From his trusty cane days, to teaming up with his guide dog Vader (yes, like that Vader), Greg shares how each tool shaped his independence, freedom, and even the way strangers interact with him.But Greg doesn't stop there. He also introduces us to the Glide, a cutting edge mobility device blending AI smarts, cameras, and obstacle detection into one sleek package. Could it be the future of navigation for blind travelers who want something beyond a dog or cane? You'll hear Greg break it down in a way that's funny, relatable, and packed with real life perspective.Along the way, Angie and Greg swap stories about public misconceptions, first impressions, and the responsibility of being the “first blind person” someone meets. Kimberly keeps the conversation flowing with sharp questions, making sure no stone is left unturned.It's an episode that's equal parts practical advice, personal storytelling, and a peek into the future of accessibility tech. Whether you're team cane, team dog, or curious about what's next, you'll come away seeing mobility through a whole new lens.
From surfing waves to stomping festival stages, Ash Grunwald has spent more than two decades turning gritty blues riffs into anthems that get crowds moving. He's jammed with legends like Xavier Rudd, The Cat Empire, Jack Johnson and The Black Keys, but it's his raw, organic live shows — just him, his guitar, that fire in the stompbox, and the crowd as his band — that have made him one of Australia's most loved performers. In this chat with Matty J, Ash shares the stories behind his latest single Glide, how a Sydney studio mix-up turned into one of his most inspired recordings, and why he still changes songs up mid-set just to chase a new groove. He opens up about life on the road, swapping snowboarding in Queenstown with his daughters for the Kimberley heat, and why quitting alcohol nearly a decade ago left him sharper, happier, and more connected with his audience than ever. Full of laughs, honesty, and the same infectious energy he'll be bringing to Broome, this interview is the perfect warm-up for Untamed Uncut. Ash joins the party Friday night at The Roey, alongside good mates the Pierce Brothers and Broome legend Stephen Pigram, to launch a weekend of music, community, and pure festival joy.

Trevor questions the Envision Ally Solos strategy, calling for more affordable and standalone options for AI-powered glasses. Charles sparks a thoughtful discussion on the lack of immersive, accessible video games for blind players, highlighting the gap between mainstream hype and practical usability. And finally, Jim vents about sighted people's assumptions when offering “help”—reminding us that awareness and independence go hand in hand.Relevant LinksGlide: https://www.glidance.ioEnvision Glasses: https://www.letsenvision.comMeta Ray‑Ban: https://www.meta.com/ca/ai-glasses/Can I Play That: https://www.caniplaythat.com Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

For someone who is blind or visually impaired, how do you get the result of a pregnancy test? Often, a blind or visually impaired person isn't the first to know about their own test result. This is because traditionally, pregnancy tests, as well as many other health-related checks, have been inaccessible. On this episode, we speak with Leah Shanahan about AMY, a pregnancy test that she has designed for those who are blind or visually impaired. We also catch up with Adela Buliman from Vially on the topic.We have voice notes on Glide as well as a unique use case for meta glasses, and in tech news, we've got info on Zippay, gaming, and this evening's Apple event.Join the conversation with a WhatsApp voice note.

We're back after our summer break, and as we woke up to the sound of Autumn arriving, (it's lashing rain here!) we were discouraged to hear that the new Glide is not coming to Europe! What!?! As the characters on South Park might say "You Ba***rds! You killed Kenny!" But are we really surprised to hear this news? The Blind Guys discuss. Guess who's just pre-ordered a new pair of Envision Ally Solos Glasses even though he already has a pair of the original ones? Yes, it's the Stephen Scott of Blind Guys Chat; Mohammed. So why has he decided to throw his €3,500 Envision smart glasses out with the rubbish and pay out for a new pair? And will it help him get lucky with the women? Speaking of meeting up with women, Mohammed also tells us of his trials and tribulations when he recently travelled to Berlin on his very own, with nobody to mind him. BGC understands that the German police are advising people to be on the lookout for a blind man accosting tourists and locals, and demanding they bring him around museums. They are also looking for a blind man seen running around parks seeking a running partner, waving his cane wildly. Wonder who that could be? So, pick up those fallen leaves from the front doorstep, make yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate, and settle in for the number one podcast this side of a ham sandwich: Blind Guys Chat! 8 out of 10 museums prefer it to storing old stuff!

