#126: A changing of the guard

Blind Guys Chat would like to formally announce and warmly welcome Mohammed Laachir as our new permanent co-host. Mohammed brings a wealth of experience and gravity to this role - he is a former Martian Astronaut and a previous winner of the 2022 IDF swimsuit competition. Sjef and Larry (the BGC guide dogs) are pleased that there is now a responsible adult in the house. In other news, we are talking to Kevin Kelly and Chantelle Smith from the Wayfinding Centre in Dublin. This is a fantastic facility for public transport training, orientation, and learning to fly Airbus 319 aircraft, although Óran has now been banned from the centre as he managed to clip the wings off the plane during landing... oops! Also in the Wayfinding Centre on Saturday June 7 was our first look and demo of the vacuum cleaner known as Glide. This prototype mobility device is taking the blindy world by storm, and Óran got to take it for a test drive. Did he like it? Tune in to find out!! Clodagh has an email from Patty Murphy, who tells us about a recent episode of Doctor Who with an interstellar song contest. Have you seen it? The guys are throwing Kevin Sherwin under the bus for this one. So, strip down to your beard, fill up the paddling pool, and bask in the dappled sunlight that is: Blind Guys Chat - 11 out of 15 guide dogs prefer it to the Glide from Glidance.
