Episode Summary Robert Lamm returns to The Blind Chick several years after his first appearance, and this time Penn and Moses get to look at something rare: what happened after the goals, struggles, and dreams Robert talked about the first time around. Robert has now graduated from Colorado State University, transitioned from an internship into a full-time career with Stantec, and is beginning the next chapter of his engineering career. But the conversation goes much deeper than the degree or the job. Robert talks candidly about more than seven years of sobriety, finding the right recovery community, the transportation barriers that can make community involvement much harder for someone who is blind, and learning that leadership sometimes means knowing when to say no. And, of course, Fletcher is never far from the conversation. Robert reflects on how his guide dog helped change the direction of his life, forced him to slow down and take care of himself, and eventually became part of Robert’s own desire to give back. That has now led Robert into advocacy and public speaking with Leader Dogs for the Blind, including a new role on its alumni board. Near the end, Robert shares an idea that has stayed with him from his time as a CSU Presidential Ambassador: philanthropy is often described through time, talent, and treasure, but there is a fourth “T” — testimony. Sometimes telling the story of what you have lived through is itself a way of giving back. Robert’s challenge is simple: pay attention to where life is leading you, have the courage to act on the opportunities in front of you, find your purpose, and keep doing the right thing.

Episode Summary Chris Felder was 21 years old, working toward a future as an EMT and raising his young son when he was shot twice in the head and once in the shoulder during an attempted robbery. He survived, but the shooting took his sight and sent him into an eight-year struggle with depression, isolation, anger, and the loss of the independent life he once knew. Chris joins Penn and Moses for an honest, funny, and unfiltered conversation about the long road from fighting blindness to building an identity around it. He explains how podcasting helped him finally accept who he was, reclaim the word “blind,” and become The Official Blind Steppa—a motivational speaker, mental-health advocate, entrepreneur, and source of encouragement for people around the world. The conversation explores the stereotypes Chris faced as a young Black man and later as a blind Black man, the family and humor that helped him heal, and the difference between merely surviving trauma and learning how to live with purpose. Chris also discusses employment discrimination, the need for honest mental-health support for people who are newly blind, the importance of blind representation, and why more people with disabilities are creating their own businesses and platforms. Through laughter, difficult truths, and unmistakable confidence, Chris offers a message for anyone walking through a dark season: do not stop in the middle of hell. Keep walking. Your moment is coming. Content note: This episode includes candid discussion of gun violence, depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma, and recovery.

Episode Summary Jeff Skoglund, better known online as The Blind Outdoorsman, joins Penn and Moses for an honest conversation about vision loss, resilience, relationships, recovery, and the importance of continuing to live fully. Jeff shares how retinitis pigmentosa gradually changed his vision, why he made the difficult decision to stop driving, and how posting ordinary moments from his life became an unexpected source of purpose. Whether he is hiking, gardening, cooking, traveling, working on a project, or spending time with his guide dog, Natty, Jeff shows that Blind and Low-vision people are not performing magic. They are simply living their lives and finding different ways to do what matters. The conversation also explores grief, alcohol misuse, divorce, returning to school, finding love again, and rebuilding after seasons when Jeff felt he had lost his direction. He also recounts the recent heart attack he initially mistook for heartburn and explains why he hesitated to call 911. Jeff is now using his platform to build community and encourage Blind and Low-vision people to spend more time outdoors. His message is not that everyone must move at the same pace or accomplish the same things. It is that life does not end when vision changes. We keep learning, adapting, and figuring it out together. As Jeff puts it, there is always more room around the campfire. Contact Information Website: BlindOutdoorsman.com Social media: Search Blind Outdoorsman on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Episode SummaryPenn’s difficult 24 hours begins while filming a mobility video for a new guide-dog application. An inaccessible intersection, a vehicle blocking the crosswalk, and a driver trying to “help” leave her confused, shaken, and in danger. Penn explains why blind pedestrians rely on predictable traffic patterns and why drivers should follow the law instead of stopping unexpectedly, honking, waving, or yelling directions.The next morning, an Uber driver leaves Penn stranded as she tries to get to work. Penn and Moses discuss accessible transportation, guide-dog grief, pedestrian safety, universal design, and the exhaustion of repeatedly fighting for basic access. They also share updates about Aftersight’s summer social and the annual accessible hike in Winter Park on September 12.Show CreditsShow: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Producer: Jonathan Price Presented by: AftersightContact InfoWebsite: aftersight.org Email: feedback@aftersight.org Phone: 720-712-8856Learn more about the Aftersight hike and other upcoming events at aftersight.org.

Summary  Penn and Moses are catching listeners up on a full summer of memories, baseball, travel, disability pride, and the small choices that can make life feel bigger. Penn shares how a monocular has helped her follow baseball games more fully, while Moses takes the usual scenic route through history, Hemingway, and childhood Pirates stories.  Listener Johnny Johnson's email opens a conversation about Innervision, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and the power of connection in the Blind and Low-vision community. The conversation then turns to Blind Pilots, the upcoming Winter Park hike with No Barriers USA, and a Camp Abilities experience where the right cane—and the right story—changed how kids saw mobility.  Penn and Moses also talk about Braille, disability pride, accessible technology, and why difference should not be treated as something to hide. It is a funny, wandering, deeply human episode about choosing memories, using the tools that create freedom, and believing that blindness can still be an adventure.

Summary In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses talk about digital accessibility, the ADA, and the recent delay of federal web accessibility deadlines. Penn shares her frustration over accessibility being treated like an optional kindness instead of a basic civil right, while Moses connects the issue to larger historical fights for equal access, voting rights, public infrastructure, technology, and independence.Together, they remind listeners that accessibility benefits everyone. Whether it’s websites, voting machines, medical forms, sidewalks, restaurants, or digital platforms, equal access is not a luxury. It is part of living with dignity, freedom, and full participation in society.

Along the way, he talks about family, faith, cooking, running, entrepreneurship, adventure, and the mindset shift from “I have to” to “I get to.” This episode is not just about survival.

1. Episode Summary  Penn and Moses Street return with their signature humor, honesty, and warmth after a full weekend at Cherry Creek State Park for Canes, Tails, and Trails, a collaborative walk with Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind. They reflect on the joy of gathering with the blind and low-vision community, the exhaustion that follows meaningful work, and the possibility of making the event an annual tradition.  The conversation then turns personal as Penn and Moses answer a listener question about age-gap relationships. With a 20-year age difference between them, they share what has helped their marriage endure: communication, commitment, therapy, humility, and the willingness to keep choosing each other as life changes.  Later, Penn and Moses highlight Claude Monet, exploring how vision loss shaped some of his most powerful work. They reflect on creativity, low vision, identity, and the truth that limitation does not have to end a person’s purpose. The episode closes with encouragement for listeners to pursue their dreams, reject “stinking thinking,” and remember to be kind to themselves and others.  2.

1) Episode Summary  In this solo episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses catch listeners up on life, travel, gardening, Memorial Day reflections, St. Louis adventures, and the power of learning to advocate for yourself. Moses opens with his “summer gym,” also known as the garden, before the conversation moves into honoring Memorial Day with the reverence it deserves. Penn shares highlights from the 2026 GiveCon conference in St. Louis, including a surprise live podcast appearance and visits to the zoo and Cardinals games. She also highlights Aftersight’s upcoming walk with Foresight Adventure Guides at Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora on Saturday, May 30th, 2026, inviting listeners to register, donate, and join the community for a five-mile walk, lunch, music, and connection.  The heart of the episode comes through Penn’s reflection on self-advocacy: how people often advocate fiercely for loved ones but struggle when it comes time to speak up for themselves. With humor, honesty, and their usual back-and-forth rhythm, Penn and Moses remind listeners that blindness, disability, age, or health challenges do not erase a person’s intelligence, personality, experience, or place in the world.  2) Contact Info  The Blind Chick / Aftersight Website: Aftersight.org Email: feedback@aftersight.org Phone: 720-712-8856  Mentioned in this episode: Purpose and Profit Club podcast Foresight Adventure Guides Rocky Mountain Cyber Lions Club Ruckus in the Alley  Producer: Jonathan Price, Podcast and Program Producer at Aftersight  3) Show Credits  The Blind Chick is brought to you by Aftersight. Hosted by Penn Street and Moses Street.  Produced by Jonathan Price.  For more information, visit Aftersight.org or reach out at feedback@aftersight.org. 

1) Episode Summary  In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome Elizabeth Long, an outdoor adventurer from Ridgway, Colorado, whose story moves through hearing loss, vision loss, spinal injury, adaptive sports, and the long process of learning how to stop hiding and start living fully.  Elizabeth shares how growing up around unspoken family attitudes toward disability shaped her early silence around hearing loss, and how learning ASL later became a doorway into community, confidence, and identity. She talks about moving from Michigan to southwest Colorado, falling in love with the mountains, rock climbing, ice climbing, skiing, and eventually discovering adaptive sports.  The conversation becomes especially powerful as Elizabeth describes how adaptive skiing, including mono-skiing, helped her rediscover freedom without pretending her body had no limits. Penn connects deeply with Elizabeth’s story, especially around the grief of possibly giving up skiing and the possibility of finding a new way forward.  At its heart, this episode is about not closing the door on your life when disability changes the rules. Elizabeth’s message is clear: you may have to do things differently, but differently does not mean lesser.  2) Contact Info  Guest: Elizabeth Long Instagram: @sanjuanmtnchick Spelled: S-A-N-J-U-A-N-M-T-N-C-H-I-C-K  Aftersight Website: Aftersight.org Phone: (720) 712-8856 Email: feedback@aftersight.org  Producer: Jonathan Price Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight  3) Show Credits  Show: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Guest: Elizabeth Long Producer: Jonathan Price Presented by: Aftersight

1) Episode Summary  In this warm, funny, and reflective episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses open with Mother’s Day reflections, their first Sprinter van camping trip of the season, and a very important audience assignment: help name the van. Their trip to Saratoga, Wyoming includes hot springs, a late-night knock from the police, a Google Maps prairie adventure, and the discovery that they had unknowingly parked just steps from the lake.  Penn then shares a moving story about meeting Diane, a woman adjusting to vision loss, and helping her find tools, encouragement, and a new cane. The conversation turns toward the deep value of connecting with others who understand blindness and low vision from the inside. Moses shares his current family photo project, scanning thousands of old photographs and negatives, some unseen for nearly 80 years. The episode then centers on a listener question about how Penn and Moses “live above the noise.” Their answer blends humor and wisdom as they discuss choosing peace, protecting their marriage, avoiding emotional drama, and refusing to let outside negativity poison their relationship. The episode closes with a historical spotlight on Harriet Tubman, including Penn’s reflections on Tubman’s low vision, courage, and almost unimaginable resilience.

1) Episode Summary  In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses welcome back Jean Parker for a deeper and more powerful conversation about journalism, blindness, courage, emergency preparedness, and the kind of storytelling that does not come from a press release—it comes from walking into complicated places and refusing to look away.  Jean shares stories from her career as a blind female journalist working in South Asia, including a tense but transformative assignment in Libya where she unexpectedly had to cover an international conference alone. She talks about navigating risk, cultural barriers, government minders, technical challenges, and the constant need to hold firmly to both adaptive skills and adaptive philosophy.  The conversation then moves into Jean’s doctoral work, which focused on emergency preparedness education through community radio in North Indian villages. She explains how her field research was shaped by her journalism background, her observations after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and her desire to understand how trusted local radio could help communities receive life-saving information before and during disasters.  Jean also reflects on the importance of trust, local storytelling, community voices, and staying rooted in values—especially in a media landscape where original reporting and local journalism are becoming harder to find. The episode closes with warmth, humor, and a reminder that courage often shows up when the plane is already moving and there is no graceful way to back out.  2) Contact Info  Guest: Jean Parker LinkedIn: Add verified link before publishing  Aftersight: Website: aftersight.org Email: feedback@aftersight.org  Producer Contact: Jonathan Price Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight jonathan@aftersight.org (720) 712-8856  3) Show Credits  Podcast: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Guest: Jean Parker Producer: Jonathan Price Organization: Aftersight 

