Quack Quack Quack listeners (hello, in duck language) and welcome to another episode of the best podcast in the world. It’s a funny auld show this week as we experienced some technical difficulties - more about this later. We begin this week with Stuart having just come back from yet another holiday, is this his sixth of the year? He has been living it up in Lanzarote. Well at least living it up to his knees in the sea! But we are glad to have him back in the BGC office, …. Well, someone needs to

Hello our little petit filous. We hope you are well and are looking forward to this week’s show. It’s a bit of a strange one again because for the second time in as many shows Jan decides to walk away from recording without a whisper to anyone and Stuart and Óran are left home alone to host the show for a while. However, things do get back on track when Jan returns and we get down to important topics such as: the weather, Santa’s latest invoice, IOS 16 (again!), and our increasing energy bills

Hello lovely Blind Guys Chatters! We begin this show with some very sad news. It appears that our subjects don’t love us as much as we thought, and as a result, did not see fit to adorn us with lavish jewels and votes for listener’s choice podcast of the year. Sjef and Larry are beside themselves with disappointment. We will just have to regroup and do better next time. Jan, yet again has been on more travels, this time to Warsaw for work. Of course, Stuart has been to Warsaw to drink the place

Hello you gorgeous Blind Guys Chat fans! welcome to another eye watering edition of the show. We start this week with a gripe from Óran. Well - who else?! Just before recording he was out spending money on a new yacht, and when presented with the card machine found he could not enter the pin number because it had a touchscreen. Have you ever experienced this issue? How are these device designers allowed to get away with not making a payment system accessible? We discuss. We keep the whinge-fest

Hello dear listeners. The Blind Guys are flying out of the Blind Guys Chat nest again this week and we are all off to the UK. Jan and Stuart will be selling their wares at Sight village in Birmingham, while Clodagh and Óran are off to the home of The Beatles. What better place to learn about the history of the Fab Four but also go to a gig in the form of ‘The Eagles’. Yay! Speaking of gigs, did you tune in to Glastonbury? Stuart and Óran are chatting about Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish who were

It's time for another mighty episode of Blind Guys Chat and thanks to the posse, we eventually found Jan hiding behind the couch. Phew! However, we have a small issue in that our guest this week, Saleem Ur Rahman, seems to have taken over Jan's desk, so Jan will just have to remain standing for the moment. Saleem is here to tell us all about this years WWDC conference and in particular what is coming up in IOS 16 for iPhone. But wanting to provide an unbiased and balanced discussion about new

Hello dear listeners; and here we go with another fantastic podcast from Blind Guys Chat. Well, one member of our team is missing this week. It looks like Jan has absconded to the pub so he can watch the Monaco Grand Prix highlights because he can’t believe the result. So, what to do…? Luckily Clodagh doesn’t need to go to makeup, but the same can’t be said about Stuart! So Clodagh kindly agreed to learn the Dutch way of life so she could fill in for Jan for the entire show. Let’s hope she doesn’t

Yay - it’s time to hear from your favourite podcasters again! This week the Blind Guys welcome back Kevin Sherwin who is going to share his views on this year’s Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Turin, Italy. Did he want Ukraine to win? Was he impressed with the set? Does he think Santa should be allowed take part in the event? Does he know how they get the figs into the Fig Rolls...?

We begin this week’s show with Jan telling us about his latest trip. How many holidays does this man need?! It was not all champagne and cerveza, as he and Sjef got stuck in the airport due to a strike. What is your view on 3D printing? Do you think it could be used for demonstration purposes at events. We discuss… Also, we talk about cruising. Not that kind of cruising. The giant ship kind. Have you ever been? Would you consider a cruise if you could bring your guide dog? Have you ever used ‘Travel

A belated happy easter to all our listeners. We hope you had a lovely easter break. We begin on the topic of travel: Jan is off to Madrid later this month for work purposes so we ask ourselves the question, should travel for work or leisure be a thing of the past? What is your view? Also, share your thoughts on the current state of easter egg chocolate - do you think the quality has diminished in the last few years? Jan is just back from his easter egg hunt, and Sjef (his guide dog) has been a bit

Welcome to this week’s episode. We kick off this show with Jan just back from his travels . How many holidays does this man need! It is census time here in Ireland and Stuart has a bee in his bonnet about the lack of an accessible version of the census form. But surely, he just gets one of the staff to fill it out? No? (Why are there always so many bees and so many bonnets here at Blind Guys Chat?!) Clodagh has audio messages from Dave & Derry, and the guys can’t believe that they are both

On the show this week we are talking to Nasreen Bhutta (nasreen@sourcingfoundation.org) the executive director of the Sourcing foundation (www.sourcingfoundation.org). The foundation was set up to help marginalised communities become human resource specialists. Nasreen takes us through the learning process and Jan and Óran need to decide if Stuart should go on the course. Stuart just upgraded his iPhone to 15.4 and we hear about 2 new cool features related to COVID. You can now add your COVID

It’s another fun-filled show this week: We begin with an update from Óran on the Apple Air Pod switching between iPhone and Apple Watch, spoiler alert: there is no real update! The Blind Guys are concerned about the conflict in Ukraine. We don’t normally get serious, but we have a quick chat about this awful situation. Jan is full of good cheer because he has just returned from his holiday in the Dutch Caribbean, ahem, or maybe not? Stuart has an update on his install of Windows 11. Is it good

On our last podcast, Óran and Stuart were having a moan about how inaccessible LinkedIN is, well… their opinion might be about to change as we have Aaron Linson who joins us from Kentucky with plenty of tips and tricks you can use with LinkedIN. Aaron is a recruiter, and hosts his own podcast ‘AbilityCast’ which you can find here: https://anchor.fm/abilitycast. Not only that, but he is also a fantastic musician. Óran has news on how to spend 2 hours of your life. He recently logged an AirPod

It’s a packed Blind Guys Chat this week as the guys are talking everything from glaciers to tech. We begin with a sad story, spoiler alert, it’s not really too sad. Jan, has had to cancel his winter skiing trip in Germany because the Germans won’t let him into the country until he has had 3 vaccinations. But there is good news for Jan’s guide dog Geoff, as he is getting to spend time with his bitch next door while the wooden floors are installed at home. Stuart and Óran are mystified as to why

As we begin to head out of winter the Blind Guys Chat office is on fire. This episode could almost be called a ‘Rant Special’. After eventually receiving his Apple Airpods, Stuart was raging because not only were the earbuds too big for his little tiny ears, but the left one was not charging correctly. What was Stuart to do? Spoiler alert, he returned them. But that’s not the end of the story. Meanwhile, Óran has received his new iPhone 11. What does he think of ‘Face ID’? Can he survive without a
