicably have elite axe-thrower energy, to getting kicked out of a Waymo for having too many blind people in one autonomous car… this recap is everything listeners love about The Blind Chick: hilarious, heartfelt, chaotic, inspiring, and deeply rooted in community.

Across the episode, Penn and Moses highlight Orly, Jean, Sean, and Krista—four blind travelers whose stories were so good the team is dedicating full-length episodes to each of them in 2026. The hosts also share lessons learned from conversations with accessibility teams at Waymo, Airbnb, United Airlines, and Uber, plus heartfelt reflections on guide dog etiquette, blind travel culture, and the powerful moments of connection woven throughout the summit.

It’s a joyful, funny, emotional, story-packed travel recap that sets the stage for a massive parade of future Blind Chick guests— from AI podcaster Sean Keene to wood-burning artist Krista Webb, musician Robert Kelly of Blue Mist, philanthropist Grayson, worldwide traveler Mike, and more.
