Andrew is a writer, audio producer, editor and teacher, who, in this episode, reflects on his love for writing and his lifelong journey with audio. This ranges from his experimentation with tape recorders as a child, through to his experience in college radio and his role as host and producer of the arts-and-culture podcast The Organist, working with KCRW in Los Angeles. Andrew then shares the story of how he came to write his first book, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight, and how that has led him to be featured as a guest in various podcasts.Podcast case study: Parallel (guest)Find Andrew at andrewleland.org.Read a transcript of the episode as a styled PDF or in plain text.Links and Show NotesLeft the Lens Cap On Campus radioInternet radioThe OrganistKCRWCompact disc (CD)This American LifeCamcorderConversation and Narrative Desktop publishingCable televisionTape recorderJoe FrankParaliteratureShotgun microphoneWriting The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight (2023) by Andrew LelandThe New YorkerDeafBlind Communities May Be Creating a New Language of Touch by Andrew LelandAccessibility Sprinkles Visual impairment (including more precise references to blindness and low vision)Screen readerAccessibility and more specifically, computer accessibility and Web accessibilityParallelShelly BrisbinFind Andrew's guest appearance in #86: An Immigrant in the Country of the Blind.Louis BrailleHackerBrailleExtended reality (XR) (including more precise references to augmented, mixed and virtual reality)It Feels Like a Gift LiminalityRyan KnightonCreditsRecorded and edited by Martin Feld, using Audio Hijack and Ferrite Recording StudioOriginal podcast theme music by Alex CanionContactWebsite: rsspod.netEmail: [email protected]Mastodon: social.lol/@martinfeldMicro.blog: micro.blog/martinfeld
