Originally released on the 27th of May 2015!!! (The original episode contained) In episode 20 of the podcast we catch up with what each other has been watching and/or listening to since last we recorded. Liam tells of his experiences in America. Next we look at the connections between some of the lost classic Doctor Who serials and a landfill in a New Mexico desert (audio segements came from ATARI: Game Over, a documentary made in 2014). I reference some facts that The Tin-Dog Podcast's host Michael, has made in some of his past podcasts (I don't know which one, but I'm sure they exist). Once we hit the news, Liam shares his frustration with Disney and their lack of consideration towards Star Wars fans for what they'll be doing with the continuity established in the book series once episode VII comes out in December. We discuss the news and future releases from Big Finish regarding Torchwood, Doom Coalistion, The Worlds of Big Finish (extreme crossover release) and it's potiential marketing sceme. When we get to the reviews we first finish discussing The Two Doctors classic story, focusing on audio only, but my explaining of what happened visually to add clarification to the story. Next we discuss the Big Finish releases: The Defectors - by Nick Briggs; Last of the Cybermen - by Alan Barnes; Death Match - by Matt Fitton; Suburban Hell - by Alan Barnes; The Well-Mannered War - by Gareth Roberts, adapted by John Dorney; Damaged Goods - by Russell T. Davies, adapted by Jonathan Morris. During the review of Damaged Goods we get into the a second discussion/debate on Doctor Who "Cannon" or what is and what is not cannon, and then back to Star Wars cannon and not cannon. I make a reference to @DoctorSquee's Gallifrey Stands Podcast interview with Paul Cornell. We finish up the show reviewing Jago & Litefoot sereis 9, Blake's 7 Truth and Lies, and Terrahawks Vol. 1, before a quick Game of Thrones discussion to end episode 20. Stay tuned for more Doctor Who goodness, including monthly Big Finish reviews, audio commentary, retro-reviews, the DWAP "Rassilon Seal of Approval" and beyond!

In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun are joined by long-time friend of the show, Tim Dixon, who shares his hands-on experience with the new Plod AI note device—a compact, AI-powered assistant built for blind users. Designed as a simplified smartphone alternative, the Plod can make and receive phone calls, record conversations, send notes to email, and provide AI summaries of meetings and recordings. But is it worth the £349 price tag? Tim breaks down what works, what needs improvement, and where the device fits in an already crowded market of assistive tech. From its intuitive, tactile interface and snappy performance, to its limitations with Bluetooth pairing and occasional crashes, this review dives deep into real-world usage. Steven and Shaun also discuss the broader implications of purpose-built assistive tech versus mainstream solutions. Can niche devices still compete, or are they fighting a losing battle against AI-powered smartphones and wearables? Whether you're curious about the Plod, want to simplify your tech setup, or are just wondering where assistive hardware is headed in the age of ChatGPT and Gemini, this episode offers honest insights and balanced commentary.Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.

In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun explore the expanding world of AI-powered vision across devices and platforms. Steven shares his first hands-on experience using Google Gemini's live vision feature on the Samsung Galaxy S25, using it to identify blinking lights and navigate the menu on an inaccessible VoIP phone—saving himself an Aira call in the process.They dive deep into what this technology can do (and what it can't), including its potential for identifying objects like mugs, clothing, CDs, and reading text on the fly. While Gemini impresses in some use cases, its limitations in real-time accuracy reveal that we're still a few steps away from fully trusting AI for independent navigation or complex spatial tasks.Listeners also weigh in. Aaron shares a glowing review of the Stellar Trek and its breadcrumb navigation, color detection, and tactile buttons—offering a hands-free experience separate from his smartphone. Steven reflects on past struggles with the device and confirms plans to revisit it with Humanware's help for a more in-depth review.Other topics include: The strengths and weaknesses of the Envision smart glasses vs. Echo Vision by Agiga Meta Smart Glasses glitches and fixes The growing reliability of AI voices and TTS tools for audio production The future of smart glasses hardware amid global supply issues A hilarious and practical debate on using fingers vs. liquid level indicators for pouring teaWith firsthand insights, practical listener advice, and thoughtful reflections on what accessible AI could mean for blind users, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded realism.Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.

His story echoes through time - straight to the life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua. But here's the real question: Why didn't his brothers recognize him?

Silence has never stopped evil - it only fuels it. We've seen it before. Nazi Germany. 9/11. Tehran, 1979. And now, once again, the world is looking away. As thousands are slaughtered in Syria, as anti-Semitism spreads like wildfire, and as Israel faces existential threats, the silence is deafening. In this episode, we unpack the ancient and modern battle against the Jewish people - and why the story of Esther, Mordecai, and Purim is more relevant than ever. The enemy's tactics haven't changed. Neither has the need for bold voices to rise up. Esther had a choice: speak up or stay silent. You have the same choice today. Key Takeaways Silence feeds evil. History shows that when the world stays quiet, the worst atrocities unfold. Israel is under attack - again. The enemies of the Jewish people are always calling for annihilation, and today is no different. The Book of Esther is about courage. God's name is hidden, but His hand is clear - just like today. Evil always overplays its hand. Haman thought he had won - until the tables turned. This is your Esther moment. Will you speak out, or will you look away?