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine are back together to talk about little tech along with a tad of A.I. Because why wouldn't they? We kick the show off discussing the recent story of a florida man being captured on his Ring Doorbell being attacked by a bear. Yes, a bear in freaking Florida, man. We then get our first A.I. story of the show as Taco Bell has said No Mas to A.I. Drive Through Windows. TSA has banned some new items from being carried on to a plane, but what is more impressive is some of the items you can take on a plane with you. We then discuss the Ally Solos Glasses which were recently announced. We then discuss the fascinating story about where do Waymos go when they are not driving passengers? They have to go somewhere. Next we discuss the news about Glide not coming to Europe any time soon. Are A.I. Agents still closer to science fiction than reality? Which leads us in to complaining about stupid articles behind the paywall and then how to get around it. Blind people get ready to rejoice as Meta is moving ahead with Facial Recognition on their next pairs of Meta Glasses. And on a related note, Meta has released six new pairs of the Meta Oakleys, well actually only six new colors for the lenses and frames. We then discuss the fun article How to Win friends and Influence ChatBots. And on a terrifying note, A.I. ransomWare has arrived. We then discuss the recent announcement between the beta partnership between Be My Eyes and Amtrak. Amtrak has also finally rolled out their new Acela trains, but don't expect them to get you to your location any faster! Apple TV Plus has hiked its price to $13 a month. Is it time to start dialing back all those streaming services? We then talk about the all new redesign that came to the new ESPN app, but same old same old Worldwide Leader in Inaccessibility at ESPN. And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

What happens when four pilots discuss IFR ground school and nobody really knows what they're talking about? Episode 143 delivers a chaotic journey through aviation acronyms that'll make you question everything.Ben admits he's "a little nervous" before diving into MOCAs vs ROCAs. Brian, suffering through IFR ground school, says his brain "goes cross-eyed" with acronyms like "M-A-A-M-C-A-M-D-A-M-E-A." Ted drops wisdom about aviation's three knowledge levels: "pass the test, throw away that knowledge."The conversation careens from NDB approaches to Shepherd Air debates, with Wendell Geek explaining the gap between training IFR and actual IFR: "you spend most of your time trying to avoid that."Brian perfectly captures the episode: "This is gonna be the worst episode that we've ever done, because we have nobody that knows what they're talking about." He later calls it "a false glide slope" metaphorically.Join the gang for aviation education that's equal parts informative and terrifying, where approach plates are more confusing than figuring out who actually knows what they're talking about.Ben's wisdom: "It's not real IFR until the sweat soaks your checklist.""This has not been sponsored by the FAA."Mentioned on the show:Erica/Aerosafe IFR course: https://www.gilbertaviation.com/ifrMOCA, OROCA: https://www.flight-insight.com/post/mea-moca-oroca-ifr-altitudes-explainedForeflight expected routes: https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054089634-What-are-Expected-Routes-in-ForeFlightSheppard Air- test prep software: https://www.sheppardair.com/Garmin G5: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/570665/Garmin GI275: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/719027/CCO - Newnan-Coweta County Airport: https://www.coweta.ga.us/departments-services/departments-a-e/airportMidlife Pilot Podcast: https://midlifepilotpodcast.com/YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@MidlifePilotPodcastPatreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/MidlifePilotPodcastDiscord Community (join via website)Freedom Aviation Network: https://freedomaviationnetwork.org

