| 10/11/26 | Episode 215 - That Real Blind Tech show Declares War on Norway | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with Brian, David, Ed, and kind of Jenine. You will see what we mean. Once we get past the exploding hamster, we ask why you have not gotten the That Real Blind Tech show iOS app yet? Grab it here. Brian then asks the age old question What the F#ck is White Cane Celebration Day? Only in California would we need a law to shut down man versus robot cage matches. Jeanine then fills us in on what is going on with Aira and the latest Meta glasses update, and instructs everyone to turn off automatic updates on the Meta Frames. Envision came out with a letter to the community, and now sleeps with the fishes. Privacy wonking has now gone International as Norway wants to ban all Smart Glasses. After Brian's War on Norway ends, Ed tells us about the Blind Baseball tourney he just took part in in Italy. If you are in NYC, we got two upcoming events. On Wednesday, October 14th at Hendrickson's on 1122 First Avenue we are having a Tito's sponsored Laugh For sight promo night, and then Laugh For Sight on October 26th back at Gotham Comedy Club for our 19th year. For tickets to LFS click here. We then dive back in to discussing our thoughts of iOS 27, and is it the worse ever update to iOS for VoiceOver users? Apple will be holding an event on October 13th called Welcome Home. They are expected to announce the Home Hub, and other home related devices. There will then be a second Apple event on October 27th where Apple is expected to introduce the first Touch Screen Mac Book Pro and other Macs. Immediately after the latest Prime Day ended, Amazon announced the complete replacement of their Fire tablets, with three new A Lady Plus tablets coming to the market.

| 9/28/26 | Episode 214 - Finger on the GAI Charm | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine gather around the campfire to discuss the latest tech news and usual nonsense. But before you listen go and get the That Real Blind Tech show iOS app. What are you waiting for? Grab it here. After disclosing way to much personal information about someone, we kick the show off discussing the return of the Brooklyn Sewer Men, and of course Brian has a very interesting conspiracy people about all of it. And we are only five weeks out from the 19th annual Laugh For Sight at Gotham Comedy club go get your tickets here. Google is getting ready to send an A.I. not a Super Intelligence satellite up in to space next week. We ask what could go wrong? Then we're talking baseball, and Dummy Hoy, Baseball's first deaf pioneer and the push to get Mr. Hoy in to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We then dive in to our thoughts and review of iOS 27 and the issues that some of us have been having with the new operating system. Brian starts with an awful review of his experiences with the new Siri. Jeanine then dives in to her experiences with iOS 27. Brian then brings up the massive security issue in iOS 27, the entering of your password with VoiceOver and being told the wrong number of characters entered. Next up Brian discusses the disaster that Downcast has become in iOS 27. And then there's the Notification Center, yuck. Jeanine then gives us her thoughts of Mac OS golden Gate. The long rumored Apple Home Pod is rumored to be arriving next month. Would you want Siri runninng your household? The article title says CahtGPT's Voice mode is getting some big upgrades, yet we couldn't find anything big about this at all. The Colonel, Bernie Sanders is proposing the elimination of the development of all Super Intelligence and jail time for people who do develop it. And yes, we hate the usage of Super Intelligence. Remember the Rabbit R1? We do, well now you no longer need the defunct device to run their software. Meta launched Muse their new A.I. about a month ago, it caught some of us by surprise, we're hearing it's not bad, and that it is currently the most downloaded app in the App Store. Allison then fills us in on what she has been using Muse for and how it has worked. Brian then dives in with a disappointing new UI design of Claude. Muse did not get off to a banging start on the Mac as it launched with a one click vulnerability. Is that bad? At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg ignored all the idiot Privacy Wonkers out there, made us happy. Meta announced the new Meta Ray Ban Perv Gen 3 starting at $249. Meta then announced a pair of cameraless Ray Bans, and on behalf of That Real Blind Tech show, if you know a blind person that buys these, please slap them on our behalf. Meta then closed with the announcement of the Meta A.I. Charm, and since these devices will be able to communicate with other Charms, and will have cameras, Privacy Wonkers must be spiraling even more. And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

