The High Contrast Podcast
By Joel Zimba, Special Projects Coordinator, MDTAP
High Contrast is the newest podcast offering from the Serotalk Podcast Network: www.serotalk.com. To my knowledge, this is the first and only podcast specifically focusing on issues related to low vision. The three hosts describe their assorted vision difficulties, which might be specifically helpful to someone without low vision in understanding the vast grey area (no pun intended) between fully sighted and totally blind.
The show does not exclusively discuss assistive technology, though there is some discussion of the low vision products at CSUN, including the Flick Camera. There is also a lively discussion of exercise in general, which is spawned by the recent news of several visually impaired people running in marathons.
The inaugural episode of High Contrast shows promise. It nicely fills a niche in the Serotalk offerings, and I look forward to future installments.