1) Episode Summary  In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street jump into a fun, honest, slightly chaotic, and very human conversation about YouTube, listener comments, meaningful memories, photography, and the legacy of blind and low-vision creatives. After a hilarious “take two” opening, Penn and Moses celebrate the show’s move to YouTube and thank listeners for the growing engagement and heartfelt comments. The conversation moves into a personal question about favorite photos, which leads Moses into a powerful reflection on how people often dislike photos not because of how they look, but because of how they feel when the camera captures them. Penn shares one of her favorite images Moses ever took of her at the sand dunes, describing it as a symbol of freedom and stepping into a new chapter.  From there, the episode highlights Matthew Brady, the famous Civil War photographer and portrait artist who experienced significant vision loss. Moses shares how Brady built a team of photographers, documented the Civil War, photographed major historical figures, and helped shape the way Americans visually remember that era. Penn and Moses connect Brady’s story to other low-vision photographers they have known, reminding listeners that creativity does not disappear when vision changes.  The episode closes with a strong encouragement for blind and low-vision listeners to get outside, socialize, create, move, and be part of what Moses calls a “blind renaissance.” Penn also invites Colorado listeners to join Aftersight and Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind for a walk at Cherry Creek State Park on May 30, and both hosts encourage listeners to leave comments, send feedback, and share stories of historical figures with vision loss.  2) Contact Info  The Blind Chick / Aftersight Website: aftersight.org Email: feedback@aftersight.org  Event Mentioned Aftersight and Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind walk Date mentioned: May 30 Location mentioned: Cherry Creek State Park Registration: aftersight.org, under the events button  Producer Jonathan Price Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight Email: jonathan@aftersight.org Phone: (720) 712-8856  3) Show Credits Show: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Produced by: Jonathan Price Organization: Aftersight 

1) Episode Summary  In this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn Street and Moses Street welcome Brandy Mimms AKA: Unique The Deaf Dancer for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, art, and refusing to let other people’s limitations define your future. Brandy shares her story of being adopted, growing up hard of hearing, losing her parents at a young age, surviving Hurricane Katrina, and eventually building a life in Arkansas rooted in dance, advocacy, and creativity.  What makes this conversation land is Brandy’s honesty. She talks about the pain of being underestimated, the long road of learning who she really was, and the discipline it took to keep moving forward when doors did not open easily. From trying out for cheerleading without formal experience, to pushing through college dance programs, to learning how to navigate performance spaces with both hearing and vision challenges, Brandy’s story is a vivid reminder that calling is often forged through adversity, not comfort.  The heart of the episode is Brandy’s message: never let the wrong “no” become the final word over your life. She encourages listeners to try, to fail, to keep learning, and to pursue what they love even when the path is unconventional. The result is an episode full of courage, humor, and deeply earned wisdom.  2) Contact Info  Guest / Organization Brandy Unique The Deaf Dancer Socials listed in the episode: Unique the Deaf Dancer on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube Website listed in the transcript: www.brandy.com (verify before publishing, since this comes from transcription) Brandy also invites listeners to reach out through social media for performances, presentations, speaking, and possible virtual dance classes.  Aftersight Feedback / guest questions: feedback@aftersight.org Producer Credits Produced by Jonathan Price for Aftersight.  3) Show Credits  Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Guest: Brandy Mimms - Unique The Deaf Dancer Producer: Jonathan Price Network: Aftersight

