 The Blind Chick is an Aftersight Original hosted by Penn and Moses Street. It’s a raw, real, and often funny conversation space where blindness isn’t a limitation—it’s part of the story. Each episode dives into the lives of blind and low-vision people, exploring resilience, identity, and the messy, beautiful realities of living without sight. With heart, humor, and honesty, The Blind Chick breaks stereotypes, challenges stigma, and reminds us all that blindness is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a new one.2021 社会科学

    Can’t Drive? Let’s Sail: Katie Boyd on Accessible Blind Sailing
    2025/10/30
    In this episode of The Blind Chick Founder of Twin Cities Blind Sailing and co-founder of the U.S. Blind Sailing Association, Katy Boyd traces her vision-loss story, the freedom she found on the water, and how accessible sailing scales from youth camps to ocean racing. Topics include training blind helms with tactile and auditory cues, solo sailing in Mini-Illusions, safety and right-of-way on busy harbors, racing culture, mental-health benefits, and building national and global programs. Clear takeaways: sailing is teachable, teamwork matters, and access grows when local clubs partner and commit.

  • The Blind Chick Halloween Special: Ghosts, Giggles, and the Haunted Past

    The Blind Chick Halloween Special: Ghosts, Giggles, and the Haunted Past
    2025/10/23
    Penn and Moses dive headfirst into the spooky side of storytelling for this Halloween edition of The Blind Chick. Between haunted houses, eerie Estes Park encounters, and mysterious footsteps in the night, they share their most chilling (and hilarious) ghost stories — from cigarette-scented spirits to musical hammocks and haunted barns.
    The conversation mixes humor, disbelief, and genuine spine-tingling moments as they recall the haunted homes they’ve lived in across Colorado — and even reveal a terrifying discovery made years after they moved out. They also invite listeners worldwide, including fans from Estonia and Russia, to share their own paranormal experiences.
    The episode wraps with lighthearted warmth as Penn recounts a funny exchange with her grandson about “The Blind Chick” mascot, reminding us that even amid the eerie, laughter and kindness shine brightest.
