Independence doesn't mean doing everything yourself — it means having the choice to live life on your own terms. Kayaker, Sean, and Garth unpack what independence actually means for blind people, tackling everything from GPS apps and Be My Eyes to the awkward reality of asking for help in coffee shops.

The gang returns for 2026 with CES chat, and predictions that will age like milk! 
What's inside:
Kayaker freezes in New England; Sean freezes in the original England; Garth refuses to stop being sunny
Steven Scott drops in from Double Tap and immediately turns "a quick chat" into "a feature-length film"
AirPods Pro 3 praise, ear-tip rage, and the haunting tale of the "dog-processed" AirPods
The Lightsaber Cane: brilliant, ridiculous, heavier than normal, and only sometimes practical
"Does this confuse the public?" Spoiler: the public is already confused
Keychron keyboards, accessibility quirks, and a CES announcement of a concrete keyboard (because why not)
HP's keyboard-with-a-computer concept: 
Robot future: great in factories, questionable in living rooms, nightmare fuel for kids' toys
AI glasses talk: open ecosystems, camera access, LiDAR dreams, and "Meta, please stop resetting"
Braille label printer news: useful… if the app isn't a disaster
2026 predictions: Siri overhaul (again), Google wearables rising, AI hype deflating, and general tech chaos
Overall, CES + accessibility + Star Wars + keyboards + mild existential dread. Exactly what you came for.

We're delighted to return with another Christmas audio drama. This time we're revisiting Dr Seuss's classic The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and giving it an accessibility twist. We truly appreciate all those who lent their voices to make this possible. 
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year from the Audio Pizza team!

In this holiday edition of Audio Pizza, Kayaker, Sean and Garth dive into what Sean saw at Sight Village London. They chat through new low-vision and blindness tech including the Angel Eye document reader, Luna night-vision glasses for RP, and HumanWare's upcoming BrailleNote Evolve Windows notetaker. Sean also gets hands-on with the ultra-light Svárovský cane, and shares updated impressions of the Glide autonomous mobility device. To top it off, Kayaker unveils an MIT-built "Uber car finder" iPhone app, available via TestFlight, that helps blind users locate the right vehicle in busy pickup areas.

Audio Pizza's annual holiday gift guide is back, with Sean, Garth and Kayaker trading banter, bad weather reports and actually decent present ideas. They compare Meta smart glasses with newer AI-first options, talk through why Apple's AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch remain go-to tech gifts, and get surprisingly passionate about good iPhone cases, light-up white canes, and properly sharp kitchen knives. Garth throws in tactile Hanayama puzzles and UV-printed tactile photos as great options for blind and low-vision friends, and the trio round things out with a defence of gift cards, a detour into accessible jigsaws, and a spirited argument about cutting up food and eating with your hands.
