152. smells like a memory

hi hello hey — do you smell that?? smells like a new episode! Welcome to the next installment of our Sensory Series, where we talk about all the things we love about our non-visual senses! Last time, we discussed our favorite sounds, so this time we’re talking about our favorite smells. Like our sounds episode, we didn’t just pick smells that are generally “good” — we also chose some that evoke specific memories, places, and joyful feelings. And speaking of joyful feelings… we’re so happy to a

150. hear us out: sounds

hi hello hey–do you hear that?? it’s a new episode! Once upon a time, we did an episode about our favorite things, which included a few favorite smells. As visually impaired women, we’re still visual people, but we also rely on our other four senses quite a bit. We thought it would be fun to create a little “Sensory Series” exploring our favorite things from each nonvisual sense (and maybe our least favorites too?). To kick things off, we’re talking all about our favorite sounds! Some are univ

149. i miss sparklin’: a cane update

hi hello hey, we’re making our canes accessories now. We’ve done many an episode about mobility tools, but it’s been two years since we last talked canes, when Case got her all-pink cane and Cass got a No-Jab cane. We’re back—and thanks to our friends at Ambutech, we’re here to debut canes for all seasons, including matching beautiful, bedazzled canes and a cane setup specifically made for the outdoorsy! Besides showing off our new additions, we take our canes for a stroll down memory lane to

148. breaking: people change (6 year podaversary)

who could’ve predicted we’d still be hi, hello-ing, and hey-ing 6 years later?! Wow, podience! We can’t believe this is our SIXTH podaversary. 2020 seems like a lifetime ago, and we had to take a beat to think about everything that’s changed since then. Since recording in our parents’ houses during a global pandemic, we’ve each made a myriad of changes, both large and small, all while keeping the pod a constant in our evolving lives. While “things change” isn’t exactly breaking news, we wanted
