Curious how music, technology, and accessibility can blend together? Lis joins Rob and Ryan this week as they welcome special guest Marshall Walters, the brains (and ears!) behind SonifEye, an innovative app that lets you actually hear the colors around you. It’s a conversation about the concept of sensory substitution and its accessibility implications along with enough jokes about wardrobe choices to fill a laundry basket. Whether you’re into tech, accessibility, or just love a fun conversation, this episode hits all the right notes!

This week Lis, Rob, and Ryan welcome Brett "The Blind Kid" Devloo to the show, a skateboarder who navigates life with raw authenticity and zero apologies. When vision loss hit at 16, Brett didn't just adapt - he redefined what's possible on a skateboard. Join us as we peel back the layers of Brett's experience, exploring how he transformed a challenging diagnosis into a dynamic personal brand and skateboarding career. From small-town Manitoba to the West Coast skate scene, Brett shares candid stories about community, adaptation, and staying true to himself. Hear about his upcoming documentary, "Blind Corners", which captures the real, unvarnished moments of his skateboarding journey - including a memorable femur-breaking incident that became part of his story. Expect genuine laughs, unexpected insights, and a conversation that “stays on the board”.
