Mystic Access Podcast

Today’s episode begins with a very important announcement about audio documentation for the BlindShell Classic 2 phone. Many BlindShell customers have asked us about documentation, and we know how much you value audio instruction as part of your learning process. We’re truly sorry, and know many of you will be disappointed that isn’t available.

Please note that we aren’t having a free event for January. The month just got away from us as our calendar gradually filled with more and more projects, and we don’t want to offer you all a half-baked event. Stay tuned, however, as something fun is coming for February which we’ll announce in the next episode.

Our main topic for this time will either fascinate or gross you out. Chris discusses the SonicBrite Artificial Eye-Cleaning System. We demo how it sounds, and have a discussion about prosthetic eyes.

Thanks for listening!

Because it’s a bran new year we wanted to focus on ways to renew yourself in today’s episode. But first, we have some special announcements. The Mystic Access shop now has the ability to tell you whether you’ve purchased a product in the past, so you won’t accidentally buy it again unless you intend to. Just read carefully when you’re adding products to your cart to make sure you’re not re-purchasing something by mistake. More details are shared in the episode.

Our podcast site now has its very own tip jar. If you aren’t really interested in our audio documentation or other products, but enjoy the podcast and wish to tip us to support all the hard work that goes into producing each episode you may now do so here.

Finally, we also have a new event that many of you are already super excited about. Learn to successfully connect and interact with others, discover those who share your interest, and protect yourself while using Facebook. Kim discusses how the event works, more about what you’ll learn, and how you can get an even more incredible price on this already affordable event if you act quickly.

Next, Chris discusses the highly-accessible food and exercise tracking app MyPlate, which you can learn more about on this page. While he shows the iOS version, a version is available for Android, too. We talk about why we like it, its many benefits, and, of course, its layout using VoiceOver.

Speaking of exercise, Kim gives a brief overview and tour of the Walk At Home system and app. This app offers a wealth of material and a fairly pleasant user experience on iOS, except in one key area which Kim demonstrates. The app is also available for Android. Learn more and sign up for a plan at the link above.

Finally, we discuss our new Winter purchase, a Snow Joe® snow thrower. Why do we think it’s so great? Listen to find out.

As always, thanks so much for listening! Happy 2022!

This is just a short audio message to welcome everyone to 2022. May it be a great one.

This episode introduces the new, hopefully much-simplified, Mystic Access multi-step checkout process. Chris shows you what it’s like to check out as both a new and existing customer. We hope this makes your shopping experience with us easier and more pleasant. If you’d still rather call to order, we understand, and you always have that option should you prefer.

We also end the year with a castle interview with Ray Wright, a totally blind woodturner. We hope you enjoy our fascinating conversation with Ray as much as we did.