Journey back to the summer of 1970 as we explore the legendary Isle of Wight Festival, where music lovers converged on a small island off England's southern coast for five days of extraordinary performances. What makes this festival particularly special is how well it was documented – allowing us to experience these historic performances through recordings and film footage decades later.From Chicago's early hits to The Who's powerful performance of "Tommy," the festival showcased artists at pivotal moments in their careers. Jim Morrison's haunting performance with The Doors stands as one of his final shows. Meanwhile, Miles Davis demonstrated how jazz could captivate rock audiences, and Jimi Hendrix delivered unforgettable performances just weeks before his death.We'll also transport you to the 1995 HORDE Festival in Atlanta, a touring concert series that helped bands like The Black Crowes and Blues Traveler reach larger audiences by combining their fan bases. Along the way, we explore summer hits that defined their eras – from KC and the Sunshine Band's disco anthem "Get Down Tonight" to The Kings' double-hit "This Beat Goes On/Switching to Glide." We'll also examine how The Cure's 1985 album "Head on the Door" marked their transition to mainstream success with its distinctive sound.These weren't just concerts – they were cultural touchstones that helped define musical movements and create the shared experiences that bind music fans together. Join us as we celebrate the festivals, songs, and albums that shaped rock history and continue to influence how we experience music today.“Music In My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldVisit our Facebook and Instagram pages and spread the word if you enjoy the podcast.

Picking up 5 or 10-pound weights at the gym doesn't seem like such a heavy lift, but most people only do it for a few minutes at a time. Try lifting those weights for an entire workday, 130 times a minute. The job of rehanging carcasses on shackles after going through the chiller is one of the most difficult stations on the line to keep staffed.That's why Georgia Tech Research Institute's Konrad Ahlin spent the last several years devising a solution that all but eliminates the stress and the potential for injury. In this episode of MeatingPod, Ahlin explains how his “rehang shackle device” works.

Max talks about common gotchas with RNAV GPS approaches, especially when using vectors to final (VTF). The conversation picks up where Episode 383 left off, with listeners asking how vectors to final (VTF) influences glidepath capture on WAAS approaches. He explains that under normal circumstances—flying the approach via own navigation from an initial approach fix (IAF)—the GPS glidepath doesn't turn magenta or allow autopilot coupling until the FAF becomes the active waypoint. The magenta color indicates that the GPS receiver has completed a signal quality evaluation, verifying that the WAAS signal is good enough for LPV minimums. Until this point, the glidepath indicator remains a hollow white diamond, and the autopilot will not descend. However, activating VTF triggers this signal check immediately, regardless of the aircraft's location. If the aircraft's track is within approximately 100–110° of the final approach course, the glidepath indicator turns magenta and autopilot coupling becomes possible—even miles from the airport. This can be risky if the aircraft is outside the protected segment of the published procedure, especially in mountainous terrain where blindly following the glidepath can be hazardous. Max notes that activating VTF early, particularly from a downwind leg, may display the “SUSP” annunciator. He urges pilots not to press the SUSP button in this scenario, as it can inadvertently sequence legs inappropriately or disable the approach altogether. The SUSP annunciator will clear automatically during the final base-to-final turn, provided it's within 45° of the final approach course. The episode then shifts to a common gotcha with ILS and RNAV approaches when being vectored in close. If a controller brings an aircraft in at an altitude that puts it above the glidepath—and the vertical deviation indicator centers before the lateral CDI centers—the autopilot will capture lateral guidance but not vertical guidance. Max describes this firsthand from a recent Vision Jet flight into Orange County, where his awareness helped avoid a missed capture. If the autopilot fails to capture the glidepath due to this timing issue, pilots must use vertical speed (VS) mode to manually descend and re-intercept it. Responding to listener Matt's question, Max discusses the use of VNAV (Vertical Navigation) mode as another way to descend to the glidepath for early coupling. He clarifies that while VNAV is a separate topic, it's related because it can assist with managing step-down altitudes more precisely. If VNAV is properly configured—usually in conjunction with the APPR key—it can manage the descent and transition into the glidepath at the FAF. However, Max warns of several pitfalls: pilots often forget to dial in a lower altitude, which prevents descent; older G1000 systems may ignore VNAV commands if the top of descent (TOD) is more than five minutes away; and using VNAV may not align with ATC altitude restrictions. He concludes that while VNAV has become more reliable due to Garmin software improvements, it introduces complexity and requires careful verification of ATC clearances and altitude settings.

