“Why My Picture Might Be Hanging at the Train Station” — that’s the title of the latest I Can’t See You podcast episode, and trust me, it’s well earned. 😅

I recap the 2025 NFB of Pennsylvania State Convention, where I served as chair — from Family Feud and fundraising wins to great hotel staff and awesome volunteers like my daughter Jane. Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip without some travel misadventures: confusing directions, pitch-black stations, and rideshare delays that tested every ounce of patience.

If you want a behind-the-scenes look at blind travel and big event planning, this one’s for you. Thanks for listening and supporting the show!

In this episode, I talk about the troubling misconceptions blind people still face—even from healthcare professionals. One nurse actually asked me how I get dressed. Not what I wear, but literally how I put on clothes. That moment led me to reflect on something even more troubling: blind parents in Pennsylvania losing custody of their children simply because they’re blind.

I also share lighter moments, from Ziggy’s broken Christmas pickle to crab feasts, travel, and convention prep. Join me inside Studio B for advocacy, stories, and some laughs along the way.

Absolutely — here's the updated version with the video link included:
