This episode was recorded live on Friday, May 22, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.

Nathan, covers the biggest tech stories of the week — including Google I/O's major AI announcements and a GitHub security breach — then welcomes a truly inspiring guest caller: Rhode Island photographer Norm Marsh. Legally blind, physically disabled freelance photographer. Norm joins the show by phone to celebrate the launch of his debut coffee table book, Beyond Sight: The World Through My Lens, and shares his incredible journey — from competing in Special Olympics powerlifting to discovering his passion for photography in high school. Norm opens up about how he shoots stunning Rhode Island landscapes despite being legally blind, why zoom lenses are his secret weapon, his go-to editing workflow in Lightroom and Photoshop, and his best advice for anyone looking to pick up a camera for the first time.