Read transcriptJan is on hiatus this week, so it's a welcome return to Mr Stuart Lawler, a man who puts the “Hot” into Tango. It's 30 years since Stuart was on the Irish Eurovision Song Contest jury and boy are we happy they never asked him back. Secret Garden were the winners for Norway that year with a song that can only be described as: mostly violin! But what happened this year in Basel, Switzerland? Did Celine Dion turn up singing a medley of her hit? Did the Swedish businessmen get hot and sweaty in the sauna? Is Lithuania's guitar player just a U2 wanna-be? And did the UK get any votes at all? Let's find out as we join Kevin Sherwin live from his jacuzzi (he really just farts in the bath)! To find out how the Eurovision final went last Saturday, May 17th. Óran and Stuart are standing on their respective soapboxes as Sky TV don't seem to be doing a whole lot when it comes to providing AD services on Sky Stream or on their ‘On Demand' service. Is it time to throw Dave Nason under the bus (again) on this one!? (We love you Dave – a voice note would be very welcome - Clo) In TV corner, have you seen ‘Mad Men' with AD on Netflix? or Cassandra? or how about the new season of Black Mirror? Give us your views on the quality of the AD on these programmes, or on whatever you're watching, by emailing blindguyschat@gmail.com. At long last the Meta AI ‘look and describe' feature has come to Ireland! Woohoo!! Óran can't stop asking the glasses to describe his guide dog Larry. Apparently, he defecates on the grass. Larry that is, not Óran! Have you tried the look and tell feature? Let us know what you think: blindguyschat@gmail.com Stuart is heading off to Sight City in Frankfurt; are you going? Stuart talks to us about booking a sighted guide at the event, and the new remote assistance option for those attending. Finally, we have news on the Glide from Glidence. There will be a demo day at the Wayfinding Centre in Dublin on June 7, early booking is recommended, before Larry and his friends break it! So, strip off your sweat-drenched sauna suit; stop straddling that microphone - you could do yourself an injury; pour yourself a macchiato and settle in for a podcast full of enjoyment, with no jokes, sarcasm or any kind of wit at all! Yeah right!!!
Max tackles a common frustration among pilots: why RNAV (GPS) glide paths sometimes fail to couple with the autopilot. A recent Facebook post from a pilot flying a Cirrus SR22T triggered the discussion, as the poster encountered exactly this problem during an LPV approach, mistakenly attributing it to an expired database. Max explains that the real culprit was a fundamental misunderstanding of RNAV approach procedures. Unlike an ILS glide slope, which is a physical radio beam transmitted from ground equipment, an RNAV glide path is a computed construct generated by the aircraft's GPS navigator. It only becomes “real” for the autopilot to couple to when flown properly, following all step-down altitudes as published. A key indicator is the glide path diamond: it remains hollow and white until the aircraft crosses the fix before the Final Approach Fix (FAF), at which point it turns solid magenta, signaling that the autopilot can engage. Max emphasizes that this behavior contrasts with ILS approaches, where pilots sometimes get away with intercepting the glide slope from above. Doing so on RNAV approaches, however, won't work because the computed glide path isn't extended infinitely; it's activated only within a defined segment of the approach. To verify this, Max conducted simulator flights on multiple RNAV approaches. He discovered a consistent pattern: the glide path diamond always turned magenta while crossing the fix immediately before the FAF—not at a set distance before or after a particular waypoint. This nuance is crucial for ensuring autopilot capture and a stabilized approach. Drawing a parallel to AIM 5-4-5b, Max reinforces that both ILS and RNAV approaches are designed to be intercepted at specific altitudes. Deviating from these procedures risks automation surprises, or worse, capturing false glide slopes in the case of ILS. He recalls the Air India Express Flight 812 crash as a tragic example of why proper interception altitudes matter. The key takeaway is a simple formula for reliably flying RNAV approaches: descend to each step-down fix altitude, and ensure you're at the target altitude when crossing the fix before the FAF. When done correctly, the glide path diamond will turn magenta, allowing the autopilot to capture it and guide the descent. Max's detailed breakdown underscores why relying on social media for technical advice can be misleading. Instead, pilots should seek information from authoritative sources and understand the underlying principles behind automation behavior. By following published procedures and recognizing cues like the hollow versus solid glide path diamond, pilots can avoid surprises and maintain safe, stable approaches.

