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.

On this episode of the Afternoon Radio Theater Sundae, Monica brings you the classic show Gunsmoke, which first started on the radio before moving to it’s iconic spot on national television stations.

Monica brings you six Gunsmoke episodes beginning with the first pilot episodes of the series that CBS first contracted the producers to write. The first, a darker version of Phillip Marlowe type cowboy, and the second one a lighter version so CBS officials could see which resonated with test audiences.

CBS chose the lighter version, and thus the series started it’s production with one snag, the show’s main star, Howard Culver was on contact with another studio doing another western, but in the three years CBS waited for Culver to end his contract, the producers settled on a more adult themed show, and Gunsmoke was renowned as a true to life account of life in the Dodge city of the west, winning several awards for it’s production levels. Thus, a series was born that later translated onto the screen, when televisions became more mainstream.

Join Monica Jones and her crew, on The Afternoon Radio Theatre Sundae on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway, every Sundays, at 2:00 pm (EST), 11:00 am (PST), and with no distracting images to focus on, it will simply take you away to faraway lands, distant times and to meet interesting people, all using your imagination.

Canada is one of the countries known for it’s universal healthcare, and Norway currently retains the oldest universal healthcare system in the world, at over one hundred years-old.

As old as Norway’s healthcare system is, Canada’s healthcare seems to be one of the most accessible systems in the world, and it’s no wonder, utilizing both public and private healthcare, wait times vary by location, and in addition, each province retains administration of the national healthcare system on it’s own merits.

With that in mind, Ontario, being the most populous province in Canada, is most beneficial for blind and visually impaired individuals.

In Fact, Victor can attest to Ontario’s healthcare system being one of the best in the world for blind individuals, but a decision by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan has incorporated certain provisions that could pose a health risk to it’s population.

In some cases, medication is integral to maintaining a healthy well-being, and until now, doctors were re-filling continuous prescriptions by phone or fax. This was especially beneficial to those who lived a far distance from their medical practitioner.

All one needed to do was call the pharmacy, let them know they were out of medication, and the pharmacy would fax the doctor to approve the re-fill, and the medication would be available for pick-up or delivery. This is now not the case…

The provincial government has decided that prescription re-fills are no longer covered by fax or phone calls, and an appointment must be made to obtain a new prescription the patient must take to the pharmacy to be filled.

This could be beneficial to those who have transitory health issues, but for those who have chronic conditions that don’t require close scrutiny, a major hardship.

In some cases, doctors are unwilling to perform full physical exams, in the name of cutting patient wait times and costs to the medical healthcare system.

Join Victor to talk about whether this is a positive step forward, or just a money grab for today’s doctors who are being forced to work under more difficult positions of time restraints and cost cutting methods.

Victor came to know Dar on a Guidedog e-mail list he helps manage, and the rest is history.

Victor recognized Dar for the capable woman she is, and wanted to interview her to find out how she manages to handle her guidedog and life expertly, though she learned as everyone does, she eventually figured out how to do things that were right for her.

Settling in Montana, she attends church, and feels she is perfectly happy with her life, and although she has desires to move back to Indiana, she will get there when she gets there.

Join Victor on Meet Me, on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway, every Monday, at 10:00 am Eastern, 7:00 am Pacific, and listen to every day people, living their every day life with blindness.

Victor is always looking for people to interview. His goal is to show the world that blindness and disabilities are not life ending, they are life altering, however, they can be more of an inconvenience, than anything else. If you would like to tell your story of living with a disability, you can contact Victor at:

A crying baby, getting ready for dinner parties, when your meal is ruined, and when someone is late for an appointment and more.
