Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan mosen

In honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we have invited Jonathan Mosen, our executive director for accessibility excellence and Brittany Savage, an instructor at our Colorado Center for the Blind. They discuss the latest technology, efficient ways to use technology, and emphasize the importance of being tech-savvy with low tech skills.

"I now find advocacy really rewarding, and I realize that it's a long game, and sometimes advocacy's going to feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall, but every so often, the wall moves just a little bit. So, there is hope, and it can get better, and that's why I do believe, very strongly, in the work that the NFB does. Because it has turned many lives around, including mine." Join us as we talk with Jonathan Mosen from NFB.

Jonathan's series on the Essential recorders from Zoom, which have accessibility features, concludes on this Living Blindfully extra with the look at the Zoom H1Essential. This is the smallest member of the family and sells for just $99 USD. It can fit in any pocket, and offers high-quality 32-bit float recording. While understandably the recorder lacks some of the features of its larger siblings, it also boasts some features unique to this member of the family. Here are the topics covered in this episode, and the time in the file for each.

Continuing his extensive look at the accessible Zoom Essential family, Jonathan demonstrates and reviews the Zoom H4Essential in this Living Blindfully Extra. With its compact size, powerful features and priced at just $199 USD, the H4Essential may be the Goldilocks recorder for many. While this review stands alone and therefore revisits many of the features found in the H6Essential, Jonathan expands further on the powerful mixer functionality and some other features. Here are the topics covered in this episode, and the time in the file for each.

In this Living Blindfully extra, Jonathan Mosen begins his reviews of all three recorders in the Essential series, with the Zoom H6Essential Zoom has provided these units so the reviews can be produced, but have not heard these reviews before publication, nor influence what they contain. There is considerable interest from the blind community in the Zoom Essential series, due to the accessibility features available in this professional class of equipment. The h6Essential is the most capable member of the series, providing six tracks of recording, interchangeable microphone capsules, 32 bit float, a playback mixer, audio interface capability and more.

Talking Tech show notes for March 19 2024 Product minute: Manual Braille Labeller.   Nice to have around to simply label stuff in Braille.   https://shop.visionaustralia.org/reizen-rl-350-braille-labeller.html   My Concerns of Using Hable One with Android   Some of the Hable One commands simply do not  work on my Samsung Z Flip 3. Folks on the web have said it does work, and it doesn't work on their Android devices, so I think it is one of those Android things where openness leads to issues. I would suggest folks try the Hable One on your own Android device before purchase. However, works fine on my iPhone, and you'll find a demo of it on my podcast feed.   https://davidwoodbr.podbean.com/e/hable-one-description-pairing-and-basic-navigation-on-iphone-with-voiceover/   My and Stephen's Thoughts of using the Zoom H1 Essential Recorder    Overall we decided great device. However, just because it's “accessible” doesn't mean you don't have to learn how to use the device to get the most out of it. Check out the excellent tutorial done by Jonathan Mosen on they Living Blindfully podcast for the Zoom H1 Essential Recorder.   Only 3 Years, And My AirPods Max Has Died   Considering how expensive they were, and only purchased in Dec 2020.

The start of the school year can be an expensive time, not just for uniforms and stationery, but for devices too. And if you are the parent of a child with disabilities the costs are amplified. Workbridge Chief Executive and Assistive Technology consultant Jonathan Mosen says there's a complexity of choice for aids to help pupils with visual and hearing impairment - and with that can come high price tags.

Apple's marathon WWDC keynote included new Macs, updates to all of Apple's operating systems, and the much-anticipated mixed reality headset which Apple is calling Vision Pro. In this episode recorded immediately after the keynote, Judy Dixon, Heidi Taylor and Mike Feir join Jonathan Mosen to discuss the meaning of it all from a blindness perspective.

We are going to explore a question that may seem beyond the scope of our program. Over the past few months we have spent quite a lot of time discussing chat bots. Recently we have seen lots of evidence that they can get things amazingly wrong in terms of information. Our friend Jonathan Mosen reported that he and his partner Bonnie were described as having been married for the past thirty years. This is certainly not true but it highlights that there is another element of our lives where misinformation can happen, whether intentionally or not. At the same time, there are news stories that indicate that actors from China and Russia have flooded our mass media with disinformation about the arraignment of Donald Trump aimed at deepening the division within the United States. Obviously, in general, it is very difficult to know what is true and what is not. What can we do to make it less likely that we will spread information that isn't true? How do we know that what we read and hear and see is true? Do we on Tuesday Topics have responsibilities? What are they? It is a little frightening to suggest that that the field of blindness and visual impairment is rife with misinformation. But why should that topic be off limits? ACB and NFB have their own versions of truth! Agencies may want to emphasize elements that do not paint as clear a picture of the services they provide that they might! How do we explore what is true in the blindness field? All of us want to find ways to make our point of view seem stronger! We are not purposely propagating disinformation but we are certainly selectively choosing the facts and arguments that bolster our notions of what is right and good. Does ACB have propaganda? What's it like? How about other organizations? What might their predilections in terms of information look like? We hope that many listeners will want to help us explore how we protect the truth and learn to think critically! Chat Bots, bad actors and propaganda are the subject of our next Tuesday Topics!

April 2022 - broadcast on over 20 Internet radio stations - 11.5 hours - over USD$100,000 raised A few months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Jonathan Mosen hosted “We're with U, ” an online benefit concert featuring blind performers on his Internet station: Mushroom FM to help blind people in the war-torn country. Radio. Advocacy. Assistive tech. Jonathan Mosen has worked in all three areas in his career and this week on Outlook we speak with Jonathan about it all, though we could have done an entire episode for any one of these three things. Mosen tells us about Norrie disease, the condition he's always lived with which had him living blind since birth and experiencing increased deafness over time. He talks about his pride in his disability, answering how he personally would react if he could see tomorrow vs get his hearing back, a different answer for each one of us. Broadcaster and podcaster extraordinaire, Jonathan hosts “Mosen At Large” with his knowledge from working at such assistive technology companies as HumanWare and Freedom Scientific, along with his lifetime in radio which began as a young child and young person at the school for the blind in New Zealand. He shares with us about the work he's done bringing attention to the trauma he worked through from abuses at the school for the blind, tells us more about how Mushroom FM was started and how it's grown, and about his love of iconic rock group The Beatles. For an even deeper dive into Jonathan's life and his body of work, check out “In The Arena, the Jonathan Mosen Story” (a 9-part audio documentary), along with his podcast and an article he references on the show with us which he wrote about being blind and the pride he has in that by visiting his website here: https://mosen.org
