This episode kicks off with a little bit of magic—literally—as we head to the “magic castle” for a fascinating conversation with a special guest from HumanWare. We’re joined by Mathieu Paquette to explore a device that’s been generating serious buzz: the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Are these glasses just a flashy gadget, or do they offer real value for people with low or no vision? We dig into what makes them stand out, share some real-world stories, and highlight some very cool features. Whether you’re tech-curious or already intrigued, there’s a lot here to spark your imagination. And don’t blink—there’s a special announcement tucked into this segment about some exciting upcoming audio from us!

Keeping the Bluetooth theme rolling, Kim takes the spotlight with a hands-on look at the Tribit Pocket Go speaker. Don’t let the size fool you—this little speaker packs a punch. You’ll get a full tour of the device, hear what makes it stand out, and of course, enjoy some audio samples so you can judge the sound quality for yourself. If you’re on the hunt for something portable without sacrificing performance, this might be your new favorite travel buddy. If you purchase from the above link, we may receive a small commission.

This episode is truly out of this world—and not just metaphorically.

We kick things off by diving into the excitement surrounding the recent Artemis II mission, NASA’s bold step toward returning humans to the Moon. We share our personal experiences following the mission, how we stayed connected to the action, and what it sparked in our imaginations. Along the way, we explore the question: what would it be like to be blind in space?