1) Episode Summary  Penn and Moses open with a lively recap of their recent trip to Colorado Springs for the 2026 Access and Functional Needs Annual Conference, a stop at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Penn’s visit with her prosthetic ocular specialist. That conversation turns into a fun listener prompt about prosthetic eyes before the episode shifts into a new recurring segment: pulling listener-style questions from a deck of cards.  From there, the episode settles into a thoughtful and personal conversation about the first blind person each of them remembers meeting, old stereotypes around blind people “making brooms,” and why those assumptions still matter. Penn and Moses use that thread to move into a larger reflection on blind history, with Helen Keller as the centerpiece of the conversation. They talk about Keller’s life, advocacy, education, legacy, and their own visit to her home in Alabama, while also naming the frustration of seeing a place tied to disability history remain inaccessible in key ways.  The heart of the episode is not just biography. It is a challenge to the sympathy-based prejudice that still surrounds blindness. Penn and Moses argue that blind and low-vision people are often underestimated, overlooked, or spoken for, even though they are fully capable, deeply skilled, and often extraordinary. The episode ends with a clear invitation: listeners can send in questions, suggest historical figures to feature, or reach out if they want to be on The Blind Chick.  2) Contact Info  Guest/Topic: No guest this week — host-led conversation focused on Helen Keller, blind history, and public assumptions around blindness. Listener Contact: feedback@aftersight.orgOrganization: Aftersight Producer: Jonathan Price  3) Show Credits Show: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Producer: Jonathan Price Presented by: Aftersight 

Episode Summary  Jean Parker returns to The Blind Chick for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about journalism, truth, and what gets lost when stories are filtered through power, ownership, and incomplete perspectives. She shares how she entered journalism almost by accident, moving from disability-focused radio into international reporting, documentary work, and NPR coverage across South Asia, while often producing stories alone in the field.  From there, the episode turns into something deeper than a career story. Jean reflects on South Africa, human rights reporting, the limits of journalism’s power to create change, and the steady decline of trust in legacy media. Penn and Moses press into censorship, the collapse of local newsrooms, nonprofit journalism, podcast ethics, media literacy, fact-checking, and the importance of asking who gets to write the story in the first place. The result is a grounded, challenging episode about truth, responsibility, and why thoughtful journalism still matters.  Contact Info Guest: Jean Parker — blind journalist, former international reporter, and documentary producer.

1) Episode Summary This episode of The Blind Chick is raw, funny, and deeply human. Penn and Moses open with an update on Moses’s recent radiation treatment and reflect on the emotional weight of seeing age, health, and mortality up close. From there, the conversation moves into something bigger: what legacy really means, what actually lasts after we’re gone, and why impact is often more personal and less glamorous than people imagine.  They also talk candidly about therapy, marriage, and the long work of learning how to communicate well. Penn and Moses unpack how family patterns shape relationships, why “all we need is love” is not enough on its own, and how real connection takes honesty, patience, and intentional effort. The episode lands on a hopeful note, reminding listeners to pursue quality time now, to create memories while they can, and to choose kindness toward themselves and others.  2) Contact Info  Penn Street & Moses Street  Feedback / Listener Email: feedback@aftersight.org  Aftersight: aftersight.org  Produced by Jonathan Price for Aftersight  3) Show Credits Show: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Organization: Aftersight Producer: Jonathan Price

1) Episode Summary In this deeply personal solo episode of The Blind Chick, Penn Street shares why Moses is away from the show for the moment and opens up about the difficult medical journey he has been facing. She walks listeners through a series of diagnoses over the past couple of years, including a slow-growing cancer, skin cancer, and now a tumor affecting his hearing and balance that requires radiation treatment. Penn speaks with raw honesty about what it means to support someone you love through serious illness, especially while navigating her own disability and the emotional weight of caregiving. She reflects on the difference between being the patient and being the support person, the fear of not being able to fully read someone’s pain, and the intentional communication that is helping carry them both through this season. The episode is heartfelt, vulnerable, and grounded in gratitude. Penn asks listeners for prayer, positive thoughts, and encouragement for Moses as treatment begins. She also thanks the Blind Chick audience for their support, ratings, comments, and kindness, reminding everyone to spread light, care for themselves, and show compassion to others. 2) Contact Info Guest / Featured Voice: Penn Street Co-Host, The Blind ChickTopic / Mentioned Contact: Listener encouragement and advice can be sent to: feedback@aftersight.org Organization: Aftersight Website: Aftersight.org Email: feedback@aftersight.org Phone: (720) 712-8856 Producer: Jonathan Price, Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight 3) Show Credits Show: The Blind Chick Host: Penn Street Co-Host: Moses Street Producer: Jonathan Price Organization: Aftersight