Max discusses engine-out scenarios and best glide strategies, prompted by listener feedback on Episode 372, which analyzed the crash of a Bonanza B35B (N2UZ) that suffered engine failure at 7,500 feet near Charlottesville, VA. Although the pilot did many things correctly, he overshot a long field and crashed. Max highlights choices that might have improved the outcome, such as flight following and alternate route planning. Listener emails, read by Aviation News Talk intern Kelly, offer insights and experiences. Karen Larson shares how a conversation about the episode helped her husband safely land a T6 with a failed engine. David Dismore and Nico Ghilardi emphasize the value of practicing power-off landings, especially from high altitudes. Daniel Switkin points out that glide range rings in EFB apps may not always be reliable, referencing an AOPA test. Carter Boswell inquires about glide differences between windmilling and stopped props. Max references Peter Garrison and Tom Turner for technical insight. Bozzie Boswell from Australia introduces the AvPlan EFB app, which offers planning features to keep routes within gliding range of airports. Max underscores the importance of preparation, practice, and situational awareness to improve survival chances during engine-out emergencies.

Ethan Thornton is the founder of MACH Industries, a next-generation defense technology and manufacturing company that's dedicated to redefining the future of modern combat through their hydrogen-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and drone defense systems. A 21-year-old MIT dropout, Ethan left higher learning in 2023 after receiving a Thiel Fellowship from tech startup investor Peter Thiel (as well as placing on Forbes 30 under 30 list) to pursue working at MACH full-time. Considered by some to be a modern tech savant who shares the stage with the likes of Elon Musk or Marvel's fictional billionaire Tony Stark, Ethan's goal is to create more cost-effective and efficient defense systems by replacing traditional munitions with hydrogen-powered alternatives. He's also attracted significant attention for his work at the Department of Defense, with his innovative approach to crafting weapons systems like Viper, Glide, and Stratus leading some to believe that MACH may very well be rewriting the rulebook when it comes to combat engagements and aerial warfare.

Max gives and update on the Learjet crash in Scottsdale and the crash of a Cirrus SR22 in Santa Barbara. He also analyzes the crash of N2UZ, a Bonanza B35B, which suffered an engine failure at 7,500 feet while flying over Virginia. The well-trained pilot attempted to glide to Charlottesville Airport (KCHO) but crashed in a wooded area just beyond a 3,000-foot-long field. ADS-B data shows that the aircraft's10.2:1 glide ratio was insufficient to reach the airport from its initial altitude. He discusses factors that could have altered the outcome, including diverting to Snow Hill, a private 2,200-foot grass strip within possible gliding range, or choosing a higher cruising altitude to increase the glide distance. The episode emphasizes the importance of proactive flight planning, including staying within glide range of an airport, using avionics tools like glide range rings, and making early decisions when faced with an emergency. Suggestions for improved safety include better route planning, considering altitude selection, and advocating for EFB applications to incorporate flight planning tools that maintain energy cones.
