Episode 204 - Watching Sports When You Are Blind or Partially Sighted

On this special episode of the Limitless Podcast, we’re handing the mic over to our Youth! Acacia takes the lead in hosting a discussion with Ishita and Romina about the experience of watching sports as a blind or partially sighted fan. Together with Acacia, they share personal insights on using magnifiers, apps, and other tools to stay connected to the action and explore the thrill of live events. They also dive into the importance of clear, descriptive commentary and explore ideas for improving accessibility, from personalized commentators to better accommodations at live games. Tune in for an engaging, youth-led perspective on making sports more inclusive for all.
