In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about how some people and agencies treat the word blind like a four letter word. It's not -- on multiple levels. I also talk about the recently concluded National Federation of the Blind National Convention #NFB20. I participated much more than I thought I would have. Questions, comments, ideas: (646) 926-6350.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about time and how it is the most precious commodity. With everything I have going on this week and the additional time it takes me to do just about anything, I really could use just a little more. What's your take? (646) 926-6350.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about a few instances where sighted folks weren't sure how to speak to me or describe something to me. I also talk about the best way to guide a blind person. Spoiler alert: if you can hold a can of soda or can of beer, you can do it! I want to hear from you. Call (646) 926-6350.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about helping Jane move from her apartment in NYC's Financial District to the Upper East Side. It was Eliz's and my first time in NYC since mid-February. It was very different for us this time around. Even though she's got a bigger space now, Jane will continue to work from our apartment in Swarthmore.  Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/081

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about dealing with Verizon customer service (again) and one thing in particular they said to me: Sorry to hear about the handicap. That's great, but did it change the way they tried to help me? The agent even told me they weren't going to have me try something. If I were sighted, would they have had me do it? One thing I know, it didn't get me Netflix or Hulu any quicker or access to the sites on the internet I couldn't reach. Questions, comments, show ideas? Call (646) 926-6350.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I tell some stories about my dad from when I was a kid. He was a POW during World War II for 13 months, held by the Nazis in Germany and Poland. He was also a small business owner, operating supermarkets in the Philadelphia area. I also talk about how mass communications happen between our condo association and the residents in 2020. Questions, comments, show ideas? Let me hear 'em! (646) 926-6350. Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/079

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about celebrating 30 years of marriage to Eliz and how different things are today than back in 1990.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about voting in the Pennsylvania Primary. Voting was very different this year and wasn't accessible to me (though I think there would have been a way for me to vote accessibly if Eliz wasn't with me.) Had I requested an absentee ballot, I could have voted at home electronically, thanks to a last minute court order. Questions, comments, show ideas? Call (646) 926-6350 and leave a message!

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about my offer to help small businesses recover after being closed for so long. I've owned and operated various small businesses since I was 21 (longer if you count the lemonade stands I had as a kid,) so I know how much time, money, and effort owners put into their businesses to make them successful.

In this episode of the iCantCU Podcast, I talk about how important it is to tell me the full story. Verbal communication, as descriptive as possible, is needed for someone who is blind or visually impaired because they can't "see it for themselves." Think radio play-by-play, not tv.
