Episode 221 - Riding The Glide

It’s another very special crossover episode as Shawn sits down with the cast of the AT Banter podcast along with special guests Albert Ruel and Blind Beginnings youth alumni Alethea for a lively roundtable about the Glide—an AI-powered mobility device created by and for people who are blind.

You’ll hear firsthand reactions from a recent Demo Day, where hope, skepticism, and excitement all had a seat at the table. From comparing Glide to guide dogs and white canes, to debating how it might change daily travel, we share our honest insights, plenty of laughs, and hopes for what’s next.

Blind Beginnings’ mission is to inspire children and youth who are blind or partially sighted and their families through diverse programs, experiences, counseling and peer support, and opportunities to create fulfilling lives. Visit us online at www.blindbeginnings.ca to find out more.
