Host Sam Smith sits down for a deep dive with the winner of The Traitors New Zealand, Sam Smith who is legally blind.  The highs, the lows, the strategy, the emotion, Sam bears all.

And just to be clear, yes he is interviewing himself. 

This time Sam sits down to chat with Karen O'Leary, the star of Wellington Paranormal, Paddy Gower Has Issues, What We Do In The Shadows, and many more things as well. But what you might not know is that Karen is low vision! 

In this episode, we team up with the Big Fact Hunt podcasters Thom Adams, Jen Jewell, and Nathan Kenny to find fun facts against the clock. We had just 30 minutes to find the most fascinating facts about blind animals and as you can expect, we got wildly off course. Listen, learn and laugh along with this great episode. 

Peter D Tutty and I have been online friends for a while now, so it was great to chat with him about his incredible work ethic, his philosophy on life as a blind author, and his blossoming TikTok career. You won't want to miss this episode!

In this episode, Sam Smith discusses podcasting, the arts, and finding your way in the world with low vision with the host of the Bean Break podcast Blake Sebastian. They connect over the theatre and show that with a bit of drive, anyone can make a podcast.

Josh Davies is a great kiwi comedian doing wonderful work in the comedy community, and in his role with the fundraising team at BLVNZ. I'm always impressed by how funny and smart Josh is, he never fails to put a smile on my dial - so have a listen, he might do the same for you. 

In this episode Sam sat down with author and illustrator Richard Fairgray, a kiwi now living in Hollywood. 

In our summer episode, we join forces with the Everything You Didn't Need To Know About podcast. Sam sat down with zoologist Dr Nathan Kenny, lawyer Jen Jewell, and science communicator Thom Adams to discuss all the little things you didn't know about Braille. Be warned- there are a LOT of hilarious tangents! You'll laugh and you'll learn. Check out EYDNTKA on YouTube and Spotify. 

In our spring episode, we talk to Julie Woods who is taking the world by storm with her positive spin on life and not letting blindness slow her down. From writing a million names in braille to refereeing nude rugby, our chat with Julie was an absolute delight.
