  • From Sight Village to Holiday Tech, Cool Canes and Car-Finding Apps - AP153
    Dec 11 2025

    In this holiday edition of Audio Pizza, Kayaker, Sean and Garth dive into what Sean saw at Sight Village London. They chat through new low-vision and blindness tech including the Angel Eye document reader, Luna night-vision glasses for RP, and HumanWare's upcoming BrailleNote Evolve Windows notetaker. Sean also gets hands-on with the ultra-light Svárovský cane, and shares updated impressions of the Glide autonomous mobility device. To top it off, Kayaker unveils an MIT-built "Uber car finder" iPhone app, available via TestFlight, that helps blind users locate the right vehicle in busy pickup areas.

  • The AudioPizza 2025 Gift Guide that No One Asked For
    Nov 16 2025

    Audio Pizza's annual holiday gift guide is back, with Sean, Garth and Kayaker trading banter, bad weather reports and actually decent present ideas. They compare Meta smart glasses with newer AI-first options, talk through why Apple's AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch remain go-to tech gifts, and get surprisingly passionate about good iPhone cases, light-up white canes, and properly sharp kitchen knives. Garth throws in tactile Hanayama puzzles and UV-printed tactile photos as great options for blind and low-vision friends, and the trio round things out with a defence of gift cards, a detour into accessible jigsaws, and a spirited argument about cutting up food and eating with your hands.

  • Thin Is In, just ask My iPhone - AP151
    Oct 11 2025
    This month, the globe spins faster than Sean's excuses for not reading the manual as the Audio Pizza crew—Kayaker, Garth, and Shaun—check in from around the world with special guest Brett Halle and a surprise cameo from Jordie, freshly armed with a shiny new iPhone 17 Pro. The gang dives deep into Apple's latest event—iPhones, Watches, AirPods, and a healthy sprinkle of sarcasm. • Shaun: Still refusing to upgrade because "thinness is overrated." • Garth: Tempted by the Air, but only if it gets a second speaker. • Brett: Drops insider-level knowledge bombs about RAM, LiDAR, and AI headroom. • Jordie: Loves her 17 Pro, mainly because it can describe her baby's outfit on command. Expect passionate debates about whether LiDAR is life-changing or just expensive potential, why every blind person's favourite phrase is "depends how you use it," and how battery life is the new religion. Shaun leads the charge on the Meta event, which somehow excited him more than Apple's. The crew covers: • New Meta Ray-Bans and Oakleys with better cameras and longer battery life. • The wild new neural wristband that reads muscle signals so you can air-type like a Jedi. • Seeing AI and Be My Eyes coming to the glasses—accessibility in your face. • And of course, Kayaker's existential crisis over whether using Meta violates his privacy vows. Last month's cliffhanger returns: Shaun still can't back up his iPhone. Cue a group intervention featuring Garth's step-by-step fix, Brett's "pay the 99 cents" wisdom, and a gentle reminder that losing your phone is worse than losing your morals to Meta. Got opinions?

  • Battersea Park - W08
    Sep 14 2025

    After a four-year hiatus, we're delighted to welcome you back to the Words Words Words podcast. Along with a couple of featured words from Douglas Adams' wonderful book "The meaning of Liff", this episode includes a listener-contributed word, Battersea Park. Thanks Sally for sending it through. If you have any ideas to contribute, please get in touch.

    Battersea Park (verb) - The act of assaulting a poorly parked car, by a blind person with their white cane. Whilst neither recommended nor encouraged, this can relieve ones frustration when suddenly coming across a car which has been left casually across a path, or somewhere else it should not have been.

  • Safety Glasses - AP150
    Sep 4 2025

    In this episode of Audio Pizza, Shaun, Garth, and Kayaker try on the future—AI-powered smart glasses that promise to help us blind folk find our way without walking into quite so many lamp posts.
    After that, they swap specs for security, digging into the iOS settings that can keep your iPhone safer than a squirrel guarding its last nut.
    And remember: if you must steal an iPhone… Shaun's is apparently the one to go for.

  • Fun and Games - AP149
    Aug 13 2025

    Fun and games? Not exactly. In this edition of Audio Pizza, Shaun, Garth, and Kayaker try to talk about what they do for fun and games… only to reveal they're not all that fun and don't actually play that many games. But what they lack in actual gameplay, they make up for with quick banter, questionable opinions, and spirited chats about entertainment, video games, blind sports, and the occasional board game.

    Best of all, you'll not want to miss the intro spoof, ok you might want to miss it, but give it a listen anyway.
