This week Byron talks about his experiences at the American Council of the Blind convention in Minneapolis. We get calls from SirMars, Bianca, Vennison and Keao. Lots of tech content, blindy content, and embarrassing stories were also included!

This week we dive into my closet on a quest for panties, we talk about Alexa having voice enabled skills, retro gaming, Jimmy Buffet, ACB National Convention and Crotch Spiders. SirMars, Steven, Keao, Sarah and Vennison call in to join the party. This show is NSFK!

This week we talk about how Blair came to visit over the weekend, we’ve been running SpinRite on all of the drives to improve drive reliability and speed. We talk about weird food combinations like Peanut Butter and Mayo. We talk about Anton Yelchin, actor who played Chekhov on the new Star Trek movies, who died in a freak accident. We go to a Borris Convention near the end of the show. To round out the show Vennison and SirMars calls in. Enjoy!

This week we talk about WWDC and E3 with SirMars, we talk about annoying neighbors with Sarah, and Vennison calls in and haunts us with his weird audio a couple of times. 50 Nerds of Grey and Urban Dictionary round out the show. Tune in for 2 hours of whatever.

This week Sarah and Bradford are in the studio, and SirMars, Keao, and Vennison call in. We talk about whether or not it is discrimination for McDonald’s to disallow disabled people to use the drive-thru while on foot. We also tell crazy drunk stories. Tune in for a great show, this one was one for the books!

This week we talk about the Kindle and a “hack” that allows you to build your own audio adapter. This allows blind and visually impaired users to use the VoiceView screenreader from Amazon on Kindles that don’t have speakers. We also hear from SirMars… and Vennison comes out of the woodworks! We talk briefly about Vennison’s multiple strokes he had in November and April. Sarah calls in to give us the Urban Dictionary Word of the Day and then she smashes her finger in the door. We also discuss my crippling credit card debt and how everything I bought just sits in my backpack going un-used. This and much more on this week’s Talk Zone!

This week we talk about being a fuck-up, Xfinity 80’s Spoof Commercials, K-9 and Company, a Rocky Horror Picture Show Remake and Avenue Q. We also swear a lot… so be warned this show is NSFW.

We have decided that this show is too dirty, so we clean up! We still swear and talk about adult subjects but at least our pants don’t have mustard stains anymore! Byron’s Clone does a live remote from the laundry room but it doesn’t go very well. We also provide some interesting facts about laundry. Byron talks about his electric outlet situation with his landlady, and discusses ways that he can tidy up his wiring. SirMars calls in and we discuss Windows 10 and Marvel movies, Clay needs a pair of depends! We also talk about the Raspberry Pi and a package that Blair put together that turns it into the Ultimate RFD Listening Tool!

The beginning of the show is a complete and absolute clusterfuck, Duane is haunting my radio gear methinks! Sarah, Keao, Sirmars, Sammy and Tom all join in for a fun-filled but very un-organized hot mess.

This was a very special tribute show to my dear friend Duane Whittingham. He was part of a tight-knit community of satellite radio enthusiasts. He found this group through his C-Band Satellite dish in the early 1990’s. The group has been through many incarnations but currently is known as Radio Free Dishnuts. This is where I first met him in our Internet Relay Chat. His nickname was RadioDude.

Duane was instrumental in the development and successful launch of Low-Power FM Community Radio station WTND-LP Macomb, IL. On the day the station launched, Duane had laryngitis, but his voice was the first one heard on 106.3 FM. In a gravely voice he christened the station with these words “Giving a voice to the voiceless. We are WTND-LP Macomb, The Voice.”

Duane and I spent many weekends hanging out on our “Man-Dates”. We would spend hours geeking out about anything Star Trek, Doctor Who, Technology or Radio related. We were very close friends so this show was really hard for me to do. I hope you enjoy it. Sorry for the departure of the usual kind of show.