| 9/10/26 | Episode 213 - Apple Event, Fully Erect, Physically and Metaphorically | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jenine are together to discuss the Apple Surprise and Shine Event. Mot of this show is Applecentric, however, we kick things off with Clauding. If you haven't gone and got the That Real Blind Tech show iOS App yet, what are you waiting for? You can grab it here. Additionally, if you are a movie fan, the That Real Movie Quiz is now up and in the App Store with over 22,500 questions, and of course fully accessible. You can purchase it for $3.99 because Blind Tech podcasters got to eat to. You can grab it here. We then discuss two more Quiz games Brian has in development That Real President's Quiz and That Real American History Quiz. Next Brian discusses what has slowed the development of the quiz and Poker games, as he is working on becoming a Country Rock God. The name of the song is I Can See Just Fine in 1999, and you can hear the song at the end of this episode. Brian then dives in to a bit of his workflow process with making the future international hit I Can See Just Fine in 1999, and of course the Accessibility barriers he encountered and how he got around them. Then Brian discusses his spiral in to writing, producing, and directing a music video for I Can See Just Fine in 1999, as someone whispered to him that sighted people want video to their music. Who knew? Allison then gives us updates on her work with the Virtual Machine and new accessible Terminal she has designed. We then get in to the Apple Surprise and Shine Event. We discuss how great it is that Apple seems to be the only tech company that audio describes their keynotes and events. Discuss the video intro, the release date for the new iOS September 14th, and Allison and Jeanine's experiences running the iOS Beta. Jeanine mentions that image description in the new OS could be a game changer. We discuss the new Siri and Siri app that will be in beta at first. Additionally there will be daily use caps and potentially costs coming down the road. Allison and Jenine claim they have noticed a much improved dictation experience on the beta. We briefly go scientific discussing the new effective thermal management coming to the new phones along with the Vapor Chamber, but will VoiceOver still tell you every second of a phone call when the phone is touching your face? We discuss the specs, prices, and availability of the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. We discuss the camera, well because Apple did. Anyone else count how many times they said the word Aperture? iPhone Hand off, while limited to specific carriers, this feature sounds very cool. Next Apple discussed the new Air Pod 5's. So while we are Air Pod Pro people we still discuss them anyway. We are getting two new Apple Watches the Watch 12 and Ultra 4. We discuss the new health features coming to the watch, sleep scores, conversation recap features, daily body score and tracking health and recovery from injuries. And then finally we discuss the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone. We are not sure this is a device for totally blind people, and I you do not have Muppett Hands then you will definitely want to get your hands on the device probably before committing to it. And we are really annoyed that TouchId is secure enough to be on the Duo but not other Apple Devices. Talk about Speaking out of both sides of your mouth Apple. We Blind Feud a great question about the iPhone Duo, and here is proof people were actually asking it. And developers will first have to design their apps to specifically fit the unique Duo screen.

