    S1E1 - Pilot, introduction to the podcast
    Sep 5 2024
    Episode Notes

    This pilot introduces you to me and the idea of "the people make the places." It is not a place itself that one remembers about a trip. It is the special people you meet. There are examples of Sarajevo at the Olympics in 1984, 25 blind people traveling in Ireland and Scotland with the first versions of GPS, riding in the cockpit of a 727 over Iguazu Falls, hanging out with Stevie Wonder and more. Blind people use alternative technology and techniques to navigate. This episode is an overview and future episodes will focus on a particular place and person.
