Guide Dogs, Mobility Freedom, and the Zoom P4 Next 

[Overview]  

Discover the Zoom PodTrak P4 Next and how it’s transforming accessible podcasting for blind and visually impaired creators. Steven Scott, Shaun Preece, and guest Damashe Thomas from the Technically Working podcast explore guide dog training, mobility tech, and the hands-on experience of recording with this professional yet portable device.

In this episode, Steven shares his first week of training with guide dog Koko—including the physical and emotional challenges, the joy of regaining travel freedom, and the differences between using a guide dog and a white cane. Shaun joins in with his trademark humour and curiosity, asking how mobility, trust, and daily routines evolve with a working dog.

The conversation shifts into tech as Damashe Thomas from Technically Working dives into the Zoom PodTrak P4 Next. The trio break down its accessibility features, AI noise reduction, recording workflow, and how it compares to the original P4 for blind podcasters. They also share tips on gear setup, portable recording, and why uniform mics and headphones can make all the difference.
