   3 Years of BLT

   Episode Summary In this personal three-year reflection, Evan Starnes steps away from the usual tech-heavy format to look back on the journey of Blind Level Tech since its launch in March 2023. He shares how his time at the Colorado Center for the Blind and his early internship at Aftersight helped shape his confidence, skills, and voice as both an audio producer and host. Evan walks listeners through the evolution of Aftersight’s podcasting world, from the early days of Community Conversations to the creation of Blind Level Tech alongside producer Jonathan Price. He reflects on the guests, co-hosts, spin-off ideas, and creative risks that helped BLT find its identity as a show that makes technology approachable for both lifelong blind listeners and those newer to vision loss. The episode also opens up a more vulnerable side of the work behind the mic. Evan speaks candidly about the pressure of trying to represent the blind and low-vision community well, the perfectionism that can come with creativity, and the personal struggles that have shaped the show’s highs and lows. It is an honest, human check-in on what it takes to keep building something meaningful week after week. Looking ahead, Evan shares his hopes for the future of Blind Level Tech, including more demos, more guests, Throwback Thursdays, continued BLT Bites, and a stronger creative rhythm after Aftersight’s current platform transition. Through it all, his goal remains the same: to make BLT a welcoming, informative, and distinctly human space for the blind and low-vision community. Contact Info Organization: Aftersight Website: Aftersight.org Feedback Email: feedback@aftersight.org Listener Voicemail: (720) 712-8856 Producer: Jonathan Price, Podcast Producer, Aftersight Show Credits Show: Blind Level Tech Host: Evan Starnes Producer: Jonathan Price Network: Aftersight Originals (00:02) - — Evan marks three years of Blind Level Tech (02:47) - — Life before BLT and training at the Colorado Center for the Blind (04:51) - — Evan’s Aftersight internship and the early podcasting days (07:18) - — Community Conversations, Penn Street, and Aftersight’s podcast growth (09:35) - — Jonathan Price joins Aftersight and BLT is born (11:59) - — The inspiration behind the show and building its sound (16:58) - — The vision for BLT: making tech approachable for everyone (19:23) - — Memorable guests, co-hosts, and lessons from hosting (24:17) - — Personal pressure, perfectionism, and the human side of podcasting (26:14) - — What’s next for BLT: more demos, more guests, more growth (31:03) - — Closing thanks and an invitation for listener feedback ★ Support this podcast ★

   Everything Apple Updates

   1) Episode Summary Evan Starnes opens this shorter solo episode with a quick update on Aftersight’s major platform transition and shares his excitement about getting back to creating more original content for Blind Level Tech. He introduces a new upcoming Thursday mini-series focused on vintage and retro assistive and consumer technology, giving listeners a fun “trip down memory lane” format that will be more relaxed and demo-driven. The main focus of the episode is a broad overview of the latest Apple product releases and what matters most for blind and low-vision users. Evan walks through the newly announced products, highlights accessibility-relevant features, and frames the conversation around practical use rather than deep technical specs. He discusses the value of these devices for students, everyday users, and those looking to upgrade from older Apple hardware. He also gives his take on the new iPhone and Mac lineup from the perspective of real-world accessibility, including MagSafe, storage, performance, camera practicality, and how useful certain “Pro” features may or may not be for blind users. The episode closes with an invitation for listener feedback and a reminder that more tech-focused content is on the way as the transition work settles down. 2) Contact Info Aftersight Contact Info Aftersight Email: feedback@aftersight.org Phone: (720) 712-8856 Website: Aftersight.org Producer Credit Produced by Jonathan Price 3) Show Credits Show: Blind Level Tech Host: Evan Starnes Producer: Jonathan Price Organization: Aftersight 4) Chapter Markers 00:03 — Evan opens with a quick show update 00:32 — Aftersight’s platform transition and what’s ahead 01:10 — Introducing Throwback Thursdays 02:25 — Why retro tech content fits Blind Level Tech 02:57 — Shift to Apple’s newly released products 04:40 — Wireless improvements and the new connectivity chip 05:22 — MacBook Neo overview 09:25 — New MacBook Air and MacBook Pro updates 11:47 — iPad Air gets a mention 12:08 — iPhone 17e overview and accessibility relevance 15:40 — Final thoughts and listener feedback invitation (00:00) - Tempo: 120.0 ★ Support this podcast ★
