Sometimes vision loss can be an advantage. Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey
share personal stories from listeners about times when their blindness
served as a "superpower". From tactile auto repair and precise machining to
efficient software coding and audio data analysis, discover how creative
problem-solving can turn challenges into strengths.

 

This is a follow-on to the episode we did several weeks ago about how little
sighted people can see of the full electro-magnetic spectrum:

Humans are blind to well over 99% of reality. Even sighted people can see
only the tiny sliver of the spectrum that is called 'visible' and must use
tools to detect the rest. Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey talk about how both
blind and sighted individuals use alternative senses and technology like
data sonification to navigate a massive, unseen world.
