On the show this week we find out about a new daily weather forecast podcast that has been launched by Met Éireann. The podcast offers a convenient and accessible way to find out the weather forecast if you are on the move and is also available through your smart speaker. To find out more we are joined by Evelyn Cusack, head of forecasting with Met Éireann, and Joanne Walker, Senior meteorological officer with Met Éireann.

The new daily weather forecast podcast can be accessed at https://audioboom.com/channels/5003380

More information is available at https://www.met.ie/forecasts/listen-to-the-weather-forecast along with a link to a long-form weather/climate discussion podcast. 

Next our conversation moves to smart glasses and the potential benefits they offer to people with impaired vision. We focus on devices such as the OrCam, which can be used to read text, identify various products, currency, credit cards, and even recognise faces.
