Our last live in studio Outlook was March 9, 2020, which was our 64th show. Brian loves numbers and it’s quite the coincidence we recorded exactly another 64 shows from home. But now we return, LIVE, with episode 129.

Back in studio, with a little VoiceOver to kick off the show, back at Western radio.

Still taking precautions against Covid (masks/vaccines/distancing)- on this week we talk September 30th and National Day For Truth and Reconciliation (land acknowledgements and Orange Shirt Day), catch up on what’s all changed (for us and more broadly) since the start of this pandemic, and how radio/podcasts are perfect for us blind people and sighted alike to be on an even playing field where nothing visual matters—for once.

What things are worth doing and having (nails done/traveling/owning print books) for a person who can’t see those things? Glitter point!

From early family Canadian Thanksgiving celebrations that include Uno, wasps, and nail polish to sighted baseball lovers being told to “look at that” from a sports announcer doing the usual on screen game calling over the radio. When you can convince the rest of the world that accessible baseball can be accessible for more people, they tend to pay attention.

Sixty-four shows done during Covid-19, on our own (mostly all interviews), at home and online, which puts us at episode 129 and it feels good being back, even if it’s once a month where we’re live on the mics.
