William Pogor joins us on the Blind Podcasters’ Roundtable to discuss using Ferrite Recording Studio for iOS. Ferrite is a powerful multitrack recording suite, designed with some specific features for blind people using VoiceOver.

Digital audio restoration has come a long way. It is generally considered that the best in the bunch is Izotope RX.

Our guests in this episode are Mark Hills and Marc Bakos, founders of Cleanfeed. They joined us in Clubhouse to talk about the service in general, also exchanging information about accessibility for blind people using screen readers.

This podcast focusses on how to podcast from a blindness perspective.

In this edition of the Blind Podcasters’ Roundtable first broadcast live on Clubhouse, Can Kirca describes the Rodecaster Pro, a powerhouse of a mixer and recorder specifically for podcasting that has taken the podcast world by storm. How easy is it for blind people to use this device independently, particularly given that it has a touch screen? What can you do with it, and how does it compare with the Zoom Podtrak P4?

We were delighted to have Ed Filowat as our guest taking questions and suggestions from the Blind Podmaker community on Clubhouse. Ed develops Backpack Studio.

Backpack Studio is an app for iOS for recording podcasts in real-time or streaming live. Boasting advanced features like dynamic audio compression, a sound board and saving to various destinations in a variety of formats, it’s a powerful tool, and its developer, Ed Filowat, has ensured that the app’s VoiceOver accessibility is exemplary.

Glen Gordon, host of Freedom Scientific’s FSCast, joins us to talk about editing your podcast. What should you take out, how should you decide, and what makes a good edit? There are also helpful contributions and questions from those who came on stage in our Clubhouse room.
