Phil Parr had a dream, and a desire to help those who could not accept their blindness. In the hopes of illustrating to men and women around the world that blindness was not the be all and end all of their existence. They did not have to sit in a home, twiddling their thumbs, giving others permission to accomplish tasks they could accomplish themselves.

Join Phil Parr, as he interviews regular people, letting people know how the people he interviewed got past their blindness and were able to live with it.

Join Phil Parr on Blind Like Me, every Saturdays at 10:00 am (EST), 7:00 am (PST) and 3:00 pm (GMT), on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway.

Picture this…

A group of men, sitting in a converted garage studio, knocking back the suds on a hot Texas afternoon, and talking about their various home handymen projects…

Now picture the men as being blind and visually impaired, and you have the Blind Handyman, with Phil Parr, the creator, producer and host of the show, his compatriots, Don Shaw, Don Patterson and Tom Houston. Together, these men decided to get together to let people know that the blind can accomplish any job, if they have the know-how, and the funds with which to support their projects. The Blind Handyman crew bring you the first of those solutions, and the second one is up to the handyman, blind or not.

Here now is The Blind Handyman, in the hopes of inspiring others the same way they inspired Victor, when he first went blind in 2002. Enjoy, as these four men regale you with tales of their projects and how they accomplished them, and how you can do the same, with just a few tools and confidence.

Whose Blind Life is it Anyway is proud to broadcast these shows again, in their entirety in the hopes that, what they gave Victor hope to get past his blindness, and live a fulfilling life, will inspire others with the same assurance.

Come join the Blind Handyman Crew, every Saturdays, at 9:00 am (EST), 6:00 am (PST), 2:00 pm (GMT), on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway.

Presenting a fresh way of learning.

Zoe Fiogkos gives her viewers and listeners a chance to explore how she takes in information, and giving her audience the ability to find out if her way of learning is able to help them.

Apple computers have made accessibility an integral part of their operating system, so much that Apple Computers were the first to incorporate a functional screen reader that would function right out of the box on most of their models. Zoe’s goal is to give brand new users to MAC computers the tools they need to be able to use a MAC right out of the box. Whether you’re just running a MAC for the first time, or you’re coming to a MAC in the store that you wish to try, you can use these episodes to get started, and as the series progresses, she introduces different strategies and instructions you can use to perform different tasks with a MAC.

While up to now, Zoe has offered you instructions on how to be able to initially operate the MAC computer, at some point, she knows her viewers will want to configure Voiceover to their specifications. On this episode, Zoe details the Voiceover Utility, where one can configure verbosity settings, how much feedback the user would want to be read out, and the speed of the synthesizer. This episode is part one of the Voiceover Utility, and you will want to tune in to learn more about the Voiceover Utility on future episodes.

We come into contact with life savers every day, whether they be doctors, police, ambulance crews and even firemen and women, it is very rare to come into contact with someone that saves your life tangentially. Don Shaw was such a man for me. Along with Phil Parr, Tom Houston and Don Patterson, Don Shaw was one of a quartet of men who were able to inspire Victor, at a time when he was at his lowest point. Having lost his job, and his sight, Victor went into a dark depression he never thought he would ever escape from, and then, The Blind Handyman and Blind Like Me show was found.

Being broadcast on ACB Radio, and various radio reading services throughout North America, the Blind Handyman and Blind Like Me shows offered a look at the blind in a positive light, preaching the word that the blind were not helpless, as so much of the media portrayed. Hearing all that, raised Victor’s hopes that the rest of his life with blindness was not going to be over, just another inconvenience had to overcome.

Come meet Don Shaw, and perhaps you’ll be just as inspired as he was, when he lost his sight.

Join Victor, as he introduces you to people he meets on a daily basis, allowing you the opportunity to see that disabilities can be lived with, and that they are just inconveniences to overcome.

Meet Me is broadcast on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway, every Mondays, at 10:00 am (EST), 7:00 am (PST), and 3:00 pm (GMT.