| 8/23/26 | Episode 212 - Two Cox and A Johnson, A History of Privacy Wonking | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with Brian, David, Ed and Jenine now spelled correctly for the first time ever. Listen to the show to know why. We don't ask the listeners for much here at TRBTS, but we are asking you to download, rate and review our app in the App Store, you can check it all out here. Why's it always the penis? A new report links long time use of Cialis to blindness, of course it does. Next Brian dives in to a research study he recently conducted with some very fascinating outcomes and discoveries. Not a lot of tech news going on, but we did learn from a leak that Apple will be launching Air Pods with cameras in 2027. And 9 to 5 Mac already claims Apple Camera Pods will make Meta Frames look reckless. Thanks to a leak in the Mac latest software update, we got a sneak peak of Apple's upcoming product line. We discuss which rumored products excite us. We discuss that Apple has changed the way the App Store will work in the EU, but we could care less about the EU and are discussing this topic for another reason. Will you trust ChatGPT's Mac app to access your iMessages? Brian then discusses his latest project building work while Clauding, which then leads to us discussing the dumbass decision by anthropic to add watermarks to Claude projects. On a related note it took Coders a whole four hours to create a hack to get rid of the watermarking, hopefully us blind creatives can use it. With all the mass hysteria to the Meta Frames basically all media created, Brian did a deep dive in to other technologies that supposedly caused mass hysteria in years past. We start off reviewing the panic that arose way back in 2003 and 2004 over the arrival of cameras on phones. And back in the first days when cameras came to phones, a Congressman from the silly state of Ohio drew up Legislation to ban all phones on government properties including National Parks! Then of course there is the forgotten War on the walkman. Brian then dives in to the Top 8 technologies and other things throughout history that terrified people when they were first created or introduced to society. Included in the Top 8 are the arrival of the Eiffel Tower, another one includes the Fonograph would ruin vocal cords, and the number one by a large margin fear mongering is how the Teddy Bear will lead to the end of the human race. Yes, you can't make this shit up! And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

| 8/9/26 | Episode 211 - Bad app Store connect, Bad app Store connect | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show with the old school gang of Allison, Brian, Ed, and Jeanine. Since most of you come to That Real Blind Tech Show for your scientific news, we kick the show off discussing the most interesting and strangest theory on how life on this place called Earth began. Boy the Japanese sure can innovate as they are now selling human refrigerators because it is so damn hot everywhere. If there's an app for it, then it must mean the paranoia is real, introducing the Anti-Zuck Bluetooth sniffer app. Some how the old Sham wow infomercial comes up, and if you are like us and wondering what ever happened to the Sham wow Guy watch this YouTube clip about him. Do we now need a Tick Tock for Dummies, or is that just called Tick Tock? Tick Tock videos are advising people to put their phones in the fridge when they heat up. Would you take $50 bucks to let an A.I. start up read your mind to train their A.I.? Jeanine then gives us her recap of this year's ACB Conference. Then A special quick version of the Blind Feud pops in, asking what is Arizona State the first University in the country to now be offering a major in? It's then on to Clauding where Brian gets some feedback on his new favorite jingle on the show, and then discusses his experiences with the submission of the That Real Blind Tech show app and App Store Connect. It has not been a good experience. Allison then discusses the excitement behind launching her first project in to GitHub the Accessible Virtual Machine. She discusses the work behind it, the feedback, and the feeling of empowerment upon launching it all. Sorry for no link to the project as the link Allison provided us did not work, so reach out to her if you want to get it. Brian then discusses rebuilding his personal website from the ground up. His website had not been updated in 12 years, and he previously had to pay people to update his website for him, you can check out the new site here. Jeanine then lets us know what she has been up to with Clauding. And even though Brian claimed he was not going to build until he got past the App Store Connect nightmarish process, he lied to you and himself, as he introduces the latest project he is working on, and of course, he built a little jingle for it as well. OpenAI announced they will be coming out with a ChatGPT speaker. Which then leads us to discussing what Smart Speakers we are still using. And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading. | 1h 46m 20s | ||||||
| 7/26/26 | Episode 210 - Vomitous Interruptous | It's an all new that Real Blind Tech show with Allison, Brian, and David discussing the latest news in tech that is important to the blind and low vision. We kick this episode off with a series of announcements. The biggest being the all new That Real Blind Tech Show iOS app, which as of this release is still awaiting approval from Apple to be released. So much for that 48 hour that Apple claims 90% of apps get approved in. It should be released any day in the next week. Brian discusses some of the fun he had when posting the app for approval to Apple's App Store Connect, while it is accessible the usability could be massively improved. Our next announcement is that Laugh For Sight will be returning for our 19th year at Gotham Comedy club on Monday, October 26, 26, NYC. This year we will be donating all proceeds to InTandem and the Seeing Eye. Stay tuned for many more announcements coming soon. And Football season is almost back so if you are interested in joining us in playing either Fantasy Football or the new College Fantasy Football, shoot us in an email at [email protected], spots are avail on a first come first serve basis, and spots are already limited. Brian then gets derailed talking about seeing Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden a few nights ago. If you hate Brian's Bon Jovi love, then skip ahead in the show to about 31 minutes which is where Allison discusses running the most current iOS beta. The Meta Glasses are getting more backlash from celebs we have never heard of or care about. We then enter the terrifying part of this episode as we discuss how a pilot answering one text message destroyed his life. This is similar to what Brian has been dealing with now for 7 months. You can now recover access to your Google account with a Selfie video. The way we have purchased iPhones is about to change, as Apple is moving to leasing iPhones, and if you miss a payment, Apple will be able to deactivate your phone, yeah, nothing could go wrong here! We then dive in to Clauding as Brian and Allison discuss the states of their latest projects, we ask David if he has taken the dive yet, and we discuss some of our frustrations with Claude Van Damme. This is a segment you will not want to miss as someone vomits in their mouth, and the show kind of temporarily goes off the rails but in a good way. Who knew that voice mode wasn't in the latest versions of Claude? Lawmakers are preparing a bill that will require all A.I. systems to have a built in kill switch.

