Show Notes
Is Super Hit Mix Radio haunted? Donald kicks things off with a tale of "possessed" broadcasting equipment where "Music Mayhem" took on a mind of its own, refusing to play tracks and skipping around like a ghost in the machine. Meanwhile, JC drops a major travel announcement: he’s heading to Puerto Rico for a milestone family birthday and plans to take the podcast on the road!The highlight of the episode is a deep-dive live demo of PiccyBot, an impressive AI app that is taking the blindness community by storm. Listen in as JC tests the app's ability to provide rich, detailed audio descriptions of videos—including a breakdown of a "fashionable chic" Hillsong United performance—and discusses the upcoming integration with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.Plus, the crew clears up the "Stacy vs. Rachel" identity confusion, Salvis battles the Latvian snow while building image-to-text websites, Nora gives an update on her cataract surgery, and Preston reviews Taco Bell’s "Cinnamon Bondelights" (which apparently look like basketballs). Whether you're into cutting-edge accessibility tech, radio bloopers, or just want to know why Salvis is worried about a lawsuit from Disney over a Gummi Bear melody, this episode has it all!
