Stacey's Boat Breakdown, JC's Puerto Rico Recap & MP3 DJ Goes Tesla (Vision Cast 2026.07.29)

JC is BACK! Vision Cast returns to full strength with JC home from Puerto Rico, Stacey James live on the panel, and the biggest crew of the summer: Salvis, JC, Stacey, George, Preston, Donald, Nora, and a hello from Katie.Donald reveals his ChatGPT-coded broadcasting software MP3 DJ now runs Super Hit Mix Radio like a "self-driving station... a Tesla station." It watches the computer clock and switches between scheduled shows automatically with clean overlaps - George testifies the Music Mayhem to DJ Cool transition was seamless. It runs massive playlists on almost no memory. Donald also announces Super Hit Mix Radio and KSRN are officially sister stations, and as Stacey puts it: Vision Cast, RCL, KSRN, Super Hit Mix - "we're all partners, we work together, we're a team."In a pre-recorded drop, Stacey reports a frustrating VoiceOver accessibility bug in her broadcaster app - the Add Tracks button reads as dimmed for screen-reader users - forcing her to delay a few scheduled shows. But the wins are bigger: she upgraded to the Broadcast 3 package, turned on Auto DJ, and KSRN is now streaming music 24/7. Coming next: a KSRN Alexa skill, mobile apps for Apple and Google Play, and a submission to Audacy, one of the biggest hubs in radio.The story of the night: Salvis plays Stacey's audio diary from her weekend boating trip at Two Rivers Marina with her mom - first time out on the little lake boat. The engine roars, the water gets bouncy, Stacey debuts her own AI-generated country theme song mid-ride... and then the ignition sputters and dies. Electrical failure, a tow to the boat launch, and the immortal line: "I was fine until Mom said we had to swim to shore." Phone and headphones survived. The panel loses it.JC recaps Puerto Rico: roosters crowing at dawn, an Airbnb in Fajardo, fried cheese squares and calamari, meeting his cousin's first baby Maximo (aka Max), singing Happy Birthday with the family, and streaming their home church service on the Airbnb's smart TV. The tech star of the trip: JC used his Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to live-translate his Spanish-speaking family into English in real time. Plus a practical accessibility find: his new Miracase iPhone 16 Pro case finally stops muffling the bottom microphone his old case blocked.Nora joins between sessions of the virtual American Council of the Blind convention, wrapping up this week with the annual banquet - archives available on ACB Media. Her birthday landsAugust 8, right on karaoke night. And in the most loving roast of the season, Stacey weaponizes Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" against George and Philip, the whole crew piles on, and Stacey announces plans for a Satan-themed birthday party for George in November. George takes it like a champ.Coming soon: JC teases "The Offering," a new song by Pastor Jeff Dewick, premiering on the playout system once permissions clear.Keep technology alive, let your talent shine.Recorded 2026-07-29.
