    Episode 210 - Vomitous Interruptous

    2026/07/26 | 1h 41 mins.
    It's an all new that Real Blind Tech show with Allison, Brian, and David discussing the latest news in tech that is important to the blind and low vision.
     
    We kick this episode off with a series of announcements. The biggest being the all new That Real Blind Tech Show iOS app, which as of this release is still awaiting approval from Apple to be released. So much for that 48 hour that Apple claims 90% of apps get approved in. It should be released any day in the next week.
     
    Brian discusses some of the fun he had when posting the app for approval to Apple's App Store Connect, while it is accessible the usability could be massively improved.
     
    Our next announcement is that Laugh For Sight will be returning for our 19th year at Gotham Comedy club on Monday, October 26, 26, NYC. This year we will be donating all proceeds to InTandem and the Seeing Eye. Stay tuned for many more announcements coming soon.
     
    And Football season is almost back so if you are interested in joining us in playing either Fantasy Football or the new College Fantasy Football, shoot us in an email at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, spots are avail on a first come first serve basis, and spots are already limited.
     
    Brian then gets derailed talking about seeing Bon Jovi at Madison Square Garden a few nights ago.
     
    If you hate Brian's Bon Jovi love, then skip ahead in the show to about 31 minutes which is where Allison discusses running the most current iOS beta.
     
    The Meta Glasses are getting more backlash from celebs we have never heard of or care about.
     
    We then enter the terrifying part of this episode as we discuss how a pilot answering one text message destroyed his life. This is similar to what Brian has been dealing with now for 7 months.
     
    You can now recover access to your Google account with a Selfie video.
     
    The way we have purchased iPhones is about to change, as Apple is moving to leasing iPhones, and if you miss a payment, Apple will be able to deactivate your phone, yeah, nothing could go wrong here!
     
    We then dive in to Clauding as Brian and Allison discuss the states of their latest projects, we ask David if he has taken the dive yet, and we discuss some of our frustrations with Claude Van Damme. This is a segment you will not want to miss as someone vomits in their mouth, and the show kind of temporarily goes off the rails but in a good way.
     
    Who knew that voice mode wasn't in the latest versions of Claude?
     
    Lawmakers are preparing a bill that will require all A.I. systems to have a built in kill switch.
     
    And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

    Brian then gets in to his latest travel adventures and a couple of fun stories from the cruise he just got back from. Everybody then discusses their Fourth of July celebrations.
     
    And a quick round of that Real Blind Feud pops up. Question, What is New York State the first to ban?
     
    Be My eyes announced they are finally coming to the Mac Desktop, but as our man on the ground at the NFB Conference David tells us, the announcement of all this went a little off the rails.
     
    Meta is rumored to be working on a pair of Smart Glasses that will be recording all the time.

    Episode 208 - Demo of Claude in Action, xCode, and Terminal Making the Baseball SIM and That Real Movie Quiz iOS Game

    2026/06/19 | 1h 12 mins.
    It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with Brian once again flying solo as he walks you through VibeCoding. Even if you think VibeCoding is not for you, stick around and give it a listen, as you will be amazed at how simple it really is.
     
    Brian will walk you through working with Claude to build actual real life web based and iOS apps, Xcode, Terminal, and demo part of his web based Baseball SIM and iOS That Real Movie Quiz game.
     
    The first thing Brian walks you through is some of his work in Claude with his Baseball SIM. You will see how he talks to Claude and the responses he receives.
     
    After walking you through some prompting to Claude and its responses on fixes to his project, Brian then walks you through the main menu structure of his Baseball SIM game. Then he walks you through the Dashboard to the game. This is where a lot of the fun is located. Brian SIMS a game and shows you the box score for that game, where the Yankees win, Yankees win!
     
    Then you will get to see or hear some real gameplay with the announcer in action.
     
    After the Baseball SIM demo, Brian begins discussing the Movie Jeopardy game now called That Real Movie Quiz game he is creating. The game is in very early Test Flight stage with a working prototype.
     
    First thing Brian walks you through is some more prompting with Claude, but this time he is recording all of his work in real time. Claude leads Brian through some file replacements which then leads him in to Xcode.
     
    Brian then fires up That Real Movie quiz on his iPhone, but runs in to an issue where there are only two categories on the Board. Not to worry, as running in to issues is part of working, designing, and developing with Claude.
     
    Brian then takes a break, and gets back in to it all the next day and describes what went wrong with his That Real Movie Quiz iOS game.
     
     
     
    Then it is back to Claude to find out what caused this issue in the latest build of the game.
     
    Off the air, Brian made the necessary fixes to That Real Movie Quiz, and he then demos the current final product on his iPhone.
     
       
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    That Real Movie Quiz is now in early beta testing, and if you would like to test out the app through Test flight on your iPhone, shoot us in an email to ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, and we will get back to you, or Brian will get back to you, or an unfired intern will get back to you. Basically someone will get back to you.

    Episode 207 - Special Report: The VibeCoding episode

    2026/06/13 | 1h 22 mins.
    It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show, and a different kind of episode as Allison, Brian, and Jeanine get together for a Special Report on VibeCoding. What's the old saying? If you can't beat them, join them.
     
    We kick the conversation off discussing when we first learned about VibeCoding.
     
    We discuss our first experiences with VibeCoding when we sat down at the computer and typed that first prompt to Claude.
     
    We go in to the difference between a chat and a project on Claude, and why you may choose to use a project.
     
    We then discuss issues we have had when working on a project and how we got around the issues.
     
    We then dive in to some of the projects we are working on and some of the upcoming projects we would like to begin working on. Don't steal our ideas, unless they will turn out better than our ideas!
     
    And off of our ideas we give you breaking news of a possible new website page coming to you pretty soon.
     
    And like anything worth doing we then discuss the possibility of people stealing or copying your ideas and trying to make something you create their own.
     
    And because if That Real Blind Tech show is one thing, it is educational, face falling on the floor laughing emoji, but we do talk about what we have learned since we started VibeCoding.
     
    We then answer the question can anyone quickly get started with VibeCoding.
     
     
    And of course with anything now a days, we dive in to the possible dangers of VibeCoding.
     
    We then venture in to how Allison built an app for iOS and tested it on her phone.

    2026/06/09 | 1h 10 mins.
    It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show as Allison, Brian, and David are here to discuss this year's WWDC in a way that no other Blind Tech Show can.
     
    The show kicks off discussing some of the crazy happenings in New York City and it is only going to get crazier as the 250th comes the weekend of July 4th. Strange things have been afoot in the New York City sewer system!
     
    We then give you a quick preview about our next episode which will be all about VibeCoding.
     
    All of the FIFA World Cup games will air with an audio described track through the Fifa app.
     
    We then dive in to our WWDC26 recap and no big surprise as the keynote was almost entirely about Apple Intelligence. Take two for Apple as they introduce Siri A.I. A stand alone Siri app will be coming to your devices. Siri mode will be coming to the camera app giving us a whole new visual intelligence experience.
     
    Unfortunately for our friends in the EU do not expect any of these smarter Siri features any time soon.
     
    Additionally, if you want to run the newest Apple Intelligence features for some of them you will need to be on a newer device.
     
    Safari is getting a big makeover, but will you actually use any of the new features?
     
    iCloud Plus subscribers will get new additional benefits for apple Intelligence.
     
    And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha reading.