| 12/9/25 | Episode 192 -Deck the Halls with Balls and Bodily Fluids, Holiday Shopping with No Vision and Even Less Dignity | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show with Brian, David, and Jeanine. We have a little fun and then dive in to the latest tech news. Brian starts things off discussing a fun experience we all have when walking the dog. Be My Eyes won Apple's App Store of the Year Award for Cultural Impact, and on a bigger note there is a spotlight on Brian in the Be My Eyes monthly newsletter. We then get in to the serious news of the episode as we discuss why it is important to take a Fart Walk after a big holiday dinner meal. Nothing says comedy more than Elon Musk and Grok, as Elon thinks Grok is hilarious for roasting your co-workers. Looks like we can finally kiss the Metaverse goodbye. Do people hate you because you have a wonky internet connection? Oxford's word of the year is RageBait, and yes, it is one word. We then dive in to our least favorite conversation topics at the Holiday dinner table. Brian then discusses his disasterous trip back to NYC. Will the airports ever get a clue? Are ads going to ruin ChatGPT? Will generative A.I. be smarter then a Noble Prize winner or your average bear? Will the Anthropic 9 save the world? If you are a bad person and have friends who use Android devices, the good news is you can now Air Drop things to them. Amazon is now using A.I. to create season recaps in Prime Video, but will they have audio description? In celebrating 40 years of Accessibility, Apple has released a case with a Kung Fu grip, ok, not really a Kung fu Grip, but a grip for people with hand issues. We then dive in to our annual Black Friday shopping extravaganza, but do to us running long on our last episode, we skipped it, only to run even longer this episode, so no worries since we blew past Black Friday, we are assuming some of you may still have some shopping to do. We discuss our favorite places to shop. We discuss our Holiday shopping experiences, what we still want for the holidays, and what we have bought so far.

| 11/23/25 | Episode 191 - A.I. Has Killed Santa, But Don't Tell All the Blind Eleven Year Old Readers | It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show with once again just the guys, so if you are looking to join us as a regular podcast host since the ladies have turned in to giant flakes, email us in at [email protected], as we may have an opening soon! Yeah, yeah, the ladies claim to be busy with work and life. We kick the show off with an advertising disclaimer about possibly looking for a new CoHost. After our house cleaning we start the show discussing a recent article in the NY Post, asking what is A.I. ruining for children worldwide? Brian turns the question in to our second version of the Blind Feud. A common theme on this episode is stupidity, so we move on to discussing why I.Q. levels are dropping for the first time in decades. Which then leads us in to the dumbest thing we heard this week, Elon Musk's comments that money will cease to exist and work will be optional in the future. And continuing on our stupid theme, the internet now claims that Diet Coke is the Millennials cigarette. Europe wants to cut down on those pain in the ass cookie pop ups we have been getting for the past few years, but hey isn't Europe also the continent that created this whole issue? The NFB has partnered with Eleven Labs, and this conversation goes a tad bit off the rails. Vispero is starting to make use of User Accounts. Be My eyes is a finalist in the Apple App Store Awards. Brian and Ed then recap their epic experience down in Austin, Texas at the Blind Travel Summit. David then tells us about the NFB Pennsylvania Summit.
